re: #189 SidewaysQuark

Meh, people deserve courtesy. Ideas don’t, and religions are just ideas. “Courtesy” for everything is the death of rebellion and the soul.

Aimed at Jews, no. Jokes about YHWH, yah, equally entertaining. If people take jokes about their deities of choice as personal insults, that’s really their personal problem.

Aside from the basic “I can make fun of religions because they’re just ideas” thing, which I don’t agree with, do you really not believe that, in the context in which it was written, that was meant as an attack on Muslims, not a lighthearted commentary on the silliness of religion?

Bear in mind that it was appended to a hatefest against Muslims in response to an article about people starving to death in East Africa.

I don’t see much reason to think that the writer is not a plain old bigot.
