7 Things From Pop Culture That Apparently Piss Jesus Off

cracked.com — It's not that all Christians are crazy, it's just that the religion seems to give certain types of crazy people a chance to shine. These are the ones who can't worry about the homeless because they're too busy doing things like decoding secret gay propaganda in cartoons.

  • chadsmith729, on 09/18/2008, -3/+137So let me get this straight, if Harry potter was spotted sitting at a Starbucks sipping Coke while Spongebob nibbled on a creme filled chocolate Jesus arguing which one is better Dr. Who or Wacky Week the world would implode?
  • inactive, on 09/18/2008, -5/+101The reason fundies are pissed off at Harry Potter is because they fear that ignorant people are going to take some books too seriously.
  • inactive, on 09/18/2008, -0/+58Shhhh! You just ruined the joke!
  • why3th, on 09/18/2008, -8/+64This is why religion needs to follow it's own doctrine of tolerance and acceptance. Hoping religion dies off is just as intolerant. Peaceful coexistence is what is needed.
  • inactive, on 09/18/2008, -10/+57Like the way they do with the bibble?
  • TibetRock, on 09/18/2008, -2/+48You have to admit, that was a really well done chocolate Jesus.
  • bonk2k, on 09/18/2008, -4/+49I went to a Lutheran grade school and they tried to ban Harry Potter at one point. Apparently they thought if we were dumb enough to believe the school's ***** we were dumb enough to believe in flying wizards and magic spells.
  • 1King, on 09/18/2008, -8/+50I hate stories like this. I'm a Christian and non of these protest groups represent me. I really find it sad that people would use these groups to generalize what all Christians are like. Its just dumb journalism.
  • inactive, on 09/18/2008, -6/+37Getting pissed off does not sound like a divine concept, it sounds more like a human one to me... could people just be projecting their own irrational beliefs and hatreds onto an imaginary best friend in the sky?



    Makes you think....
  • Fhwqhgads, on 09/18/2008, -56/+85This is why religion needs to ***** off and die, and us free people need to stop tolerating their *****.
  • WriterSD, on 09/18/2008, -1/+31This is true. The article is hilarious, but I would hope people would know most of us don't think like that. Crazy people tend to be the loudest people, sadly enough. Sometimes they are also quite amusing. :-P
  • inactive, on 09/18/2008, -0/+27whoops
  • WoollyMittens, on 09/18/2008, -1/+27It distresses me that there are so many people who know God's will and have taken it upon themselves to rule in his stead.
  • hammerpants, on 09/18/2008, -5/+30Modern day Christians have very little, if anything at all, in common with Jesus.
  • Marcatto, on 09/18/2008, -6/+29There's only two things I hate in this world: intolerance towards others based on their beliefs, and religious people.
  • btschul, on 09/18/2008, -0/+23WOOOOOOOOOOSH
  • mywhitenoise, on 09/18/2008, -5/+27Didn't work for the Jedi's and the Sith.
  • mrnoodles, on 09/18/2008, -9/+31People with imaginary friends already scared me when I was in the kindergarten.
  • crownjewel, on 09/18/2008, -5/+26Some people are just wacked. Their religion has little if anything to do with it.
  • Shawn4168, on 09/18/2008, -0/+21It's satirical journalism. I'm a Christian too, and I wasn't offended by this article, because the author made it clear that these events don't represent ALL Christians. That having been said, I am pissed off that so many people invoke Jesus's name to try and make a big deal out of such small matters.
  • sloonark, on 09/18/2008, -4/+24Actually, modern day Christians have very little in common with the nutjobs this article is referring to. For every 100 million sensible, caring and normal Christians, there is one wacko who makes a bad name for everyone.
  • Shawn4168, on 09/18/2008, -5/+25Wow...way to stereotype billions of people based off of the actions of a few extremists. ANY way of life can be taken to unhealthy extremes, not just religion. I'd gladly point out extremist liberals, conservatives, environmentalists, atheists, homosexuals, blacks, whites, hispanics, americans, anti-americans, etc. if you'd like proof.
  • TheMidnight, on 09/18/2008, -4/+24and the Dutch.
  • AmyVernon, on 09/18/2008, -0/+19Precisely.
  • Endrian, on 09/18/2008, -1/+19As a Christian, I must admit that, yes, it was.

    Also, I would've eaten it.

    . . .

    It's not cannibalistic. It's communion.

    But with /chocolate./
  • Ingersoll23, on 09/18/2008, -2/+20The chocolate Jesus is brilliant.
  • CindyMindy, on 09/18/2008, -1/+17So you can drink the blood and eat the flesh of Jesus Christ in church, but you can't eat his chocolates? What kind of world is this?!
  • okpgreg, on 09/18/2008, -0/+16Great. My city finally is mentioned in an article, and it's because we burned a bunch of harry potter books.
  • OneLess, on 09/18/2008, -6/+21I wasn't literally a militant atheist before...but now that I've heard they're ***** with Dr. Who, I might just go full on Rambo.
  • inactive, on 09/18/2008, -2/+17dugg for the satanic Harry Potter
  • MaynardJK, on 09/18/2008, -2/+17Nicely played.
  • boydrew, on 09/18/2008, -0/+14I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ -Ghandi
  • Frodoholic, on 09/18/2008, -0/+14Dugg for "...in which Spongebob has the balls to try to teach children to be accepting of others. Now you know Jesus isn't going to stand for that *****."

    Although it is inaccurate to say that wizards resurrect the dead. Not Harry Potter canon :)
  • badastronaut, on 09/18/2008, -8/+21How is what they do different than you telling them their beliefs need to ***** off and die? You are simply the other side of the fence.
  • DreKor, on 09/18/2008, -3/+16Seriously, everybody just needs to calm down and have a beer or something. I'm a Christian too, if that really matters, and I thought that article was hilarious. I do agree that the knee jerk reaction to these articles is pretty unfair. I don't think all atheists are arrogant douche bags just because Richard Dawkins is.
  • JesusTeaseUs, on 09/18/2008, -0/+13I'm just a guy, you know? I don't know where all this slander comes from : (

    For instance, I read all the Harry Potter books...they weren't so bad.
  • inactive, on 09/18/2008, -1/+14Well... Yeah...
  • Fhwqhgads, on 09/18/2008, -0/+10That is brilliant!
  • c1rcasurv1ve, on 09/18/2008, -1/+11Hold on, let me grab my robe and wizard hat...
  • Manther, on 09/18/2008, -2/+12Yeah, just like black criminals out there give all black people a bad name, and the terrorists have given people from the middle east a bad name, and every hispanic or latino in the U.S. is an immigrant.....
    (/broad generalization ridiculousness)

    It's sensationalism, and unfortunately it's what sells.
  • HMMcKamikaze, on 09/18/2008, -0/+9Sacrilicious
  • apackofmonkeys, on 09/18/2008, -2/+11Oh, well I'm glad you know so much more about us than we do.
  • Frodoholic, on 09/18/2008, -1/+10It's hardly bashing when it's pointing out the outrageous concerns of some hard core Christians.
  • AngryAngryBrian, on 09/18/2008, -0/+9He was cream filled for your sins.
  • watcht, on 09/18/2008, -1/+10I meet jesus once, he's pretty chill about a lot of things, he's not big on crazy christians though.
  • inactive, on 09/18/2008, -2/+10I don't know much about the person but I know that RaptorJesus went extinct for our sins... praise him.
  • eigenweasel, on 09/18/2008, -0/+8Some dude that got kicked out of yeshiva for failing to cut his hair so he was all like "Well I never wanted to be a joo anyway, I'm gonna start my own party and you're not invited." But then the joos and the Romans teamed up and fixed him up for having a gay kiss in a public place and got him nailed on a cross.
    Except when they did he respawned *right next to them* and he was like "AHA bitches - weren't expecting that were you?" and everyone was like "OMG don't frag us, pls" and he was like "OK. But you got to build me churches first."
    And so a religion was born.
  • scy1192, on 09/18/2008, -0/+8I'm in
  • jakash, on 09/18/2008, -3/+11Totalfail in the comments:
    "I don't want to be "that nerd", I really don't but, the Doctor's regenerated nine times, and they've used some othe actors for specials and stuff...

    Also, the TARDIS is a Police call box, not a phone booth."
  • Tyorant, on 09/18/2008, -8/+16That will never happen, religion needs to go.
