A simple request....

TBH. Everyone complained when they drew the cartoons mocking aladin, that it was ok to do it, since we live in countries where free speech is allowed.
Why should christianity be any different?

Answer me this, do you respect everyone belief no matter how far fetched they are.


If i believe in flying camels from that planet numbnuts that created life on earth, am i to be respected or commited??? Where is the line.

1) No.

2) I think you can use common sense to know where the line is - there are lots of religous folk on these so you can use your head to figure out that showing some empathy will avoid you annoying a lot of people.
 
MatBlack you talk sense fella :D lol. I shall attempt to put another perspective on this one. Me been a Sheep... oh no thats offensive, Welsh... I see everyday wet mocked, we get racism, there was a thread only the last week where the whole base was mock the welshman... iirc the welsh amongst us was taking it as humour and giving it back to the english/nordic/norse/german/french/inbread people accross the other side of Offas Dyke. Its all humor fellas, i couldnt care less if anyone posted sheep pictures with welsh flags on all day long, its a symbol of our country and its funneh! Lighten up Ash and all the other christian fellas.
As previously posted, were already moderated enough without getting totally Politically (sp?) correct and only been able to talk about , well, i dunno... How nice is the weather today, how nice is your sheep? Lighten up once and for all :D
By the way, I get offended with Anti welsh jokes so please dont mock my country/religion/belief/sheep.

Nuff said. :eek: *prepares for deletion/ban-holiday*

You believe in what I believe is one of the biggest deceptions of all time, spanning the globe and used as a wealth and power accumulator for centuries.

Are you going to try and tell me that I am wrong to believe that?

I see fit to mock anything and everything I see. I take the mick out of my Pakistani housemate all of the time - he sees it for what it is, a joke. Hair colour / skin colour / religion / obesity / accent etc etc have all been used for comedic purposes for centuries.

Ok, take a look at the comic strip thread. Megzy, Otacon, Gilly, Huddy and numerous others have been *directly* 'insulted' by those comics and have taken them in the manner expected.

Is it too much to ask that you take these indirect "insults" in the manner intended - as a JOKE?

Take this as your Baptism of fire and can i be the first one to say welcome to OCUK! :D

Ive been reading these boards for years now, I thought I knew what to expect...


That was strange, there seemed to be replys and quote of a post of mine before I clicked the post button!
 
Just thought, some other more educated than I here may answer this... wasnt Star Wars officially a religion after the last Census because of so many people put it on the form?... And if so..Should we not post any Anti Star Wars pics either?

I just wanted to make a request, by the way that some of you are replying I think I should be expecting a pitchfork wielding mob at my door any second

Frankly I was expecting a little more support

I really like these boards, they're normally funny and helpful, I just wanted you to understand that Jesus is extremely dear to people, and to ask for some respect of that

Don't twist it so we are the bad guys, we are expressing our free speech, which quite frankly you are trying to supress.

Our point being is that if we drop our censorship to include Jesus pictures, a lot of other things will need to be banned too. Such as tattoo and piercing threads, as no doubt some people find these offensive in some ways.

You just sound like you're moaning now because you made a dodgy request and didn't get your way.

I cant believe you were seriously expecting people to say "Oh, why of course we will stop posting pictures of JC"
 
Since we are talking religion, i have a question..
Why is Jesus sometimes reffered to as Jebus? Or am i missing something here...

Yep, though technically you can only be a Christian if you are 'born again' into a new life with Christ

Im off out now, I'll check back on the thread later, (if it hasnt spiraled out of control and been deleted by then)

The Simpsons... go do some research :p

That too, but chances are we do it 'cos of the simpsons lol.

As for the OP, my beliefs are similar to DRZ. Religion itself costs us money, wastes our time and justifies actions that people would normally never consider doing.
If you don't like the pictures then don't look at them or take them humerously like they were intended. You choose your beliefs, so you are choosing to be offended by them.

To the OP. I think that you should accept that there are people on this forum that will not respect your beliefs. In all fairness this forum is made up of many different people from all ever the place who believe in different things. Posting images of religious icons can either be deemed as offensive, or light hearted humour depending on the actions of the person who posted them and the person reading them.
If this was a Christian forum then things would be different. I wouldnt really be bothered if I were you about what other people on here think about you and your religion, as long as your happy with yourself and your beliefs.
