I understand that, but at the same time, we live in the 21st century with 21st century mores. Christianity has to deal with the same problems today that Islam does. South Park didn't just single out Mohammed. They made Buddah snort lines of coke, and Jesus watch internet porn. In an earlier episode (the one that directly deals with banning Mohammed's image), Buddah took a dump on Jesus. As a Christian, did that tick me off? Yes. Does it make me aggrivated that they blaspheme Jesus Christ? Absolutely. However, I didn't see Christian reprisals against Comedy Central for it. Jesus was never censored, nor Buddah. Only one person was censored because radical violence was threatened. This wasn't because Islam is newer than Christianity, after all, they live in the same age everyone else does. Using the argument that Islam being newer gets a free pass because Catholcism was atrocious in the 14th century is a really lame excuse. It tries to rationalize extremist violence as being 'normal' which is never okay. If I ever found a homosexual, or atheist being attacked by a pastor, I would gladly sacrifice my life for the unbeliever, because Christianity has never been about violence, despite the actions of the blasphemous Catholic church, and other 'Christian' retards in ages past. My point is that you can, and should always judge murder and violent threats as being wrong. I don't care if its from a pastor, cleric, or adherant of any religion. If people are dying in the name of something, they are wrong. Period. |
well said.in fact the whole thing is sound in my opinion.
