You certainly sobered me up. (none / 0) (#9)

And irregardless of the way I choose to live my life, I can't help but get a little defensive whenever I hear Christianity being slammed (especially Catholicism where I was raised, and over the last couple years I've had to put up with a ton of anti-catholic shit.) Usually the people most vocal about their disdain for religion are those who weren't even affected by it in any way, other than possibly having been bored sitting through a 90 minute service.

But since this site is named Satanosphere we'd be fools to believe that it should be a safeplace for Christian portrayals. For it to not be offensive, however, those who post need to grow a bigger set of balls and be cynical (or downright hateful) against ALL religions. The reason we're not seeing that is because it's cool to bash Christianity, while it's considered racist (or at the mildest, politically incorrect) to bash any other religion.

I mean, for godsake if I were to post what I really think of Sharon's policies I can already tell you what kind of response I'd get. (The biggest argument always tends to be that since I live in Olympia I have no right to have an opinion on current events or the state of the world. That's bullshit.)

The reason South Park is funny (at least in the first couple seasons) is because they fucked over every creed, color, orientation, nationality and what have you. Nothing was sacred, everyone was fair game.


I'm sorry but I have had it! I have never heard of such a Christmas!! Sex... and drugs... an-an-and women being set on fire!

I was thinking, though... the reason South Park does what they do -- and this is, I grant you, a very shaky artistic premise that must be handled with extreme caution if the message is to get dispensed properly -- is to mock the stereotypes being propogated. True, if Trey & Matt didn't try to dispense a real moral message at the end of every episode (the one part of the show where, believe it or not, they really aren't joking, no matter how funny it sounds), then maybe it just might be random, hatefully produced spew. But usually it isn't. At least most of the time, anyway.

This is also called the Howard Stern defense. I can understand it and laugh at it most of the time.

There's really nothing wrong with the absolute core of any religion out there. It's just when you picket Matthew Sheperd funerals with signs that say "God Hates Fags," or ram passenger planes into buildings in the name of your God, that you're wrong.

That said, you never get this problem from the Buddhists.

I remember that now. Well, it took awhile at any rate.
