For reals though, this wasn't intended as a Christianity bash. I don't do that shit on Dtoid. The joke was being ungrateful to Jesus and claiming his sacrifice just fucked things up for my one plan. If I'd have thought it'd seriously upset people, I'd not bothered.
Sure, it was tasteless, but I've said plenty of tasteless things without upsetting people. Just because this time it was about a religious day? C'mon.

lol @ shipero bbcode fail, also,
I got what you were trying to do. But there are certain areas where you can go as over the top as possible, and still not be terribly funny to most people. This is one of them.
I mean, if you posted a picture of the Prophet Mohammed with the caption "YOU FUCKING TWAT!" certain people would find that unfunny to the point of threatening your life. So just be grateful that the post office doesn't know a thing about Allah.
I'll just say this:
Not a day on Dtoid goes by without a rape joke.
The day I'm expected to believe Jesus is more tasteless than rape is the day I laugh until I'm sick into a sock.
Jim is so getting herpes.
I didn't know there were pictures of Mohammad...
PROTIP: Calling a major religious figure a "deranged fucking Galilean", cunt (vicariously through another character), stupid prick, and stupid idiot may be found offensive.
goddamn BBCode Fail...
I think the rape jokes are pretty juvenile, which is why they're usually made by the kids on this site, and not the editors. Since this is one of the most personal and meaningful days of the year to Christians, as they reflect on the death of their savior, it would be akin to wandering into a sexual assault ward and assuming everyone there would be fine with a little rape humor to lighten the mood.
@bhive01: I think you mean "photographs".
screw it.
The postal service should never have days off. Especially the UPS. I hate ordering shit on weekends, but that's when I get money. And if I order it on weekends it'll most likely ship the following Monday.
MM:
Okay, I'm sorry I called him a Galilean. That was fucking uncalled for.
Jesus is serious business. Also, thanks for the info MaxVest.
Woah. I didn't realize how hot this blog was.
!Arguments that involve religion--
Any discussion on this topic should end with everyone watching The Man From Earth and feeling a lot better.
I meant images in general. It's against the rules for Mohammad to be depicted in any way as far as I understand Islam (which is very little).
@Heretic: I don't think my comment is terribly offensive, because it implies that blaming the Jews is usually a cheap political gimmick that has no real substance to it.
It's also at least partly historically accurate, from what records we have. Due to the Passover celebration, the trial and crucifixion process appear to have been fast-tracked to avoid having corpses publicly displayed on a Sabbath.
"Is it in you?"
Yes it's bloody in him! He just called Jesus a fucking twat!!!
;)
bhive01: Gregorius Nekschot would probably have something to say about that.
!The Man From Earth++
Jesus = PWNED
Gregorius Nekschot is a complete and total idiot. I go a long way in offensive cartoons on any culture/country/religion, but his cartoons aren't even funny. Which is probably why they usually get posted on angry Dutch right-wing sites where people complain about foreigners and muslim youth hanging out on the street and stealing their cars.
@Heretic: I agree with your reasoning to a certain extent. I think the difference is that most people on dtoid aren't holocaust survivors, or rape victims, mentally handicapped (arguable) or dead babies. But a fair few do practice religions of one stripe or another.
People who are offended on someone else's behalf tend to remain silent, whether to avoid conflict or for other reasons. But if someone feels personally attacked, they'll tend to respond. For someone not to recognize this basic principle, and then go "Whuuuuut? It's true lol" in an indignant tone -- this will invoke the wrath of the internet.
The no-Muhammad images is an anti-idolatry thing... Recently there was a group of Muslims who got butthurt over url=http://www.informationweek.com/news/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=206106192]Wikipedia showing historical depictions of him[/url]. Which is kinda like a group of devout Jews bitching at me for having bacon at breakfast.
Holy fuck, if you don't like it just don't comment and ignore it. Send Jim a PM instead of having a flame war. I disagree with his views on this, but personally I could care less. Jim's just being an ass because he's Jim Sterling, and he can.
Ignore it. It's not so hard...
@Professor Pew: Stealing cars? I thought you all rode bicycles and wore wooden clogs. DAMN YOU STEREOTYPES FOR DECEIVING ME YET AGAIN!!!
How do you explain the second law of thermodynamics, Jim? How do you explain the law of biogenesis, Jim!? BRUSH AND FLOSS, JIM! WHERE HAS THAT FINGER BEEN, JIM!?
Jim, wouldn't you have gotten paid on Thursday instead of Friday this week since everything is closed on Friday? It's what happened with me, although I suppose it depends on how the job pays you.
And don't knock Jesus-themed holidays. It means a day off for some of us. :p
I love Jesus this I know, for the bible tells me so...
Jesus Christ, lighten up people.
@ Snaileb
HAHA, that was on Bioshock! The guy with hook hands said it!
Also, do any Catholics still avoid meat on Fridays in this age? I didn't think so.
This is also totally relevant --
Great, Atlus. Now the muslims are gonna jihad destructoid.
*facepalm*
People always spell my name wrong! ATLAS! NO U IS IN IT!
Also I am a devout Muslim who practices the seven holy spirit arts of Mecha-Bowser.
Why can't we just bash minority religions like Scientology so no one gets offended!?!
Ok AtlAs. We can't bash scientology, because then we'll get sued.
And mohammad had a wicked 'stache meng.
Scientology isn't a religion, it's a joke. Hence the meme ALL HAIL XENU!
I LOL'd
since Im not religious in anyway shape or form I find this stuff fucking priceless. I wonder, if I write an epic novel, will some people in the future will believe it as fact?....hmmmmm
If you write a new religion people will start believing it is true in a period of as short as twenty years.
Wha? Good Friday isn't a holiday over here. I just picked up the mail. What the hell is wrong with you people? BLAME ENGLAND.
Also, notice how I didn't say anything about Jesus. Did you notice that? That was planned.
Good Friday goes back a lot further than Christianity.
Plus, hot cross buns are shit.
Plus, why is it 'good', just because more shops are shut? Fuckers.
#Maxvest: we ride electric clogcycles from the future.
...*Facepalm at everyone*
Seriously, guys. Not cool.
Hot Cross Buns aren't that good, you lying whores.
Wait... theres a religion behind all those chocolate eggs?
Ok, nothing on the internet... back to tenis.
Did you mean to write penis or tennis? :D
"Okay, I'm sorry I called him a Galilean. That was fucking uncalled for."
That's all I wanted.
i gotta be honest. i think you took this one too far man.
