Tynan you were telling me that offense and hurt were not the same thing so I used race to illustrate that offensive words can indeed be hurtful however lets be clear as I did not draw any moral equivalence between racism and criticism of religious beliefs. I do not believe that religion should be above crictism but then I do not believe that the statement "Jesus is a cock" is legitimate criticism. Religious prejudice whatever which way you want to dress it up is still prejudice and historically has led crimes equally as henious as those justified on the basis of race. I wonder if your prejudice extends just towards Christians or does it extend to all religions?
