    Self-victimizing today, are we? I suspect not many of us actually believe the "Christians are stupid! Boohoo!" thing, and that you get a little too iffy for it. But it's understandable, considering the anti-religious sentiments expressed in posts in that other thread. Oh, and I'm sure many of us continue to make fun of as many stereotypes as ever; some that are avoided (branded PC, I suppose) are understandably so based on the sensitiveness of their historical backgrounds, or simply of current issues -- past oppression, guilt complex, an attempt to challenge the relatively mainstream "you're gay, this is gay, I'm insulting your mom" or "talk funny Asians must be Muslims Arabs terrorists help" or a-thousand-other-causes, in which, if you wish, you can add "please stop making fun of the fundies" to the list.

    Were I gay, and you put up a stereotyping picture portraying all homosexuals as drag queens running around at the local pride parade having sex with multiple partners, some unknown, on a daily basis, and i took offense and called you on it, I strongly suspsect the two of you would offer an apology.

    I've never witnessed to any of you that didn't raise the topic first, never judged you by the rules I set for myself, I don't hold or support creationsim or any of the other usual things the secular crowd laughs at all Christians for.

    But yep, you guys keep telling yourselves how enlightened and sophisticated you are, and how thin skinned I am. I CAN take a joke and yes, those kids do look ridiculous. It's not the joke, it's the tone, and I'm done with this conversation.

    I don't see why they need armor when Jesus is:

    I find it hilarious that these images are supposed to be reassuring when really they have some bearded guy staring over your shoulder when you least expect it

    Argh!

    If I was the girl in the top pic, Jesus would be getting a taser to the face very shortly. Also, it looks like Jesus is hi-jacking the dude's truck.

    We should have a caption contest...

    Picture one... "Hey babe, you seem a little tense how about a nice rub on the shoulders."
    Picture two... "Alright, you make a left on Moreland and ask for a chick named Gina, she's a real toe curler. Don't forget to tell her the J-Dog sent ya"

    Joey was a "special" kid that use to eat his buggers in front of the class room for show and tell. With Jesus, those bugger eating days are over. Sure, last week Joey required 15 stitches on the top of his head and 2 days in a coma after a bowling ball he tried to juggle for the class landed squarely on his head, but with Jesus anythings possible...

    How come they have to be the English Flag? Why couldn't they look any different. Obviously aimed at the English Football fans or Episcopalians. Doesn't God say not to advertise your "Christian-ness"? Despite being Christian, I do not think this was a good idea and this thread has become hijacked. Damm hijackers!

    OK, call me a cynic regarding the pictures, but if he's here with us always, where's the ones of women in the shower with Jesus peaking over the top?

    I constantly have these [utterly pointless] conversations with my girlfriend who will glibly say that God is always with us. I then point out that the sick b*****d seems to be there when one hell of a lot of pain and suffering occurs but doesn't lift a finger. Similarly with these pictures - why not have Jesus pushing the finger of a man holding a gun, or tripping an old lady down the stairs?

    Lol, that kind of stuff is old news in Jesus-land.

    Even as a Christian, there is only so much corny-factor I can take.

    Anyone seen those Christian shirts with Jesus in Terminator glasses saying:
    "I'll be back"...

    What in the name of hell is that supposed to be ... PJ's complete with shield, hat and, uh, that cloth thingy hanging from the girl's hat?

    Where do you keep the shield while sleeping?

    Hm, come to think of it, it gives me an idea ... the Spawn of Satan PJs, it's a buyer's market out there ... I'll get on the design right away.

    The girl's PJ is supposed to be some princess gear most likely. Although I must question how much protection that would give. I mean it's supposed to represent the armour of God and still represents something that wouldn't gives more protection than a sweatshirt.

    It's also degrading against women:

    But then I'm probably reading into that comercial stuff to much.

    Those with you always pics are hillarous.
    We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?

    @DA:

    @Hannibal99: Not exclusively 'gangster' oriented 'big logo' clothing, but pretty much all designer and labelled clothes, especially sports brands. 90% of clothing seems to be overpriced crap knocked together in the far east, wheras designer labels are usually overpriced crap knocked together in the far east with a label and a much larger price tag.
