Christianity Bashing: Told Ya' So!

[PoliticalChic]

1. "BBC director-general Mark Thompson, speaking in an interview for an Oxford University research program on free speech, has admitted that Christianity is treated with less sensitivity on air than other religions.

2. Thompson said that television programs do not have to be as sensitive with satire, jokes, or comments about Christianity ...

3. Thompson went on to differentiate that other religions closely "identify with ethnic minorities," and thus warrant special regard...


4. "The point is that for a Muslim, a depiction, particularly a comic or demeaning depiction, of the Prophet Mohammed might have the emotional force of a piece of grotesque child pornography," he said.

5. Thompson noted that insulting or disrespecting other religions could carry more emotional baggage and thus a backlash that is more volatile and violent.

6. He told Ash, "Without question, 'I complain in the strongest possible terms,' is different from, 'I complain in the strongest possible terms and I am loading my AK47 as I write."


7. Thompson said that he and the network "think quite carefully about whether something done, in quotes, in the name of freedom of expression, might to the Jew, or the Sikh, or the Hindu, or the Muslim who receives it, feel threatening, isolating and so forth."

8. The BBC director-general added that he believes "those are meaningful considerations"

9. BBC2 aired the controversial show "Jerry Springer: The Opera," which offended many Christians with things like depictions of Jesus in a diaper."
BBC Head Admits Network Treats Christianity With Less Sensitivity, Christian News


So, the exec gives really good reasons why it's OK to bash Christianity...
Spin…altering the truth without altering the facts.

So, think there is a degree of magnitude difference in network executives in the US?

 

[Montrovant]

I imagine there is a difference from network to network, let alone between the UK and the US. Many execs might not be willing to air a show like South Park, which seems to have no problem bashing any religion, but others obviously will.

I'd also point out that this could be seen as a backhanded compliment to Christians. It seems to be saying it's ok to bash Christians because they are much less likely to do something extreme in response.

Does it matter?

I'm waiting for the day where we don't worry about treating religion with any sensitivity.

Sorry. Doesn't wash. I'd say that the largest majority of 'ethnic minorities' in this country are Christian. Blacks certainly are more Christian than muslim in America. Hispanics are largely Catholic.

Basically, what they are doing is saying that islam is the mafia and we are scared shitless of them. Everyone from Larry Flynt to George Carlin has trashed the sacred beliefs of the majority of the people in this country. Christians were told to ' get over it.'

The Netherlands told muslims to get over it or get out. WTF is wrong in THIS country!

Because of text like this:

Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you (Luke 6:27-28).

Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse (Romans 12:14).

We work hard with our own hands. When we are cursed, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure it (1 Corinthians 4:12).

Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," says the Lord. On the contrary: "If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head." Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good (Romans 12:17-21).

Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing (1 Peter 3:9).

Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates his brother is still in the darkness. Whoever loves his brother lives in the light, and there is nothing in him to make him stumble (1 John 2:9-10).

Christians are not the mafia. The government doesn't fear them.

Hi Gallant,look its all the same world wide.....the Christian majority are always being undermined by smaller ethnic minorities as these minorities grow in size they demand and demean the majority of the country they have come to.......the annoying thing is that they left thier own country and don't assimilate into their new one............its Bullshit.

Trouble is if it was reversed WE'D BE LOCKED UP OR WORSE..........They don't understand or care about...WHEN IN ROME do as the Romans do(the majority of white British Christians in this instant)just saying steve

We are NOT the Netherlands nor wish to become them. I SAW the KKK march in my hometown, less than 15 years ago. It was about 90 out, they marched downtown. I bought two of the the law enforcement officers guarding them cold soda, said not one word.

We are an easy target,

So, you saw the KKK. BFD. Now, because of that, what we need to do is to let the 'violent backlash' from islam dictate how the Constititution is interpreted and administered in our country. WTF? I thought islam only had a small minority who are radical violent members. Now our courts are scared shitless of them! What happened all of a sudden to peaceful islam. You know, 'bu....bu....bu.... most of them are peaceful.' Or the the ones who are HERE must be peaceful because they are in American and want our freedoms. What happened to all that scattah?

Why can't you understand. ISLAM IS the goddamned KKK. They want everyone who doesn't bow to their hateful god, including you, dead.

You completely missed my point about the Netheralands. No surprise. You ARE a little slow on the uptake. They had the audacity to tell muslims that they have to live under the same laws as every one else there. If the don't like it don't come or get out. But here, after 50 years of Christian bashing and telling Christians to suck it up, it's what the Constitution says, the rules change to accommodate the 'violent backlash' from islam. Ahhhh...........peaceful islam. What a rancid bill of good people in this country have bought.

Write to your congressman much? Some say yes. Write to the SCOTUS ever? They are the ones who have crammed this shit down the throats of good people for half a century, and now they will be the ones to cram oh so peaceful islam down the throats of all of us. Every Christian in this country has been betrayed by their government and its judiciary.
