There is a difference, IMHO, between having fun with and making fun of. We should be able to poke fun at ourselves and see the humor in our inevitable fallibility. If we can't, I think we're in really big trouble. I didn't see the original story that was cited as "mocking" Christ or Christians. Again, In My Humble Opinion. The story, if I am not mistaken, was mocking our elective process and contemporary values which (the story seems to state)would probably make it difficult for Jesus Himself to run for President of this here country.

I like and admire Christ and a whole lot of people who are Christians. Same goes for Buddha and Buddhists, and Mohammed and Muslims, and Abdul Baha and Bahais, and I'm sorry is I left anyone out but I hope you get the point. And all I would like to say to every person of faith, regardless of the direction in which that faith is turned, is please try to see the humor in the object of your beliefs from time to time. A rigid, unbending, untractable, humorless set of beliefs shatters much too easily under the stress that life in this world creates. I can't imagine that any of the iconic figures at the center of any religion would not be able to laugh at him or herself. I can't help but believe that God is laughing at us right now.

Finding humor in something does not necessarily mean disrespecting it. But that's just my opinion. And you know what a goose I am.
