You realize this is something we Catholics suffer on a regular basis. No one ever apologizes to us.

Yessir.
Am less on about personal slights then I am about noticing how religion gets denigrated along ideological lines. Kind of a pet peeve of mine tbh, the entire world seems to flow around the political access.
But it's infuriating because it's wrong. Many Christians and Catholics vote Democrat, yet get lumped in with the George W. Bushes. And all religions have their scandals or negative points, Judiasm, Islam, even Amish folk have their problems. Yet the side that claims equity and fairness are as spiteful and unfair as anyone when it comes to choosing targets.
If I don't want to follow the stupid rhetoric of Republicans, yet I don't want to bandwagon around whatever the Left is lynching that day, where does that leave me?
Challenge is overrated. The Legend of Zelda Windwaker is SO easy. It is also extremely fun.
I hear they added a "hard mode" in the (Now gone forever with the online store closure) Wii U version where hearts don't spawn at all, and enemies do like double or triple damage, to me that sounds tedious. Where's the fun in getting crushed?
That's the reason I gave up on Hollow Knight, in spite of all the positives like art direction, music, exploration, they simply went overboard on the hard as nails bosses. It's just like the South Park WoW episode where the super overleveled guy just takes over while everyone else goes poof, the hardcore players price out everyone else.

Try to leave enough room for Jesus on that cross after you're done nailing yourself.

The **** are you even talking about.
All religions deserve ridicule when they're dumb as ****.

See, this I can at least respect because it's consistent.
But that isn't how it usually plays out. Insult Islam and be labeled an Islamaphobe, insult Judiasm and you're an anti-semite, insult Christianity and you're guest on late night talk shows or producing movies or games or shows, or something. I mean South Park mocks both Santa AND you know who, but Comedy Central wouldn't let them show Muhammad?
And again an official from Ukraine just did something insulting to India, this is an every day kind of insult for us. India gets an apology, Christians or Catholics get branded pedo's (And again, I can point to Rabbi's molesting kids, and a cover-up, no one calls the ENTIRE religion pedo's)

Christianity doesn't get a pass just because some pussies won't say shit about Islam or Judaism. Yes, it's a double-standard, but the catholic church still has it coming.
Originally posted by -Pr-Let's keep in mind that of Americans, those who identify as Christian are, by far, the largest percentage. Estimates are between 50-60% of the American population. So the idea that American media is disproportionately anti-Christian (or that the news media we Americans are exposed to is disproportionately anti-Christian) fails to keep that into account.

Hindus represent less than 1% of the American population. Jews represent less than 2%. Muslims represent less than 2%. Exactly how much "anti-religious" media coverage are you even expecting for such disproportionately small percentages of the population?
It's like complaining about why there's so much negative pro-baseball coverage as opposed to pro-cricket coverage in American news media.

Flip that around. 1-2 or even 14% of the population, yet a disproportionately powerful lobby.
Russia used to be controlled by a mere 1%, non Russians largely. Representation does not necessarily equal power.
^ Flip what around? You cannot flip the proportions around. Look up the difference between converse, inverse and contrapositive, you nunce. That's not how math works. That's not how logic works.
Dis n1gga gonna spam ESPN next as to why there's so much baseball steroid coverage as opposed to cricket gambling coverage.
"Why ESPN hate on professional baseball players so much???? How about dem bad actors in the professional cricket scene??"

If Orthodox Jews are only 1% of the population, yet get special privileges in prisons that Christians don't get, I'd say that's a fair rebuttal to your assertion that it's only about numbers.
Jews do get privileges btw, this is right from the horses mouth. They get to celebrate passover with a full course dinner complete with macaroons. The Rabbi who claimed this said they get pampered because of their lobby, while other groups simply don't get that treatment.
But none of that even really touches my comolaint, which is that this large group of Christians is ignored in favor of a narrative about bible thumping Republicans. I mean, I don't see how you can even deny it, newsmen on CNN and such pressured hemmers and hewers who didn't want to blame all Christianity with "But think about how the Christians pushed that anti gay bill!", or some nonsense (Guess what, many Christians don't support that shite)
The American Left is all about tolerance as long as they're voting Democrats or not associated in any way with Republicans. Like I haven't been a loyal Democrat voter most of my life, as have my family and friends.
