Thread Name: Songs that offend you
Subject: RE: Songs that offend you
I don't find ALL Jesus parodies offensive, but some of the more disgusting ones are offensive. And having someone sing me more than one-- like an all-evening Jesus-joke and Jesus-song fest-- it's offensive in that it's cumulative. Would you visit an African-American's house and sing coon songs all evening... just because somehow, being with that person, you were suddenly aware that you knew a whole lot of those songs? It's tiresome. When everyone you run into can't wait to tell you the newest dumb-pastor or weird-Jesus joke they just heard-- it's a bit much to take smiling when you're wearing clericals or you are with someone who is.
