I want a better reason for offending people than not being able to think of original material. I want to offend people on purpose, not through laziness
In a secular democracy you have the right to decide if and how you offend others...
As does everyone else

I do think you're missing the point. @snottyotter has it right.

If I wanted to make a Charlie Hebdo kind of point, that would be one thing. I'm not going to do it for the sake of a pun. There's a whole army of Kippers and Kate Hopkins types ready to use details of the religious beliefs of anybody they see as "other", so much so that it's tiresome even for the moderate or secular members of those communities/ethnicities. I'm not going to stand with that army just because it would require a little effort to walk further down the road.
