Why is PC to bash Christians and Jews?

No - I bash all religions. Same madness, slightly different symptoms. The difference between the pope and Ayatollah Khomeini is negligible.

Strange you haven't noticed. Atheist get bashed more.

This is shaping up to be an interesting thread...And no I hadn't noticed Athiests get bashed worse then believers. Why do you see that as the case

As an atheist from the age of three or so I have a good deal of experience. As soon as a declared atheist is elected president of the USA or acclaimed as a worthy leader in Saudi Arabia my opinion might be swayed. of course, getting an atheist into office as Pope would be a smashing concept. I might accept an atheist as chief rabbi in Israel as an alternative.

While the pedestrian may give flack to atheists, among intellectual circles (and hence associated with PC) it is much more acceptable, nay even in some cases a right of passage, to bash Christians (Jews are more rarely bashed on religious grounds I've noticed)

As you can readily see by my participation in this site I don't hang out in intellectual circles and have no idea what goes on there.

I don't know about Jews, but when it comes to Christians, it seems more PC because they don't seem to be a minoriy, rather influential, otherwise those who attack it, wouldn't care probably.

You could say that attacking christians may come from PC people or PC police or whatever, with a strong disagreement and reaction towards sociopolitical positions from conservative christianity mostly.

I hate everyone and everything.

Now that simplifies life tremendously.

Because it isn't PC to bash gays, blacks, asians, poles, swedes, women, or the intellectually challenged any more, and somebody has to provide the material for jokes.


How Many Christians Does It Take to Change a Light Bulb?

Baptists: At least 15 - One to change the light bulb, and three committees to approve the change and decide who brings the potato salad and fried chicken.

Charismatic: Only 1 - Hands are already in the air.

Episcopalians: 3 - One to call the electrician, one to mix the drinks, and one to talk about how much better the old one was.

Lutherans: None - Lutherans don’t believe in change.

Methodists: Undetermined - Whether your light is bright, dull, or completely out, you are loved. You can be a light bulb, turnip bulb, or tulip bulb. Bring a bulb of your choice to the Sunday lighting service and a covered dish to pass.

Mormons: 5 - One man to change the bulb, and four wives to tell him how to do it.

Nazarene: 6 - One woman to replace the bulb while five men review church lighting policy.

Pentecostal: 10 - One to change the bulb, and nine to pray against the spirit of darkness.

Presbyterians: None - Lights will go on and off at predestined times.

Roman Catholic: None - Candles only. (Of guaranteed origin of course.)

Unitarians: We choose not to make a statement either in favor of or against the need for a light bulb. However, if in your own journey you have found that light bulbs work for you, you are invited to write a poem or compose a modern dance about your light bulb for the next Sunday service, in which we will explore a number of light bulb traditions, including incandescent, fluorescent, 3-way, long-life and tinted, all of which are equally valid paths to luminescence.

Anglicans: CHANGE the lightbulb?!?! My grandmother dontated that lightbulb!

Amish: What’s a light bulb?

uhh, no. It requires an emergency meeting of the local Presbytery, with three hours of heated debate and 12 secret ballots...

The entire Presbytery? Why not just the illuminations sub-sub-committee of the electrical sub-committee of the building and grounds committee of the regular monthly session with a single referendum vote by the ... you're right ... it's easier to get it through the Presbytery.

My favorite concise introduction to Christianity is the jokes of this form: Xs don't recognize...

Atheists don't recognize God.
Catholics don't recognize reformationists.
Presbyterians don't recognize free will.
Jews don't recognize Christians.
Moslems don't recognize Jews.
Baptists don't recognize each other in the liquor store.

Because other groups have been oppressed so long, they think that "two wrongs make a right".
