Religious jokes

[-gem-]

Are they always offensive?

[terambulan]

Not when it about christians.....as they have a sense of humour

[Octavius]

Nope

[abstract]

no! i know muslims,jews and christians that enjoy religious sterio-typical kinds of jokes from friends,but if these same jokes are told by a stranger spat out with venom in an offensive way,then obviously its meant to be an insult and will be taken that way! but even these friends have a line and theres certain things that you just dont say out of respect!

Depend who's telling them, here's a gem from Billy Connolly

I described something as 'about as useful as the Pope's penis' and a catholic accused me of being a 'bigot'. I pointed out that the pope would be the first to agree that his penis is not that useful but this did not wash.

I dunno, maybe he was molested as an altar boy or something.

[Octavius]

Its just one of a whole number of 'as much use as....' lines.

I imagine the penis could still be used for weeing. Nuffink offensive about it at all. Old, but not offensive.

The current Pope is a Nazi isn't he??

[-gem-]

No, jewish, check the foreskin.

Islam, epitome' topic of offensive jokes.

SO offensive. I'm offended and I'm not even an Allah-botherer.

Popes peeens A bit like the damp squid on allah's head?

[Octavius]

Was this thread just a random opportunity to repost that same link from half an hour ago?

I was right about you weren't I. I always trust me instincts.

As a Catholic, no offense taken, and yes the Pope was a member if the Nazi youth.

No, that's a different link, they run a series:

This is the series, lifted from Channel 4 it looks like.

You're catholic? That's a bit out there, isn't it?

[-gem-]

lol @ abstract, I liked that one.

[Octavius]

What you mean, sexual predators are not entitled to change or be changed?

Quite frankly I would hope that they were.

[-gem-]

I don't think it meant anything being a member of the nazi youth to him though did it. I mean, everyone there was at the time? Apart from jews obv. Didn't he do something against the nazis afterwards?

[Octavius]

Oh now you are not just being as predictable as I..... predicted earlier on, now you are using my lines!!

Are you legend?!

[abstract]

octavius,im saying that some one that raped a kid is not your average football hooligan/burglar etc........that you can look at them years later and think ok,well he was a bit of a violent guy when he was younger,or he was broke ect..and now he's a family man now he's changed............. personally to have that level of sickness,tells me that your brain is beyond repair and personally i would'nt let my kids have a sleepover at their house! would you?

[Abdulmajid]

After watching Jerry Springer on the family tree programme, ALL Nazi's were responsible not just Adolf and Hess etc.

[Octavius]

abstract, thats exactly my point. The preference is that they changed. Hopefully their attraction/ desire/abhorrent behaviour/ psychological impairment - whatever it is - can be changed.

By you saying they are not entitled to 'change' then they would effectively remain that hideous beast that they already are. And I am not referring to namby pamby molly coddling either.

[abstract]

i get you now!
