The Passion of the Christ, a non-Christian Review

Sammy you have a valid point. But I think as people of the J/C faith, we've been getting condtitioned by the constant attacks on our Faith for so long we tend to get gunshy about anything said about our religion.

I started looking at it like this, serious attack? Serious defense. Someone poking some fun? Laugh and let HIM deal with it.

you are right, that would make an awful piece...

Now if that black girl was tried and executed in a Roman Court 2000 years ago, and then she became Deified and worshiped by the largest religion in the world...

then YES it would make for some freakin high-larious comedy! nyuk-nyuk

That's hilarious

I think it's fine to poke fun. There's nothing written to say that's morally wrong. Perhaps it's upsetting to read, I'll give you that, but I think it's valid to post regardless. I just don't hold that anything is 'sacreligious'. It's either sin or it's not. And if it's not sin, why not laugh at the joke?

EDIT:

*looks in the Bill of Rights for a right to not be offended*

I believe it's somewhere in there or we'd be allowed to scream hateful remarks at minorities we disliked?

Uhm, you ARE allowed to. Check the whole freedom of speech thing. Theres a fine line between harassment and free speech in situations like that, but you can say quite a bit. Its your constitutional right to be a racist. Its the governments job to keep you from infringing on the rights of others, but you are free to believe whatever you want. And say such.

I'm not saying people can't objec to what JDub posted, but he is free to speak his mind. He didn't flame, or curse. I don't believe theres an AO rule against satire.
