religion is lies

The funny thing about Ireland is that people take it to be a Catholic country, however the Church of Ireland is actually of the Anglican tradition. Indeed the only Cathedral in Dublin is St Patrick's, which is Church of Ireland.

Don't tell me I'm talking pish this time Chalice, I couldn't take it again. If you have to, could you be a wee bit gentler this time.

Ah, but this is because Catholicism was largely suppressed throughout the years.

We can probably never get a proportional figure because Catholics were poorly educated, giving rise to the Christian Brothers, who beat me to fuck all through my schooldays, might I add. Catholicism was indeed an act of rebellion on many levels.

You c*nt.

LOL.

that was more than a bit gay imho considering it wasn't really an offensive depiction of mo. I got a friendly pm from barbarossa telling me about it, but atm its very tempting to start exploring boundaries. Could I have posted it if i'd pixellated mo's face, or put it in spoiler tags with a warning? Or is all criticism of mohammed banned as it potentially breaches rule 1 about offensive posts.

I didn't see that, I take it you have had a thread removed.

yeah I posted a cartoon from jesusandmo . net

Spoiler: Show

don't click if you are offended by depictions of mohammed/jesus or by people who can't draw

That's really funny and may I add difficult to be offended by, certainly for me. It's just a bit of clever satire and doesn't seem to be having a serious pop at anyone.

Is it offensive if I post something like this.

Have you heard The Roches singing Jesus Shaves?

If not, download it immediately. Brilliant. Written by a New York hippie guy called Paranoid Larry.

Here's the lyrics...

JESUS SHAVES

by paranoid larry

jesus shaves, joins corporate
america, get’s laid off, grows his
beard back, stays up late, sees a
tv commercial about being a welder,
makes a phone call. jesus shaves,
goes on an interview, does real well,
he’s got a way with people, two years
on he’s still an apprentice, but not for
long, it’s graduation. jesus shaves,
put’s his best suit on, get’s a certificate,
makes it official, now he’s a welder,
wears a big helmet, and twice a week now,
jesus shaves. blessed are the ones
who make peace, blessed are the ones
who scrape by, blessed are the ones
living holy lives and here’s to the rest
of us who try. jesus shaves on sunday
morning, decides to go fishing after
going to church, it’s wintertime, so he
walks on water, digs a whole in the ice
and fishes for perch. jesus shaves the
scales off the fishes, has a few fillets
and a couple of brewskies, thinks about
the girl, magdelena, in payroll, decides that
he’s gonna ask her out for dinner. jesus
shaves for work on monday, goes to the
office, gathers his courage, he’s still
not sure just how he’s gonna ask her,
walks over to her desk and sees a picture
of her boyfriend. blessed are the ones…
she says hello, how are you this morning?
he asks if she knows if it’ll snow or rain.
she notices him looking at the picture on
her desktop, she says it’s her cousin who’s
passed away. he say’s that’s great, she
looks at him funny, he says he didn’t mean
that, she says it’s okay, and then she smiles
and they both start laughing, and that’s
when he knows it’s his lucky day. jesus
shaves, smiling in the mirror, magdelena
is saying that they gotta hurry, they’ll be
late for work and the school bus is coming,
but their daughter likes watching as
jesus shaves. blessed are the ones

That cartoon was superb, ilw, btw.

I totally agree, however as we know any depiction of mohammed is apaprently offensive to muslims, regardless of whether it is flattering or ridiculous, satirical or inflammatory.

...As the Danes recently found out.

I'm assuming that was the basis of the complaint, pathetic as it may sound to us.

As far as I am concerned if you pixellated his face that'd be perfectly acceptable

Linking to the original cartoons are fine also

a family friend tried convincing us that any picture of mohammed is offensive, got pwned when my dad noticed his koran had a picture of mohammed on the cover

Could someone enlighten me.(no pun intended)

If you are not allowed to make an image or painting of Mohammed, how does anyone know what he looks like?

i think you are allowed drawings of him. though you're not supposed to worship people, so you're not supposed to have anyones likeness.
