NOT ACTUAL PHOTO
Somebody left the jesus dressup up on my laptop
as a coming-back-into-my-room present. I don't get it. Why spend
all your energy on the "outrageous atheist" thing?
You're right, they're wrong. So what?
Carrie
I know, seriously. So what? Why does anyone
even give a rat's ass about such a siilly little disagreement
when it doesn't even affect anyone? In fact, I hardly see why
anybody would do anything that'd make fun of someone with wrong
beliefs. It's childish and immature to play around with people's
incorrect beliefs, especially when they don't have anything
to do with my life what so ever.
Right?
Bob
I can see what you mean. It's probably easier for me to take
a live-and-let-live approach because I have never been the target
of evangelism or otherwise pressured into believing in anything.
My parents weren't religious.
I guess that's the point, though. What I find objectionable about some Christians is their insistence that their own beliefs are right, and that others should believe the same. Many groups of people are guilty of that, though, and among such groups Christians are probably the easiest targets. Atheism constitutes a set of beliefs, too, and I find atheist "evangelism" no more or less objectionable than any other kind. I guess that's what I objected to in how your site appeared to me at first glance. That impression could be wrong. I certainly don't object to satire.
For what it's worth, I don't really believe that your view or the standard Christian view are wrong or right, because as far as I can tell the world is absurd and consists of nothing but competing frames of reference each making their own claim to truth. I try not to believe or disbelieve anything, whenever it is practical to do so.

Very inappropriate. Would you do this to Mohammed
or the pope? Thank the Lord we live in a free nation,
where you can get away with this. (Sarcastic comment)
Remember the British woman who named a teddy bear Mohammed?
They wanted to kill her. You probably would not last
in any other nation. Give that some thought, and wonder
if you should dare to humiliate the image of Jesus,
and offend those of us who worship Him. Shame on You.

Hold on one second. Your email sounds as if you condone their
behavior (wanting to kill the woman who named the teddybear
Muhammad, blasphemy a major criminal offense, planes
crashing into buildings, etc), and respect should be
shown to their gods because other than the fact that
I live in a free nation justice would be served on my
blasphemy of Jesus Christ.
Is that what you're saying?
Shame on you, Cindy Elliott!

| “...at least they demand respect for their holy figures.” |
I don't condone their behavior, of course not. But
at least they demand respect for their holy figures.
I was terribly offended at your website, and astonished
at your lack of understanding for respect and honor
of our God, after all, our nation was founded on Christian
beliefs.
Check your heart sir. There are important issues at
stake here.

You've got to be kidding me. You should be ashamed for championing
these people who threaten violence and murder. Your
respect for them and their fanatical devotion to make-believe
characters should appall you and make you examine your
own radical devotions more realistically. The last thing
their actions should be inspiring is some sort of goal
to aspire to!!
And our nation was founded by people who were trying
to escape such fanaticism. And for good reason. Look
how anxious you are to repeat those mistakes!
Check your heart, Cindy. There are very VERY important
issues at stake here. And you seem to think that your
god's bruised ego is one of them, and the well being
of those who question, doubt, criticize or satirize
come a distant second, third, or even last place.
My god, your priorities are all out of whack. Is this
what "putting God first" actually turns people
into?
I relate to the Pilgrims right now.

Your site is a disgrace, especially as it comes up
so high on the sites listed by Google for people who
might be looking for Jesus at Christmas. You should
be ashamed.

Well don't blame Google, blame yourself, for Christ's sake! The
only reason it's so high in the search is because people
like you search it out, click on it, play around with
it, email me from the page to yell at me, send it to
all your friends, they play it then yell at me from
the page and send it to their friends, and so on and
so on!
You'd think if you people didn't like something that
much you'd just not go visit it all the time. Right??
Jeesh!
You're the one who should be ashamed.
