I am not going to yell at you or anything, but doing such things will totally make me lose respect for you.
The 1st Amendment may permit you to do such a thing, but that doesn't mean I must like it, just tolerate it, which I would do.

Gokua, howcome you're taking this offensivley if they explained it was not meant to be offensive in any way? I mean I see your point and all, but I think your taking it out of proportion...just a little...

Taking something out of proportion is wanting to nuke you all for even considering such a thing. I am merely stating my complaint and saying that I will lose respect for anyone associating themselves with it. That's all.

Through with what, exactly?
Making a graphic that says Raptor Jesus?
Is that such a crime?

Well, we all have different views. I'm 100% atheist, and if you want to find me offensive when I specifically said, "I'm not gonna post it here, because I don't wanna offend anyone."
I respect your beliefs, but at the same time, I have the right to poke fun at something among friends, especially those who find it humorous. In no way will I show you, tell you, or inform you any more of my Raptor Jesus jokes, but I've paid my dues by not going further with it here on the boards.
Lots of things people do in private aren't cool in other peoples' eyes.
That's why we don't masterbate in the Town Square, or pray to Allah in a Christian church.
I know that some people have intercourse with members of their same sex, and I don't agree with that. But I've never lost respect for someone because of it.

At least any fun that was going to be had in this thread is dead. And about time too. Boy do I lose respect for people trying to have innocent fun!

On the note of controversies, and how upset people get over them...can you believe Borat's getting sued?
Though I knew it would happen while I was watching the movie, I was laughing too hard to care.

My personal thoughts on this are that blasphemy against Jesus is any form of disrespect against him. Personally, I haven't a clue whether or not that would entail having a cartoon figure of Jesus giving a cheesy thumbs up and grin to churchgoers, or something along those lines, so I just don't bother with it.
That said, I remember the Jesus account, and I'm pretty sure I laughed.

Getting sued?! For what? Making fun of stereotypes?

Absolutely. I'm all for freedom of speech, but people lost their jobs and got tricked into doing things on air that they wouldn't normally do, or were lied to so the movie could do something they couldn't usually.
An example is a woman who was tricked into letting them go on the airwaves of a radio station, because they were posing as an advertisement firm, and got fired.
