I saw a car in the car park where I work that had a sticker in the back window clear for anyone to read who happens to be behind the car.
It read: 'Instead of being reborn why not just GROW UP!!'
Just like that, now I assume this isn't a particularly religious board considering the Jesus YMAC thread a couple of days ago, but this sticker just seems needlessly antagonistic and offensive. Maybe it's just because I believe we should all be treated with the same respect what ever our background and beliefs. But this sticker’s only purpose to belittle people with ones own narrow-minded views.
What do you think about this?

I have little respect for any of the monotheistic religions. At the same time people can believe what the fuck they like.
To some extent though if you want freedom to practice whatever religion you like, you should also accept others have the freedom to ridicule you for it!
*Gets off soapbox* ;D

I saw a sticker like that, and to be honest I found it kind of amusing. Just about any humour you come up with is going to be offensive to someone (take this Jasper Carrott quote as an example: "I did a sketch about dyslexics the other day - honestly, the letters you get!") - we just have to take things with a pinch of salt, unless we can honestly say we've never made a joke at someone else's expense. In truth, I tend to find 'born again' christians (or whichever other religious group) tend to be the most overly zealous, and so are often offensive to other people anyway ("Fags will burn in hell" etc) - not all, granted, but certainly the majority by my experience. On that level, the sticker raises a valid point! At the end of the day, if you can't take a mild joke like that at your own expense, you aren't gonna get far in life  |

It's a little childish, but there are worse car stickers, slogan t-shirts etc, etc, out there. Religion is a circular topic that people spend too much time on. The reality is that people argue back and forth on this topic, and people just tend to believe what they choose to believe and generally stick to it. The arguements don't really solve anything, they just highlight the diffence between people beliefs, and lead to people trying to points score off each other and create discord. That said people who have fish car stickers could be upsetting member of other faiths, and the same works in reverse. So the chances are you're always going to upset someone!!  |

Perhaps someone should produce some tongue-in-cheek stickers...
"My other sticker would've offended you" would be a start ;D
