Why is it acceptable to make fun of christianity but not of other religions?

[Nadim171]

There is many TV shows that make fun of jesus, for example, the new Netflix show "the first temptation of christ" depicting jesus as a homosexual. Imagine if they made a TV show making fun of Muhammed, there would be an outrage, everyone will call it "Islamophobic" and "racist" imagine if they made a tv show making fun of jews, they'd call it "anti semetic" and "nazi". Perhaps it is because christians are too peaceful.

[AbleLearner]

Jesus was obviously a false prophet, so mocking him is acceptable. He falsely claimed to be "God in the Flesh" and none of his prophecies have ever been fulfilled... not even after 2000 years.

the apostles clearly hid the body of Jesus, and then faked their religion for money for the rest of their lives... the same way modern pastors do.

I have disproven all Abrahamic religions by the very virtue of the fact the Jews and Arabs were NOT descended from Ur of the Chaldeans. They were descended from the Cananite and Hittites, which we know by blood DNA evidence today that they dwelt in the land of Canan for thousands of years before Abraham could have ever existed.

the entire Torah account and book of Joshua account is a myth, none of it ever happened. The entire New Testament is a myth, none of that ever happened.

i mean other religions are idiotic too what are you tryna get at

[Exterminatore]

@ AbleLearner

You are incorrect.

What about this prophesy:

“And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here! And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.”
‭‭Mark‬ ‭13:1-2‬ ‭KJV‬‬

This was fulfilled shortly after Christ’s death during the Maccabean Revolt.

The discussion is about Herod’s temple. When the Jews revolted against Rome, Jerusalem was surrounded and the Jews turned the temple into a fortification. The Romans set fire to it and the ornate gold within melted and flowed and then hardened in-between the stones of the temple. The Romans ripped it down brick by brick to get the gold that melted in-between the stones and literally fulfilled the prophesy. Today all that’s left of that temple is the wailing wall.

If you’re going to level such accusations against Jesus and Christianity, be certain you’re not mistaken and are speaking the truth.

[pajamasam]

I think it's because Christians dont know how to take a joke. And the only religion that is worse at taking a joke than christianity is Islam. Put happy holidays on a Starbucks cup and all of a sudden there is a war on Christmas. Like maybe Starbucks knows there are people of several religions so instead of pointing out a specific wi ter religious holiday they just congratulate all of them. Do you ever see Jews claiming a war on hannukah? No because they are aware that not everyone is jewish and they are okay with that.

[Youryeodongsaeng]

I wouldn't call, "saying Jesus was gay is making fun of Christianity"
I'm not a Christian, nor religious. But I would think Jesus was homosexual. People do say that being Gay and Lesbian is a sin or liking your own gender is a sin. I don't believe that. Not one bit. Love is love. Can't God see that?
I don't care if it is a sin. They probably say it's a sin because Lesbians and Gays can't make a baby. Even though, it's very rare for a guy to have a baby. Women can get a fertilized baby.
Like I said, "Love is love." No-one should be forced to like the opposite gender if that person is gay or lesbian. They can't help their sexual orientations. It is their choice.

[Nadim171]

How about pedophilia? Is it also "love"

[Youryeodongsaeng]

Bloody Hell, no! That's illegal and is not right! Yes, love is love, but adults or teens who has a child fetish is just wrong! Age does matter, but for teens, the "age matters" thing is for 13/14 year old girl falling in love with a 28 year old man/woman. 4 years or 5 or less years apart doesn't matter. As long as it is not a child.

[Nadim171]

So now you agree that "love isn't love" all the time, not all love is correct. Having sex with the same gender as you is also incorrect, as there is no real sex here. Sex is pleasurable, yes. But the main goal of sex is reproduction.

[Youryeodongsaeng]

It's about organsms. A guy having sex with another guy is still sex because they both have lost their virginities. A girl having sex with another girl is still sex, but there is another word for it: scissoring or tribbing. Making them both virgins.

[Nadim171]

If there is no male and female organs there is no sex. It's not a real sexual intercouse. But i wouldn't be surprised if 20 years later pedophilia became normal and acceptable

[Youryeodongsaeng]

I really hope pedophilia will be banned.

[Nadim171]

And i don't hope homosexuality would be banned. Everyone should be free to do what they want but also everyone should have the right to criticize them. That's free speech

[Youryeodongsaeng]

Yes, but why should homosexuality be banned? I mean, the law can't prevent gay couples to divorce or break up. And why I want pedophilia to be banned because that is lust, not love. You people need to learn the difference between lust and love.

[Nadim171]

But i didn't say i want it to be banned. I just don't approve of it as real marriage and therefore i don't see any reason for it to be documented.

Pedophiles claim it to be love and sometimes they really both believe that they're in love and it's not just about sex.

[Youryeodongsaeng]

Homosexuals getting married is still marriage. It's a real marriage.

Pedophiles are just confused. I mean, if you had a child and a grown woman or man "falls in love" with your child. Just imagine your 5 year old child dating a 20-38 year old man/woman. And if they say that child is their girlfriend/boyfriend, that will be an automatic arrest.

It is normal for a child to have a crush on someone older than them and someone who is or isn't attractive.

This is just like a teacher and a 9th grader, a 14/15 year old student sceretly dating.

Just say, a child and a married man/woman like each other and started dating sceretly.
In a song called Teacher's Pet, this lyric, "If I'm so special, then why am I secret?"

The child may fall in love with someone in their 20s or 30s and if they manage to date, they would have to keep it a secret. The child might not want it to be a secret, oblivious that if the child does tell someone that his/her boyfriend/girlfriend is in their 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, or even 60s, they will not hesitate to call the police because some child tend to always tell the truth.

I'm not supporting pedophilia. But this is just what they might do. And it's not love. Not at all. That child is oblivious if he/she thinks they're in love with someone waaaaay older than them.

[Nadim171]

I don't get the point here, you say this isn't love because of the huge age gap but this isn't too different from my claim that i don't approve of homosexuality because it's not between 2 of the opposite gender

[Youryeodongsaeng]

I support homosexuality strongly. I've never met a homosexual person in reality, but I know I wouldn't mind becoming best friends with one. With you not approving homosexuality, I'm offended. There is more than one sexuality out there. And I'm one of them. I just don't get why you see homosexuality in another way. I don't get homophobic people at all. I mean, what's wrong with homosexuality? What's wrong with guys having boyfriends, girls having girlfriends and a guy having a boyfriend and a girlfriend or a girl having a girlfriend and a boyfriend? Why do people think that same-sex marriages should be banned? I just don't get it. To me, as people seeing these things wrong, I think that's bullshit. You can't hate homosexuality just because you think it isn't right.

And with the love is love thing, I never mentioned anything about pedophilia in the first place. When I meant love is love, I meant, regardless of genders, nationality, race, you can still love. And pedophilia is out of ”love is love”. That shit isn't love. That doesn't even count. Not even close. I would date someone younger than me, one or two years younger and that's it.

[Nadim171]

You're using a strawman right now. I just said i don't want homosexuality to be banned. And also i am not afraid of homosexuality therefore not homophobic.

Aren't you already risking offending a pedophile right now? Yes, you are. And this is normal because in order to express your freedom of speech you're already risking offending someone.

The reason I'm against homosexuality isn't mainly religion but because it goes against the rules of nature. If early humans were mostly gays we would have gone extinct.

[Nadim171]

In fact gay people have a bigger chance to catch diseases such as aids or uncontrollable pooping. As well as most gay people have depression and mental problems and weren't attracted to the same gender since childhood

[Youryeodongsaeng]

But there is a way to lowering the risk of STDs, AIDs and HIVs. By wearing condoms. And I don’t think I’m offending pedophile. In my opinion, more than one people will think that I’m right about pedophile.
Now that I haven't heard of any other pedophiles besides R. Kelly, I can just rest this here.
Clearly, narrow-minded people are the worst.

[Nadim171]

Why wouldn't you call yourself narrow minded for being against pedophilia? I can bet when we're in our 50's we'll be debating people that are saying that pedophilia is normal just like homosexuality.

[Youryeodongsaeng]

I highly doubt that. You're saying that pedophilia is normal. It isn't. You're praising the wrong kind of thing here. If you think pedophilia is normal, then how about incest? Is that also normal to you?

[Nadim171]

I don't think pedophilia is normal, i said by time we accept the wronger thing.

First sex outside of marriage, then homosexuality, then transgenderism, pedophilia and incest next.

[Youryeodongsaeng]

I don't mind the others, but the pedophilia is really bothering me. That shouldn't be an option. And we are lucky that we get to live in 2054, despite how young we are.

[Youryeodongsaeng]

In the U. S., we call pedophiles ”Sex offenders”.
If pedophilia were to become as normal has homosexuality, children and teens will never be safe. Dead children or missing children that some people think are dead.
If pedophilia increases, (and I am stating that pedophilia isn't in ”love is love”) just think about children dying during sexual intercourse. And if pedophiles say that they just are in ”love” with children, they will eventually take advantage of the child.

[Nadim171]

Loool

[Youryeodongsaeng]

? What's funny?

[Nadim171]

The 2054 thing.
What if the child does it willingly?

[Youryeodongsaeng]

Then that's the child’s life.

[BlacklightShade]

This week there’s an article about a priest who tried to pay for a Grinder hookup with an Arby’s gift card. Try and NOT make fun of that.

https://boingboing.net/2019/12/18/preacher-tried-to-pay-for-grin.html

[ShadowofRegret]

Because the world is against God, people don't do it with "other religions" because they know those are manmade, their laser-guided hostility toward Lord Jesus only shows that He is who He says, the Son of God.

The world is accepting of everything of it's own creation, but only when it is something of God are they against it.

[Jessi_Clem]

Yes, yes, yes!! I love how you worded this so amazingly. It's so true. This made me so happy lol

[ShadowofRegret]

Thank you miss.

[MuseOfSarenrae]

Since the US has a large Christian population American entertainers are more comfortable with and prepared to criticize Christianity. It's not necessarily that Christianity is more deserving than other theologies of criticism, it's that there entertainment industry knows that religion the best, so that's what gets the most heat. Unfortunately but understandably, people take their religion very personally, and zealous believers of any faith are quick to conflate mocking a belief with mocking the believer: problems with Judaism becomes problems with Jewish people, problems with Islam becomes problems with Muslims, problems with Christianity becomes problems with Christians. It's a gut reaction that stifles free debate.

[Metallsturm]

Because christians don't detonate themselves in return.

[Nadim171]

Exactly.

[Cherokeehp]

Personally I find all religions to be ridiculous, but Christianity is the major religion in the US. No one in the US is being persecuted, discriminated against, or punished for being Christian. Muslims actually are discriminated against.

[Anonymous]

I guess because it's Christian people who make fun of their own religion?
There's a quote from a youtuber. I forget the exact words but it's like "I can mock Asians because I'm asian"
I think it's the same with some people mocking their own religion?
I'm a Muslim but i admit that some Muslims are extremely easily offended.
I've seen christians making fun of Jesus a few times online but never saw any Muslim doing that.

[AynonOMouse]

Because society these days hates Christians because so many people are very immoral scum and they could never live up to even half of what the Bible says.

They would rather have lots of hook ups (be a slut/player), do recreational drugs, get drunk and pass out, betray people to get ahead, etc. People are often scum and they know it so they hate Christianity because it points out just how immoral and corrupt people are.

[genericname85]

because it matters what your backround is and the stereotypes that go along with making fun of certain religions. for muslims there's always that terrorist stereotype that you can't avoid and for jews they just have such a troubled history it litterally is almost like racism to make fun of them xD

[LuWe22]

Because Christinanity is the Majority. Jews and muslims are still a minority in western countrys. Christinanity is the ordinary, the status quo so people making openly fun about it. I'm a Atheist so I make fun of every religion. For me it is all the same and I don't care if a fictional character is gay or straight.

[Duckysback]

Think you are confusing making fun of a religion with making fun of people. Or even just being an asshole. Pointing out the contradictions in the old testament is perfectly fine. saying that Jews are responsible for all the wars isn’t.

[7771999]

That is what is fine today. True

[BCRanger10]

So Netflix releasing a movie portraying Jesus as a homosexual isn't being an @$$hole... how?

[Duckysback]

@BCRanger10 I mean… he did hang out with 12 dudes and a hooker. How do you know he wasn’t gay?

[KrakenAttackin]

It goes much deeper than just making fun of Christians. Around the world Christians are regularly murdered and Church's are destroyed (especially in Muslim regions). The mentally ill liberals actively encourage this destruction of Christianity, not realizing that Christians are the only people would would actually protect liberals while the Muslims would happily kill them.

[ZeussLightningBolt]

I guess because Christians are still "officially" the majority, and also Leftists believe that everyone is allowed to kill and conquer except white Christians.

[Paige90]

I would not watch or support any network that had a show like this!

[reptocarl]

Blame the Dems. Remember Clinton calling it a “holiday tree” so it wouldn’t offend other religions?

[itsthatgurl]

Yeah they're always making fun of Christianity but no other religion, it's not far, but they'll get what's coming to them I believe

[winterfox10]

Because Christianity is the majority religion in the West. If you go to Iran and other Islamic countries (I would assume), they make fun of Muslims instead.

[Nadim171]

The point is that they don't. If you'd come to egypt for example, and that's where i live, and you make fun of Muhammed on screen you'll be arrested and go to jail. But in the christian world you won't.

[winterfox10]

Huh... modern muslims are a much more aggressive group of people than modern christians

[Hayat_bir_savaştır]

we Muslims believe in prophet Jesus and we respect him. no Muslim will insult him. but Christians can insult the Prophet Muhammad. mutual respect is very important

[suncookie]

I don't know what Christians would insult the prophet Muhammad... I was raised to respect him and every other religion and their prophets because that's what's right... I'm sorry that you've had Christians insult your prophet... :(

[QueenTanya]

Jesus is God, not a prophet

[Hayat_bir_savaştır]

@QueenTanya not for us

[AbleLearner]

@QueenTanya

Are you aware that an Old Testament prophet said twice that God is not a man?

"God is not a man, that he can lie, neither the Son of Man, that he should repent..." (Numbers 23:19)

What do you say to that? Anyone claiming to be "God in the Flesh" is false prophet.

An actual Almighty God gains nothing by sacrificing himself on a Cross, because he is already the Greatest Conceivable Being that can possibly exist in any conceivable world.

Therefore the death and resurrection of Jesus does not in any way add to the real God's ability to forgive sins, even if Jesus did rise from the dead...

[Exterminatore]

@Hayat

With all respect, why do Muslims think he’s only a prophet? In the Bible he equated himself with God many times?

I believe he was/is God and equal to God. I do not believe in Mohammed or Allah.

[QueenTanya]

@AbleLearner John 10:30 I and my Father are one.

[QueenTanya]

@AbleLearner "Jesus replied, “Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and yet you still don’t know who I am? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father! So why are you asking me to show him to you?" John 14:9

[Liam_Hayden]

Christianity is a target because:

1. It has a lot of followers.
2. The people are not likely to behead you for ridiculing them.
3. Just turn on TBN. Some of the "leaders" are pretty ridiculous.

[Anonymous]

Because Christians won't go on a terrorist attack if you mock Christianity

[Tamera952]

Get outta here with your ‘Christian persecution complex‘ — who’s “they” that said (or think) this?

[AngelLily]

The world hates Jesus the most because he tells the truth
