Random Image Thread

re the Golden Rule, I assume you mean?

I have seen remarks from time to time by atheists or non-believers complaining that Christians feel free to push religion in their faces. However, in the reverse direction, it seems to be fair sport in this thread to mock Christianity as in the image we are talking about.

Peder,there are differences between Christianity and Jehovah's Witnesses.The whole internet is full of mocking pictures of religion,but also fat,ugly etc.

So, the Golden Rule comes to mind for voluntary restraint, in the absence of moderator comment.

Thought so.We get to the point.So,my original comment stands,a person who believes in God or whoever,a Christian as in this case,should not be bothered from a picture,they should be strong enough in their faith to carry on.

PS Let it be observed that I let the original image pass without remark. My post was in answer to someone who raised a question, so my intention is not to raise a war over the matter.

Yes yes,I observed that,we'll blame them for it.

Libra,

1) In my understanding, Jehovah's Witnesses are Christians. And what the rest of the Internet does by way of poor taste is not my concern for behavior here on BAR.

2) Quite apart from your personal opinion how religious people ought to behave, I thought there were community guidelines here against offensive racial, ethnic, religious etc remarks. Perhaps I am mistaken and you know better. Please enlighten us all.

3) I am not "blaming" anyone for my remark. I answered a question. You took exception and asked for clarification as I recall. So what's your beef? In fact what's to blame? A call for mutual restraint?

Libra6poe & NotTheDoctor, tl;dr means "too long; didn't read" and is usually used as a reply to a very long post.

Libra6poe, you have a PM regarding the strip.

I said there were differences,"Jehovah's Witnesses is a millenarian restorationist Christian denomination with nontrinitarian beliefs distinct from mainstream Christianity."

I have to admit Peder,that because the picture went over my head,and was not insulting to me ,I left it there,not thinking if someone else was insulted by it.

My beef with you and why I asked for clarification is your Holier Than Thou attitude and constant insults in an undermining way against the Mods.
You constantly make snipe remarks how we are not doing our jobs.
How we are blind.You know Peder ,we do miss posts,I personally don't read every post or thread in here.To go a bit further,there is this button called "Report this post",and if you or anyone else sees something offensive they can report it.
We also have pm's.

A call for mutual restraint? Sure,and I raise you a mutual respect.
