Jesus fucking-Mary-doggy-style Christ

My standard is this: No depiction of anything is obscene. All depictions are innocent and harmless.

Larry David made Jesus cry, some Catholics baww'ing

In the latest episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm--"The Bare Midriff"--Larry David inadvertently causes a "miracle" to occur when a droplet of his urine accidentally splashes on a painting of Jesus1. Two Christian characters mistake Larry's urine droplet on the painting for a miraculous weeping Jesus. One of the Christian characters quits her job and plans to take the weeping Jesus painting on tour.

This "attack on Jesus" is causing some Christians to curb their enthusiasm for Larry David. Piss on them.

Religion as a drug: The injection of false comfort

Religious suffering is, at one and the same time, the expression of real suffering and a protest against real suffering. Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people.

The Simpsons arouses thin-skinned Catholic ire

"Treehouse of Horror XX" is the fourth episode of The Simpsons' twenty-first season. The episode aired on October 18, 2009. In the segment titled "Don't Have a Cow, Mankind," Bart is worshipped as the "chosen one" and people believe that cannibalizing Bart will save them from a virus.

Soldier: "Welcome, son. To survive, all we must do is eat your flesh."

Marge Simpson: "Hold it right there, Bub! What kind of civilized people eat the body and blood of their savior?"

Reverend Lovejoy: [Groans nervously]

Catholic League president Bill Donohue issued a press release responding to the segment as follows:

What kind of uncivilized people work at Fox? Last year, when they poked some gentle fun at the Apostle's Creed on the Halloween episode, we said nothing. That's because it didn't cross the line. This year is different: mocking the heart of any religion always crosses the line, and mocking the Eucharist does it for Catholics. They know this at Fox, which is precisely why they did it.
Bill Donohue, "THE SIMPSONS" CROSSES THE LINE

. . . there's nothing wrong with mocking the "heart of any religion," and Holy Communion is perfectly fair game. Let Catholics defend the practice of eating Jesus. The rest of us can call it what it is: absurd.

Silly superstitions will always be a magnet for mockery.
