Done.

Internet or in person, I think reading it is just as hurtful. I'm sure there's some members on here that uses there religion as there daily lives. Kinda like medicine for the heart and soul. Just like reading stuff in the newspapers. If someone said something really offensive then you're going to hear about it. Especially when it's public, just like this forum.


Of course Kathy Griffin is going to get that kind of reaction when you have millions of viewers watching. Can't really blame them. I know how it feels.

Good thing she didn't say 'Suck it Dr. King!' Then there would have been some serious repercussions.

Sure, some people get a kick out of pissing other people off. If thats their goal, they're going to succeed. The only thing is, most of those people can dish it out, but they sure can't take it.

The world has enough zealots - athiests included.

I have yet to receive a message from anyone that found my post offensive, but decided to remove it anyway, mainly because it seems to have derailed this entire thread. I'd be willing to bet that the ones making such a big deal of it, are the same type of people that wouldn't think twice about taping letters to my mailbox, putting them on my car, or littering the streets with propaganda about how great Jesus is.

Remeber when the movie Barbershop came out and Cedric the Entertainer had a crack during the movie about "Dr King wasn't shit!". I thought it was pretty funny in the context of the movie but there were all kinds of protests about it

Shall we have a thread explaining the difference between mocking folks who are in political and social power throughout the country, vs. mocking folks who still face discrimination based on attributes they cannot control?

I better get bent out of shape! Oh no! Someone is mocking a member of a minority! Better get on top of that now! I better do these things because its someone I don't know, will never actually meet and doesn't hold any sway over my life!

I don't want Cruise coming after me - he's an eight level dungeon master (or something like that) and can kill me with a flick of his bic.

LOL, yeah everyone else just gets offended, but the Scientologists will sue. And possibly have you killed.

Tough shit, then, don't read it.





Yogs, that Perry Como comment is gonna get you in big trouble with the bluehair crowd.

"Brethren, if outsiders should speak against me, or against the Doctrine, or against the Order, you should not on that account either bear malice, or suffer resentment, or feel ill will. If you, on that account, should feel angry and hurt, that would stand in the way of your own self- conquest."

I think that regardless of her right of free speech, what she said was just immature and tasteless, period. Militant athiests are just as self-righteous as religious extremists, and share the same superiority complex.

ha!
if you're looking to offend, don't forget
SUCK IT SANTA!!!

haha!
