How? They both depict the death of Jesus, but that one was just an insult.

I was severely insulted that somebody claimed there is only one true religion.

They claimed that God knew there was only one true religion. If God exists, his would be the true religion, and he knows everything, so he would know that.

On the one hand, there is a difference between honestly expressing opinions which might happen to upset some people and, on the other, deliberately seeking to cause offence.

It looks as though Feldoon has chosen to do the latter, which is a pity.

God is big enough to look after himself, but in my view this reflects badly on Feldoon.

No it isn't.

So?

It also stated belief in Jesus is the only true religion.

And thus, for God to know something, he exists.

Which is against my religion.

Which is insulting.

I hope the one which offended me is deleted too.

I forced you to use the Internet?
At no point did you think "I'm being forced to go on this website!"?

Furthermore; if your god has a plan, he forced you to come on this website and be offended.

I think you'll find that there are rules and decency regarding this forum.

Could you link them then? Try as I could I failed to find them since joining up.

It contains bad language which the software of this forum usually tries to remove at the time of posting.

Why does this forum usually try to remove it? Because people are too easily offended by that which they subject themselves.

Why are they offended? Because they are taught to be offended by certain words.

What makes typing the whole different from typing the first and last words with asterisks inbetween? Nothing. You know full well what the word is either way.

Lastly; major appeal to tradition.

Quote:

Christians are victims of political correctness

Appeal to the majority.

I'm equally derogatory to all participating religions.

I really can't be bothered to give any of my time responding to anything of the above you have written.

What you did - in posting that picture to this thread - speaks for itself.

You have forced people (including me) already in this thread to look at a picture containing an offensive word set in a way on the picture to make it look as if the bad language were spoken by Jesus Christ and you posted this image after I (and others) had entered the thread.

I wasn't deliberately seeking to cause offense.

I was deliberately trying to get entertainment from the expense of others.

Same "crime" commiting to me.

Possibly.

Or possibly you're assuming too much.

No. You're just being presumptous.

No it didn't. Read my ******* post.

See? The F-Word is censored. Keep it off the forums.

It is not offensive. It was an inoffensive joke.And anyway, even if it was offensive, that does not give you reason to insult us back.

Claiming that God knows there is only one true religion is problematic.
It's objectively claiming that God exists, that only one true religion exists (and the user specified which one), and authoritative knowledge of this.
That's effectively saying "if you aren't Christian, your religion is false," which is an irresponsible, inflammatory, and unnecessary message.

And I'd love to see some proof that the Christian God would be all-knowing, and that by definition there must be no other true religions if Christianity is valid.

Contradiction. You've just done so.

That I posted a picture that I assumed would be taking in good humour although it had the chance to offend, as did the post I quoted?

APPEAL. TO. IGNORANCE.

You still subjected yourself to the image.

I still subjected myself to the post which offended me.

There is no call for complain.
