Thats almost as old as this one.
Jesus walked into an inn and handed the innkeeper three nails and said "can you put me up for the night?'
You noticed that says Political Humor above right?

Dude that's one joke I think goes too far especially when you worry about being sensitive to other religions. That's just blasphemous.

Not to me!
When people say atheists and liberals are the cause of the nation's ills, that's offensive to us, but you seem to have no problem blanketing us and insulting without any real debate or consideration of our beliefs, but if Jesus gets a light knock, oooooooh, that's bad. No fair!
Play it how you want it. Otherwise, it's just a coward's exercise wrapped in a flag and a cross. And I don't think you're a coward.

I have got some knockdown funny stuff that is absolutely blasphemous. I haven't shared any of it out of respect. That was my response to the religious item in a political forum.

Free speech doesn't guarantee it's funny speech because you say it is.

If he thinks it's funny, then it is, just like Gop thought that all dressed up line was funny. Here's another example; I was gonna post this from youtube but it might offend someone needlessly so I will give you the highlight.
George Carlin does this bit called Rape can be funny. *Imagine Porky Pig raping Elmer Fudd* Whether or not you find this funny, I find it hilarious and therefore it is. The sound effects alone would be priceless.

What's with you liberals and this whole idea that everything in life is relative to the person? If I think I have 10 cars and one of them is a ferrari. That doesn't make it so because I wish it to be, and boy do I wish it to be.

You thinking you have 10 cars when you don't makes you either crazy or dumb. Showing a preference for something makes it fit that label for you. This isn't about altering reality, just stating a preference.
If you like chocolate cake, it's good. If you don't, it's not good. You like summer, it's the best time of the year. If you hate summer, it's not. If something makes me laugh, it's funny. If the comedian is still alive, apparently they're not funny to you.

Because the creator endowed me with the inalienable right to pursue happiness. My happiness is not the same as anyone else's?
What is it with conservatives trying to make everyone thinks and act the same?

Some things aren't funny especially if they are about someone's death. Doesn't it say something about your mind set if you think someones death and suffering could ever be funny. We aren't talking about the stooges slapping each other around falling off a cliff and getting back up. Christ suffering was not funny. It's not really about my feelings. It's about you. I wouldn't dare mock the suffering of the Son of God. It's serious business. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Fear meaning respect, but I dare say to mock God should put some fear in your heart. I'm not trying to be a holy roller. This is just basic stuff.

Stop trying to save me Tim. Nobody real or imagined gave you that responsibility or right. I do not believe in God or mysticism and there is nothing you are going to do to change that.

Make that choice. If I can let my soul burn in a pit for eternity you shouldn't lose any sleep over it. We'll be friends but you will not be my saviour. Agreed?

I'm not going to save you that's for sure. I'm not even going to change your mind, but I'd be wrong if I didn't speak from my actual beliefs. Besides what fun would you have arguing with me if you couldn't even trust the fact I was telling you what I really believed?

Tim's right, friends should be truthful with each other and respect one another's beliefs. OTOH, if one feels that a friend is engaged in something self-destructive(Gambling, reckless driving, alcoholism or in this case atheism), then one could hardly call himself a true friend if he didn't at least try to help that person see the light.
And sadly, pakrat has a right to post sacreligious jokes(did I spell that right?), which is the unfortunate downside of the First Amendment. Free Speech is guaranteed to Hugh Hefner the same way it is to Franklin Graham(are those opposites polar enough for everyone?). Of course, Michael Moore continually flaunts the restrictions with his truth-twisting and propaganda-posing-as-documentaries. He should've saved the title 'Sicko' for his autobiography! 
Anyway, Captain & pakrat say that joke is funny, Tim & I say it isn't. Is there anyone else on the board who can cast a deciding vote?

When your friend isn't hurting anyone, including themselves, it is in no way destructive and you intruding trying to convinve them they are hurting someone just for your own selfish reasons, you're not being a friend.
I keep hearing 'all you liberals' so I will return the favor here.

All you evangelicals vote on things which have already been decided.
