would attack another person. Heck. Evangelists are calling for death to homosexuals. Abortion clinics have been bombed and a doctor was murdered. If someone stood in front of a right wing, hell and domination church, drawing extremely obsurd cartoons of Jesus I believe there would be violence on that someone in the name of God.

Post all the reprisal stories you find.

Should be thousands.

You know those Christians. They just start killing over any offensive depiction of Jesus.

Thousands. Yep.

You are ignoring the premise of the post and defending Christianity. Let someone try my suggestion and see what happens. You may be proven wrong. But maybe not. Of course people have been threatened for cartoons of Mohammad. The "Pissed Christ" guy was threatened. But not attacked. There are extremists everywhere. Let's also see what happens to the dude who does this tomorrow.

Assuming you are trying to have people be offensive to some fundamentalists, that is.

or even physically attacked. And the guy who created "Piss Christ" is still alive and well, with no fatwa on his head issued by the Pope or any other senior Christian.

He's been a semi-regular character on the show since its beginning in 1997 and, as far as I know, they've never gotten a single death threat for this. The same can't be said about the mere two episodes they did about Mohammad.

The transgressions are so great by these bigoted televangelist churches I never cease to be amazed at how many suckers there are and how their minds are made of moldable putty. Over and over we see preachers for profit and churches for profit (and amazingly tax free), yet there are enough lame DUH people that support them, well, and some are on the take too!
