I kinda get what you're saying, though while I don't see virtually any "late night" TV, is there really a lot of anti-Jesus mockery? I have a difficult time believing it's at a high level.

Anyway, the other side of that is for a joke to work, the audience has to be (a) interested and (b) knowledgeable [to some degree at least] about the topic. You don't hear a lot of Vishnu jokes because nobody really knows shit about it for the most part. Maybe on the King of Curry Comedy Tour would someone have a five-minute hunk on Hinduism but they probably wouldn't include it in their nightly set at Zanies.

So, the heavy skew (perceived or otherwise) is probably more about practicality than anything else.

To me, it's just as disrespectful on a religious person's part to try and cram their faith down your throat...which, going back to at least 9/11 has become quite prevalent in this country...

More now than ever, people want to scream about the country being a "Christian Nation", blah blah blah...but which brand of Christianity? Honestly, I've found the most overtly religious "Bible Thumpers" to be the most hypocritical pieces of garbage I've ever met. And they don't like me because I'm pro-Choice, Pro-Gay Rights, and Pro-Second Amendment....

Now, in interest of full disclosure, I used "Cafeteria Christians" as my example above, however, I'm an equal dick to people of all faiths that want to push their shit on me...I once tossed a free Koran off my front porch after I politely declined the nice Muslim people that wanted to give it to me, and they insisted on leaving it there, anyway (back in 07-08...whenever the new Mosque opened in Schaumburg).

My my. What a rant! Here you are talking about someone of religious background or belief being DISRESPECTFUL yet in the above you expose yourself as being one of the most DISRESPECTUL people on this board. Way to go, little one. Way to go:)

Blow it out your ass you miserable cocksucker.

I went to an Indian wedding. It was quite the spectacle with a horse and a foot washing in the ceremony. The problem was the food. My wife and I couldn't stomach any of it. The ice cream tasted like crap too. We ended up getting some burgers on the way home.

Well this is 2 threads today with America and Hawk throwing out personal insults and using derogatory terms. Will the Wisemen act IN DUE TIME?

I think "taking the Lord's name in vain" is misunderstood as swearing or cursing with God's name. What it actually means is using the Lord's name under false pretenses, like Joel Osteen, for example.
