PS: Muslims killing Christians over cartoon of Allah. Don’t support it. Don’t support Christians killing Muslims over oil either. Or Buddhists killing Buddhists over power. Or…you get the point. Did you have one?

did you guys hear about the muslims killing Christians in Nigeria over an alleged cartoon of allah?

The folsom last supper picture was kind of funny and jokingly playful.

Your post, on the other hand, was just nasty, mean, hateful and amazinly childish and immature (e.g. “San Fagcisco”, “Folsom Faggot Fair”, “Fagfest” )

You know we welcome your participation here, are thankful for your readership, and love your willingness to call out Naugle. But this post you’ve linked to… it’s upsetting.

It seems to me that many of the terms you use in that post, particularly describing the kind of people who might attend the Fulsom Street Fair, don’t seem to reflect my interpretation of Christian love.

Additionally, there is a massive difference between this fair poster and “tasteless nooses” from the Jena Six story. One is a direct threat of bodily harm / death, the other makes no threats at all.

I respect your right to be offended by the Fulsom Street Fair poster, even if I think you are overreacting. But really, the response by the right wing here is actually less understandable than the Muslim outrage over the cartoon depictions of Muhammad in Danish newspapers. This is a parody of a famous piece of Western art, and depictions of Jesus are not forbidden by Christianity. Depictions of Muhammad are, by definition, blasphemous in Islam, regardless of how they portray the Prophet. (I believe Muslims were wrong to protest that, BTW. I just understand why they did.)

As Joseph points out, there are many portrayals that many (including myself) would consider more insulting to Christians/Christianity than simply organizing a bunch of people in the same layout as the Last Supper - such as an image portraying Jesus gambling.

The outrage here is more about attacking gay people than it is protecting any kind of ’sanctity’ of the Last Supper image.

Here’s another example from PaddyPower - Ireland’s largest bookmaker:

This one actually shows JESUS PLAYING POKER!

note: “The Republic of Ireland is 86.8% Roman Catholic, and has one of the highest rates of regular and weekly church attendance in the Western World.”
