Oh the arrogance of mere mortals who believe gods depend on their protection. I’m sure they’d be laughing their asses off if they actually existed, assuming, of course, they’d waste time paying attention to totally insignificant gnats… LMFAO!!!

Hmm. I notice the cartoonist did not sign his or her name …

Good point PT. From the original article:
While I know very little about the Jewish, Hindu, and Buddhist faiths, I have no problem at all imagining a rampaging mob of “Christian Crusaders” out to deliver their own brand of “Divine Retribution.” 😕

yep, not signing their name is probably why they were not in fear for life upon leaving the building. i have never heard of the onion before. the idea of using different faiths gods in sexual drawings to me is beyond idiocy. also even pretending to joke about a childs death is just so not what a decent publication would allow.

Your outrage is noted Raven, although I have no idea what “joke about a childs death” you made reference to, and as ridiculous as being outraged over depictions of imaginary beings seems to me. I hope that you’ve saved some venom for those who would kill you and everyone you care about because you dared to express an opinion. After all, they are the targets of this mockery.

i clicked on a link in the article and it showed other articles at the top of the page(in a slide show of articles headings).i have no problem with people expressing opinions and i don’t understand religions or a peoples that would kill over an opinion.

Very little of what The Onion publishes is meant to be taken seriously. Actually, I think the whole point is that we should just lighten up and stop taking things so seriously. As one who suffers from clinical depression, I know better than most just how dangerous that can be.
The world will always have its share of lunatics. And there are always going to be those with whom we don’t agree. But killing each other over a difference of opinion? Really? What could possibly be more offensive that that?!?!

LOL. Sydney has just tear gassed a group of 500 angry Muslims protesting the US movie. Why the hell are they attacking us or the US ? It’s a friggin film made by some friggin nutter religious group. Get the hell over it. Ridiculous!!!!

This kind of imagery will always cause havoc
around the world, I guess the religious nature of
the cartoon inflames many, but then again it is
just a cartoon and not something that should in
any way make someone take the life of another…
Surely the killing of another is something that
none of us should be doing, no matter what our
religious beliefs are, this is universal for all…
Thou Shalt Not Kill…

And who would be to blame for that my friend? The creator of a tasteless piece of art? Or the mindless hoard and the “puppet masters” who urge them on? And what of the “messengers of peace” who stand mute rather than point out how much in violation of their own teachings that such actions represent?

IDK my friend maybe perhaps both parties I guess..

Really? Both parties? There are LOTS of people out there who’d be highly offended by the content of your blog. If they were to come after you and those who allow you to publish your blog, would you be willing to share the blame for the damage they do? Or perhaps you think sexualized depictions of real women are less offensive than depictions of cartoons?

It’s amazing isn’t it?
Even when faced with such top class satire as The Onion, some people still don’t get it.
The cartoon is pure class, pure onion and and anyone taking offence at is is full of pure BS.

I agree wholeheartedly my friend. But I can handle offended opinion. It’s outrageously offensive actions that piss me off!

I appreciate your civility. I’m offended 24/7 and yet this post is as far as I’d go to strike out against it.
