Sarah Palin Speaks In Tongues

Wow. Apparently Pentecostals are "offended" by this cartoon, and want it removed from Washingtonpost.com. In their defense, they are right that the Washington Post refused to run the Danish "Mohammad Cartoons". After all, they ran in an Egyptian newspaper (as shown) and nobody rioted there.

I often wonder in these sorts of discussions whether Christians are complaining that they wouldn't riot; or whether they are threatening that they might?

Here's what I think. We should be proud in the West that we don't riot when someone makes a joke involving something about our religious beliefs (or lack thereof).

Am I wrong?

Edited to add: It's worth mentioning the original cartoon ran on 9 September - before Palin started speaking in tongues during CBS News Interviews...

Family Guy Jesus Compilation

Total genius. I saw the clip at 3:09 in an episode on TV the other night and nearly fell of my chair. It's all funny, 'cause it's all true.

Jebus Offends

I used the word "Jebus" at the absurd TheologyWeb. I got one of these:

I asked what I did to offend. The moderator replied:

"It didn't "supposedly" offend anyone, it's against policy here to allow derogatory references to Jesus."

Just how insecure are these jerks?

Tell you what, "Dr. Jack Bauer" and anyone else out there troubled by the word "Jebus".

I want you to think about the worst thing you can possibly imagine. Something horrific and disturbing. Something illegal and unnatural. The kind of image that will scar you; keep you awake at night; maybe even make you throw up in your mouth a little bit. That's good. Hold that thought...

Now imagine I'd called Jesus that.

There - all of a sudden "Jebus" doesn't seem so bad, does it?
