Guest Dekker Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Jesus on the end of a cross. How is that appropriate or respecffful? If that was islamphobic this would be derided. I don't do he religious stuff on here but this sort of comment is offensive.I It isn't islamophobic though is it. There are different barometers for offence caused by different religions. I'm not going to go into it as it's another topic. It was a daft joke, nothing more. Sorry if anyone genuinely found it offensive. Well, I never said it was islamaphobic, I said if it was it would be derided. You made a religiously offensive remark that I personally found very offensive. Smart words don't don't excuse what I personally see as offensive. Link to post Share on other sites

Arskite 75 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I was raised Christian and I thought it was pretty funny... Offence is often the issue of the person taking it, not the person making the joke. Nothing is above humour and parody in my book. It's your choice to be offended. Geez this thread is getting desperate. :rolleyes: Link to post Share on other sites
Uwe 3,543 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Last time Jesus went up for a cross it didn't go to well for him Well, up to you Mods. So out of order What do you want us to do? Ban him? You've already stated that your not religious so I'm finding it hard what's offended you Anyways let's stay away from religious sensitive material like Dekker said its not clever Link to post Share on other sites
Aphex_Boro 1,425 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I was raised in a pretty Christian household and believe me I know where the boundaries are, that doesen't cross them (no pun intended). Link to post Share on other sites

Geez this thread is getting desperate. :rolleyes: Sorry, but no. I am not a prude, overly sensitive or the like. Nor do I take to being patronised. Just a bit of decency and respect. As you say this is a football thread - but I did not introduce the religiously offensive remarks. I can tell you that I believe that Christianiry deserves the same respect as Islam, but perhaps I'm old school Link to post Share on other sites
Red Rocket 244 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 One of Ali's most famous quotes is 'the greatest comeback since Lazarus' which is a reference to the bible. I was raised Catholic and didn't see a problem with it. I'm sure no harm was meant. Link to post Share on other sites
SmogDane 4,052 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Couldn't agree more... The offended one, chose to be... Welcome to 2016... Where no new signings (since forever) is making people tick, and everone is offended... this offends me! Link to post Share on other sites

Red Rocket 244 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 The problem is that the club has patched up a lot of leaks so it's hard to get good info. I don't think we're finished yet but I'd love to know what was going on behind the scenes. Link to post Share on other sites
