[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The bible is true because for some reason the world seems hellbent on attacking it from all angles. Jesus said " this is the condemnation, light has come into the world but men turn from the light preferring the darkness of their evil deeds."  The bible is a message of love and Jesus commands meekness.  But the world hates it . Christianity is the only religion allowed to be publicly criticized and mocked .  That tells me one thing...... It's the true religion. The world and God are at odds the world will promote false religion and humanism and attack the truth.  Those who search will find it. Jesus said the road to salvation is narrow the path to destruction is wide and many will take it.[/quote]

Your leap from "it's the only religion allowed to be mocked" to "therefore it must be the true religion" is not only inaccurate but so logically flawed that every teacher you ever had (with the possible exception of your religion teachers) must've suddenly felt a disturbance in the Force.

So, as long as a religion claims a persecution complex and is sufficiently paranoid, it must be true? Does your logic extend into the various sects of Christianity, that if people mock Catholicism more than Episcopalians then Catholicism must be "more true"?

There are comedians who mock Christianity and more particularly, Christians who act in ways that merit mockery. Comedians mock Catholics for some things and Protestants for some things (Monty Python's "Every Sperm is Sacred" comes to mind, as does Mel Brooks' bit about the Inquisition in "History of the World, Part 1"). Many comedians mock Mormonism. There are comedians and cartoonists who mock Islam and Hinduism, especially in the countries where those religions are more prominent. There are lots of comedians who mock Scientology.

Go watch South Park if you think Christianity is the only religion being mocked.

But I'll bet it's the other way around. You think it's ok to mock the other religions because you believe Christianity is "True!" So, from your perspective, mocking your "True!" religion is truly mockery, while jokes about other religions are just funny because those other religions aren't "True!" like yours.[/quote]
