Fury at Jesus the rabid homo

Some student play in Scotland is depicting Jesus as a tampant homosexual that swears and drinks and does drugs.

Story.

Line of the week has to go to the genetic defect that says:

"Jesus was sinless. He wasn't a homosexual. Homosexuality is a sin.

"It's a slur on Jesus Christ and these people will have to stand before God in judgement some day".

Anything that pisses these people off is a good thing :thumb:
Beep boop. I'm a bot.

    yeh i as non-believer should be allowed to have a laugh who they worship, and they should be able to laugh at me as say "your going to hell" which is equally as funny to me :lol:

    id love to see a play of this on another religion, and the reaction :p

    Jesus liked to hang around with prostitutes and all sorts of sinners and called them his friends (and according to many historians his own girlfriend was a lady of the evening). It is not unreasonable at all to think he liked to swing both ways.

    But at the end of the day it doesn't really matter if he did or not. How could anyone think that suggesting Jesus was gay constitutes blasphemy is fucking ludicrous.

    Sad thought #1: that evil old witch (now sadly departed) Mary Whitehouse managed to get someone prosecuted in the 1970s under blasphemy laws for suggesting Jesus was gay.

    Sad thought #2: even if the police dismiss the complaints as the rubbish they are, this play would probably not be allowed to happen at all under David Blunkett's new religious "hatred" proposed bill.

    More the reason to oppose the bullshit.

    I would rejoice at her death, but she's spawned thousands of evil Mini Morons.

    I despise these religious nutcases. The quotes from the other Christians, who say it was just a laugh and it was quite funny, and that jesus taught to turn the other cheek anway, shows what Christianity is all about.

    It is offensive, but everything is offensive to someone.

    ah but being gay inself isnt even a sin, its commiting a gay act thats the sin to most christians, thus jesus wasnt sinning since to my knowledge he didnt sleep around

    and so what if he was, he was a man like us apparantly anyway, but a good man who didnt sin

    and just cause he didnt judge other peoples sins, doesnt mean he partook in them :rolleyes: i hang out with stoners, i dont do weed

    Two issues here.

    1) the right to poke fun at any religion or anything you want and say what you want.

    Yeah agree that should be able to do that

    2) should you take the piss out of people's deeply held believes just because we're allowed freedom of speech

    Well it may be legal, but it just makes you look like a twat

    People hold deeply held beliefs that Jews should be exterminated.

    Do you think I would be a twat to ridicule the Nazis?

    it says in the article that:

    "I'm afraid that Jesus is not portrayed as a drunken, foul-mouthed messiah and if you read the play you would know that.

    "He doesn't say one bad word throughout the play."


    I think it is purely a sartircal take on christianity, and if people are going to be offended by it, they shouldn't go and see it (duh)

    hmmm, wont those new laws on racial and religeous "hatred" make this play illegal? better enjoy it while you can ;)

    I think you may find that the average person sees a slight difference between being a nazi and being a Christian. But I would defend your rights to say that you think that Jews should be put in gas Chambers - though I would think you were a twat and if you tried to entact your views I'd support you ending up either on a very short rope or with a very long jail sentence.

    I'm not particually religious - but don't see the point of offending a large part of society just because I can. I feel uncomfortable when people insult any religion (which is different from a saying they don't believe in it)

    Well these people aren't doing it just because they can, they are doing it for whatever artistic reasons etc etc.

    I don't think many people would agree with you about defending Nazis right to free speech that incites violence etc

    Some beliefs are stupid and wrong and the people that hold them should be told so, and others made aware of the fact.

    There si to much relativism around here it seems, don't people beleive in some things just being wrong plain and simple anymore?

    Strictly speaking the new laws on religion wouldn't make any difference to this play. blasphemy already covers Christianity. All the new laws will do is give a level playing field for other religions.

    personally I think the new law is crap and I'd get rid of blasphemy as well. But then i've no sympathy with those who dleiberately try and be controverisial, just because they want to shock and insult.

    Inciting violence is different from a believing something.

    I could say 'I belive that Jews are sub-human and should be killed' but that is totally different from saying 'Lets grab that Jews over there and stuff him in an oven'


    One is freedom of speech - no matter how reprehensible and one is incitement to murder.

    I recently read Mary Whitehouse's book "A most Dangerous Woman?" and am quite surprised at how my view of her and the work she did, has changed. Almost the whole of the media, including the BBC ridiculed and caricatured her as a meddling, bigoted old lady, motivated by prudery or even hate. Nothing could be more wrong. She was just defending ideas which were the norm here 50 years ago, but were being carried away by the permissive 60's, ideas still considered 'normal' in most parts of the world. In Mary Whitehouse's Britain men wouldn't get sucked into internet porn for hours every day, people's religious beliefs would be respected, there'd be no trash TV dulling kid's minds and coarsening their tastes, Dirty Desmond's Express wouldn't run adverts for his porn channels, and programme schedules on the TV page, in a supposed family paper.
    I'm with Spike Milligan, who's quoted on the back of the book, "I thank God for a woman like Mary - I support her work".

    Yeah, you've got to wonder why someone would want to write or put on a play like that. It is so obviously designed to provoke a reaction, and that seems to be its only role. *shrug*

    Yeah, that must be it. Mary was a lesbian with a turkey baster.

    Either that or the Holy Spirit had something to do with it. ;)

    She did marry Joseph, but at the time Jesus was conceived she was still a virgin, no suggestion at all that Mary was gay.

    Edited to add, she had other children with Joseph, as well and they were naturally conceived. (Only 1 messiah per household, while stocks last ;))

    People never think about that.

    "Oh yeah, I'm up the duff and we haven't had sex! God gave it to me!"

    The dreams that kept them together must have been bloody good.

    Oh, how I love the film Dogma.

    I believe in freedom of speech and I oppose the new laws coming out to make religious debate racist, but I think the way some people just HAVE to mock Christianity is pathetic and they need to get a life. Respect people's views. To atheists it might be fucking hilarious to see Jesus as a homosexual, and to hear comments from Christians like "homosexuality is a sin". But maybe it'd do some good to actually try to understand and respect others' religions. A mature debate between adults is fine, but to mock them like this is just plain rude and immature.
