While I don't like to see stuff on this forum that makes fun of Jesus, I don't let it feel like a personal insult, because it isn't. This post, on the other hand, was personal and directed at me specifically. It was directly making fun of me personally in regards to something very sacred to me. You guys know that.
You seem like a genuinely nice person CL.
Nonetheless, some of us are so firmly in the anti-religion camp we very much enjoy the slaughtering of sacred cows/Jesus/Mohamed at every turn. Religious "thought" has certainly earned it. (JHC looks askance at his shuffling feet at this juncture.)
Religion has played the "respect" card for far too long as a means to remove it from criticism. Dragging various icons into the light via parody/mockery seems to be working extremely effectively in these internet/social media times.
It fills the atheist-shaped hole in my heart with a-sustenance.
