I hold sincere beliefs that muppets created the world, and Fraggle is mocking those beliefs...

That's blasphemous, it is a well-known fact that Fraggles and Muppets are all descended from the originator of our species, the great Kermit.

I had a thread deleted from BBC for referring to Stevo as a muppet!!!

"Taking the p out of Muslims is OK, nothing racist about it - it's a religion, not a race. "

haha Thats brilliant. Islam is the religion muslims are the people!!!

yep, muslims are the people who follow the religion of Islam, no matter what country they're from or what colour their skin is.
Nothing to do with race, there are plenty of white muslims, just as there are plenty of black Christians.

I just wish more people would believe in the 'string' theorem about the universe creation. Then we wouldnt have all this 7 days nonesense. HC is entitled to his beliefs thats fine. But why should it be wrong for a christian to say 'you are going to hell if you dont believe 'God' didnt create the world'... whereas I could legitimately say the same thing such as 'you should go to hell because you dont recognise string theory (or big bang which is more common)'

I get offended when people overlook geology/science in favour of spirits. So if omeone had a username of Old Man of Coniston*... should I be offended by that? the same way 'God's username has been taken?






No.


*Old Man of Coniston is a hill/mountain

It is sad that a simple request to the moderators leads to such a load of ballony. "Let's kick the Christian." Firstly religion is a belief or faith. It is not followed blindly but by an acceptance of that faith to be true. You may follow Wigan and then change with little consiquence. Christianity is not a team to be followed as much as a way of life to be lived. You do not have to be sad to have faith. In fact a Christian has more to look forward to than the non-Christian. God is the centre of the Christian faith. As one poster put it there is more than one god being followed. Put the picture with the title and there can be no doubt what god he/she is refering to. It is therefore the reason for my complaint. Mock if you want but my complaint stands. I have the right to say if something offends. I have done so. What will come of it will be down to the poster and the moderators. Hopefully he/she will change their login name. Oh and finally Highland Convert comes from the fact that though I was born in the borders I lived in north scotland most of my life. The fact that I was also a union prop led to my handle, Convert is the moving of allegience from union to league. Nothing what so ever to do with religeon. HC

So its ok to ridicule them as a religion because they have varying skin colours allowing you to avoid the accusation of racism?

I think a lot of people are questioning ethics, not your religious beliefs.
