Bachman received Jeebus at 16

Is that legal in Minnesota?

It's hard to beat the sex appeal of omnipotence.

Why is it a good idea to make fun of a person's religious beliefs?

I've been wondering the same for some time now. It seems that in the past year or so, it's become fair game here like never before. Beats me.

Maybe it's because so many of these candidates have starting pushing their faith into the public eye. Rick Perry prays for rain. Bachman says god's trying to send us a message with earthquakes and hurricanes. They're easy targets.

It goes beyond the "easy targets." I have seen multiple insinuations that faith is somehow a fool's fantasy by multiple members here; those were not aimed solely at political candidates, either.

For the record, yes, I agree that Bachman/Perry/et al's references to faith go a bit over the top at times. They comes across as petty and pandering. I have a hard time condoning commensurate retaliatory behavior, however (that is to say, I think your original post is the definition of petty). So many of your posts are quite thoughtful and well-reasoned. This (the original, I mean) certainly isn't one of them.

For the record, my post was petty. I found the video hilarious. Forgive me for not putting a smiley after asking if it was legal. She and her ilk bring out the worst in me, and I'll no doubt do it again.
Also for the record, I'm not one who believes faith is a fool's errand or however you put it. I believe blind adherence to religious dogma very much IS however. Christian, Muslim, or The Church of Lloyd Bridges; anyone who believes their faith is superior to mine or anyone else's or is the only path to enlightenment is gonna be fair game in my book. Funny how those people often end up being Christian.

Its not all religious beliefs that are mocked.
No one makes fun of Chilcut. People disagree, but almost always, respectfully. I doubt that Jewish beliefs are mocked, at least I haven't seen it here on OD. Same for our atheistic believers; people disagree, but rarely mock them.
It seems only one religion is fair game for insulting and mocking, and that should not be a surprise.

I'll agree, for the most part, but let's not forget that some members have openly mocked Islam (how many "meet your 72 virgins" comments can one guy read?). And I've seen Kerry and others challenge other religions as well, to be fair. Challenging is one thing... it's the petty mocking that I find distasteful. All you can do is ask/hope for better behavior.

So you're agreeing that banning sharia law from US courts is equal to banning Islam as a religion?
Not sure that follows.
