why

Are religious people so freakin sensitive.

So today I was watching “The simpsons” and i heard this little joke.

man: “are you an Indian”
Apu: " By the many arms of Vishnu I swear that I am not"

Is that offensive to our hindu brothers?

I do not see any disrespectfulness going on there. At all. If you do, you need to be shot.

Re: why

All people are sensitive about things they hold close to them. Parents, spouses, professions, religious beliefs, choices in life all end up getting equated.

Re: why

hmmm i guess one would only know if the joke was about their own religion (or as SS said, something they hold dear)

Re: why

some people don't take things as seriously as others. christian people joke around about jesus and all that all the time. Muslims take things a bit more seriously, because they obviously don't want it to be some kind of a joke.

Re: why

No..trust us hindus..we won’t riot and kill other hindus in the process…we won’t declare a religius war or call Simpsons apostates..that is because we are cool…and simply better. :stuck_out_tongue:

Re: why

rakh kar maara hai danda :k: people do lose value of their religion (or others for that matter) once they joke about it every now and then. They do not care; they are very cool.

Re: why

Yea, exactly why we ruled your cool superior ass for a couple of centuries :stuck_out_tongue:

Bitter? Don’t be :stuck_out_tongue:

Re: why

Maybe so insan, however its the intent that counts too right? I mean if we can take a trillion jokes at our expence, then surely just saying “Vishnu” shouldnt get anybody in a twist.

Re: why

The funniest is people all riled up over my city/state is better than yours :rolleyes:
