Nazi Dog - Page 5

Essentially, yeah. I could hit you with 25 scriptures right now, but I'm not going to.

Look, no one likes a self righteous Christian, and some Christians are always looking for reasons to be offended. Jesus was cool man. He hung out in bars and with hookers. He wasn't easily offended and didn't pass judgement. You gotta mellow out man. It's impossible to sway someone's opinion when you're attacking them.

I know what I'm talking about. Hamma isn't out to get you, or shut down Christianity, and Buddy Christ pics aren't mocking Jesus. If you interpret them like that, then you've got some personal issues with vulnerability. Just mellow out man, no one wants things shoved in their face.

Thanks for taking this respectfully, a CERTAIN POSTER WHOSE NAME IS SYNONYMOUS WITH AN ARACHNID didn't.

Now I understand all you said. Hamma won't shut down Christianity, etc. However, I find the picture offensive.

I am not trying to evangelize you. I just want all of you to lay off the attacks.

That's all.

Now 'attacks' can be interpreted loosely, and here lies the root of the problem.

To some people, things are attacks. To some, they aren't. You just have to be a bit more cautious.

That picture is a little of offensive.

Robot · 2003-10-15, 08:57 PM

oh, geeze, come on, people, just laugh at the funny story about this nazi-crazed guy who made his dog do the hitler salute

This thread sucks now.

First off, Spider can stick it up his ass

Second, no one has to be cautious about anything. That's the thing about being offended. Everything offends someone. Being offended is a concious choice made by the person who's offended. That's the whole priciple behind turn the other cheek.

I'm the son, grandson (of 2), nephew (of two), and friend of dozens ministers. There's a good possibility I'll end up a missionary somewere in the distant future. I know what I'm talking about from experience, and I've seen almost every type of Christian out there, and I understand where they all come from.

Life will be a lot better if you just roll with the punches and pick your fights wisely.

I don't belive in the bold statement. Sorry. It's an idealogical difference, and irrepairable, too.

Let's get back to Nazi dogs, shall we?

Nazi dog was later killed by a special GI.

I'm reminded of the scene in Family guy where Brian is on a tour bus in Germany and makes a comment pertaining to WW2 and the german denies it feverently and completely flips out.

If I wasn't so lazy I'd go find a transcript. Meh, oh well.

Wow, ok just read the rest of the thread.

Aztec, I'm a christian. Buddy Christ is very amusing to me, because it represents satire, a type of humor I like. That, right there, deflates your argument about Buddy Chrust being offensive so christians. Is it offensive to some christians? Sure, probably the same fuckwads that were laughed at across the nation for trying to picket the very same movie that particular statue appears in. For being someone who is so obviously "above his peers" you seem to have a rather flimsly grasp of what satire is.

"Oh I understand it, it still pisses me off though!" That's nice, then please go find a claw hammer. Now strike yourself in the head with it until your brain becomes rearranged enough to allow for a sense of humor.

Now, had someone posted a pic of Jesus blowing his wad on the Virgin Mary while the apostles had a nice gang bang in the background I could see how you could be offended. But a statue from a satire about organized religion, specifically catholocism? Please

Gotta go with the lighten up crowd on this one.

I'm a christian (and almost never pick fights except in this thread

)

But it is as Nav said, pick your battles so you have firm ground to stand on. If you fight every little thing that is the least bit offensive you get worn down.

Actually I'm more offended by the word "Cunt" then I am by Buddy Christ.

SO breathe deep and ask yourself. What Would Walt Whitman Do... or WWWWD for short.
