I don't know about that. Islam is probably the dominant religion in numbers.

Christianity has 2.38 Billion followers, Islam has 1.8 Billion

 

[Dakstang]

I would NEVER seriously think about killing myself.

Christianity if fair game though. Making fun of Islam can get you murdered.

As I said, everyone’s mind works differently, and I understand that you got to be careful, because you can’t just cancel everything. But try to understand from someone who has a trigger like that, some things just aren’t funny, and shouldn’t be made light of.

 

[Dakstang]

We can't tiptoe around issues because it might offend someone.

Yeah, because Christianity is the dominant religion in the United States. It is a powerful organization here. Making jokes about Christianity is punching up to it, because it has such sociological dominance and power.

 

[Barry Poppins]

Which was CARLIN'S WHOLE POINT

I would argue that Christianity is NOT the dominant thing for younger folks. They have been conditioned and brainwashed to ridicule it.

 

[Barry Poppins]

People can get offended, but it's better to punch up to powerful organizations than to kick down on the downtrodden.

Which is why I said if they are going to have these things, have some sort of warning before hand.

 

[Dakstang]

Ah that is B.S.

Agree to disagree.

 

[Rosie]

There is an area where we can have some fun and poke fun at each other, but there is a genuine line. Like beating down people already suffering, doing "jokes" in a mean spirited, hateful way, etc.

It's almost like the Catholic Church, the most powerful organization in the world, has a history of being a fucking horrible entity.

 

[O-Blaze]

What’s wrong with adding something to a program before hand?
