AF Hall of Shame (Theist edition)

[Esquilax]

Well from Life of Brian, which kinda shows the UK bias, and also the world I think as how would it do so well otherwise? Contraversial in it's time. Not offensive at all now. To stuff like Dogma, The Simpsons, South Park. These are the front line. Plenty others just behind. To me it seems to be pervasive. I don't mind at all. I just can't see how anyone would thing that there was a widespread religious zeitgiest going on.

I dunno, I don't think a little ribbing counts as anti-religion, nor do I think religion should be held above satire or parody. Like it or not, we live in a society were religion is pretty pervasive, and things that exist occasionally get made fun of. I don't see it as being a concerted effort to do anything, just that this is one area of life where religion doesn't assert quite as strong a social influence anymore, mainly because we now live in a global world where you can't just rely on everyone who views your film/tv show/ morse code message is going to have the same ideology, and... well, people get pissy about religion, and controversy sells.

I get your point. To me they're essentially the same.

They don't have to be. Nor should they be; unless you're all about your religion all the time to the exclusion of all else, I'm sure you're a little bit secular too.

lol Those were high profile cases in the uk, and both were covered on these boards.

And this is how we learn. Thanks for showing me those.

Seriously, how hard is it to read what I actually say and not what you imagine???

Dude, you really going to get pissy over a simple attribution error? This is worth getting your dander up?

Why don't you go back to just willfully misinterpreting that fish comment from a while back? I know how much that must soothe you...
