I'm not so much making fun of the practice or beliefs (though this would be a reasonable place to do so), as I am making fun of the uniform.
I understand that for some, believing in an invisible man who sent himself to sacrifice himself to himself to save humanity from himself is comforting (why is beyond me). Most religions don't charge for services of this nature (Catholics charge for candles now, or so I'm told), and that is fine. So is goading those who take comfort in their stories and lectures to pay them. I'm okay with others deciding to believe in those stories, as long as they don't try to shit on those who don't like such nonsense.
But beliefs are a choice. I don't think it is fair or right to ridicule someone for something they can't change, like their skin color, or sexuality, or physical handicap, or country of origin. Ridiculing someone's ridiculous ideas is mean if one does so in an area they should be comfortable being themselves (like public streets, or their church, or work), but it is okay in a place they are expected not to go if they are bound to a silly code of ethics that has them deny themselves pornography. How much of the world should we reserve for these precious little sensitive believers? For centuries, the shoe was on the other foot, and Christians shoved it up the asses of those who didn't believe in their little fairytales, so why should I bend over backwards to make an argument room on a porn site free from LOGIC?
I should really have replied to this post because I forgot a couple of points.
Most Christians I know are not "bound to a silly code of ethics that has them deny themselves pornography". Just because the Pope says it doesn't mean everyone who identifies as a Christian or even a Catholic believes it.
Your question "How much of the world should we reserve for these precious little sensitive believers?" is blatantly misleading. There is nothing being reserved for them by simply holding your tongue and not insulting their deepest beliefs. You are not losing out on anything whatsoever in that situation. The history of the Catholic Church is irrelevant. Held grudges can be used to justify all kinds of actions.
I hold my tongue on the streets. I hold my tongue in every job I've ever had, even though I've been forced to listen to their bibble-babble bullshit insulting me at work at least a hundred thousand times.
"...Lord, we just gotta try to convince the queers that Jesus will save them from all their sin and make them right, like god intended them to be before their wicked ways turned them away from his word."
I held my tongue.
"...Then your cousin is going to hell. She should pray that god would forgive her sins, and accept the lord in her life- not that false god she's been worshiping, but the real god, the one who wants her to be straight and love a man and..."
I held my tongue.
"...All the ragheads will burn in hell sooner or later, so we should just nuke them to make it quicker, and then
take that fuckin' oil!"
I held my tongue.
Fuck the above morons, and fuck their retarded book. My cousin, the gay one, she still goes to church. She found a church that accepts homosexuals (why bother to listen to those stupid lies when you have a good excuse not to go?), but when she asked me to go, I didn't tell her how I feel about it.
She is literally one of my favorite three people on this planet, and I love her more than life. She believes. I don't think all Christians are stupid or mean or bad people. But the fact remains, their ideas are stupid. Not the people, but their notions on their invisible friend who loves them, but simultaneously wants them to fight a bunch of instincts in their nature which cause no harm to anyone, and follow some pointless rituals, all because the infallible God seems to need to fix all kinds of problems he supposedly also saw coming... the whole thing makes no sense, and when asked, I'll either politely tell the person their beliefs are lost on me, or say nothing.
But here, in a thread titled "The mindless anti-Christian meme thread" or 1408, the gloves are off, and the squishy logic that people bend themselves into pretzels to justify absurd fantasies like walking on water... well, they can take my criticism, or they can go somewhere else.
