That said, I do appreciate the historical significance of Christianity in our culture, and I agree there's a double standard with regard to insulting Christianity in pop culture. True, depicting Jesus isn't considered blasphemy as depicting Mohammed is in Islam, but it's hard not to notice that nowadays certain groups---whether religious or not---enjoy protection while others are a fair target. <br /><br />And I don't think that because Christianity looms so large in the US that it's okay to try and knock it down a few pegs. Religious tolerance ought to extend to everyone, not just to people who complain the most or who threaten others.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07149708954524602455noreply@blogger.com
