Religion has a big goal for comedians in the Edinburgh Festival in 2006 and in the world, in general, for a while 'time. If religious people are offended and even angered by jokes about their most sacred beliefs and those who worship them? Maybe not as often are.
The issue was recently in a BBC show Heaven and Earth is discussed. Canon Robin Gamble of Manchester Cathedral has suggested that large enough to take care of yourself is God. We should only be concerned if the aweak and defenseless are ridiculed.
Muslim Rules
Some religions such as Judaism, not in the grip of non-self too seriously. There is a story, for example, a man of 94 years, jew on his deathbed. Larry Jay Tish, a comedian jew, described what happened.
The Jew asked his rabbi to die to find a priest so that he could be converted to Christianity.
Muslim Rules
"You are a Jew, your whole life for 94 years. You're on your deathbed. And now you want to convert to Christianity.Why? "Asked the Rabbi.
"I think it is better, any of them would rather die than any of us!"
Please note that the priority of a comedian to get a laugh. You are not possible on the sensitivity of the persons concerned in their audiences.
Nor are they always try to evil. You just need a laugh, or do not survive as a comedian. You may also need to shock, to increase the size of their audience.
And 'now the penaltyunderstand exactly why comedians say or do things that seem outrageous at first sight.
A comedian at the festival dressed as a prisoner at Guantanamo Bay in an orange jumpsuit. He wore a crown of thorns. Many Christians would be offended, but the comic in question think laughter is sacred.
Laughter encourages you to mock the authorities and to think critically. He believes that this attitude is typical of the spirit of Christ.
In early 2006 CartoonsProphet Mohammed in Denmark have been running sparking angry protests and riots worldwide release. Read a manifesto of protest. "Slay those who insult Islam" But not all Muslims to show the anger of the kind.
Omar Marzouk is a Dane, a comic Muslim. He can see the humor of the situation, but does not intend to offend his brethren. However, he is not afraid to point out stupidity, wherever it occurs.
"It 'really hard for a European, Danish, Muslim, because I'm confusedon what to burn and to boycott! And 'difficult because of all the Muslim terrorists and now people hate me, because Danish too! "
Omar, to parents born in Copenhagen Egyptians, Muslims and the radical right in the same way violation. Some of his comments like the following, in which he refers to the London bombings could also offend the moderates:
"I think they should employ Muslims, to ride on trains and buses with explosive belts around the waist. Then we could alsoour contribution to the war against terrorism. Then, appear when a suicide bomber should be real, you might say:
"Listen, you go down colleagues. This is my bus! "
He also said something about the shooting of innocent Brazilian in London.
"There are some rules to follow when you look like me and live in England. For example, you can not run to catch a train or a bus. Go."
It may even offend many people and especially the relatives of the dead and wounded, but mostpublic are just happy to be able to laugh at such serious and frightening questions. Omar wants enough power to talk about problems.
Australian comedian Jim Jeffries argued that one can not be seen his shows, so if you are offended worried. His posters say, it is considered offensive. If you're worried, do not buy a ticket. A joking comment that he typically is as follows:
"Are you worried about suicide bombers in Scotland? NumberOf course not. Scotland seems to have been done! "
Some comedians get religion as a target, because I personally do not believe in God for their God is like jokes about jokes about Santa Claus.
Ed Byrne is convinced that religion is an easy topic for comedians, because everyone knows it.
He told his audience that he was an atheist when he was very young when the Christians saw the installation of a lightning rod of his local church - "WhatThey show a lot of faith! "
And do not believe that God exists if he could, so petty, like a comedian by cracking a joke on him angry. Other important things are happening in the world.
Stephen Green of 'Christian Voice' claims that if God is not only a private life is left to the Almighty Ruler of the universe, we must not take his name abused and should be of concern if we are doing. He feels that the comedians have no idea how deep hurtreligious people.
And, instead, is considered by some Christians that has been sent Hurricane Katrina to clean up the city of New Orleans and that God is his creation with "drunk all the precision molding of 7 years of ants destroy believe, believe offended" .
Canon Robin is up to how quickly Christians, offended by worry. He quoted the Bible: "Love is slow to take offense."
He is not worried about offensive comments about religion: "God is greatGuys, I need to work for him. I am shocked by how quickly Christians offended. We should be more tolerant. Life is brilliant. And 'the joy and share this joy. "
Stephen argues that not to offend anyone, just because they are great. They would not hesitate to make a great husband that his mother was a whore to tell. If God is so great, we should worry about insulting them.
Canon Robin, as usual, I disagree with Stephen Green. We should feel safe and comfortable inGod - God does not care if you laugh at yourself and your beliefs to reduce tensions.
In principle I agree with the views of Robin Canon. God is too big and life is too exciting, furious at attempts to use the comic to God or religion as the target of their jokes. Love should take offense to slow down.
Not done under the criminal world has a lot of good. Religious wars have killed millions of people. It 's time to try another way.
St. Paul is probablytalking primarily about human relationships, when he teaches that love slowly offense in his famous passage on love in his first letter to the Christians of Corinth.
A confident man will not have people making fun of him or her to be worried. He or she will have enough sense to realize that violations may result in damage to the comparison, which will result in no benefit.
As the Buddha said, is the angry man as a person with a piece of hot charcoal in his handlay on his opponent. And 'getting hurt as well as his opponents.
Trusting people are confident enough not to take insults personally. Understand that not everyone likes, but do not need much and anxious and angry about the insults of those who do not like them or envy.
A loving man will be good, even in people who offend them. These can be large enough to have to ignore the insults, see also their enemiestheir friends.
Politicians have not learned the art of responding to insults with anger. John Prescott, the deputy prime minister of Britain, is accused, as President Bush has a policy for peace in the Middle East, "cr **" The White House has responded very tolerant.:
"Being called names is part of the burden of leadership"
In summary we can say, religious people should not be too concerned about offensive comments about their religion. It is not necessary. Obviously they did not becomeangry enough to kill.
This love is big enough to defend itself and usually teach love and forgiveness rather than violence. Deaths have been pretty faithful to easily offended by the fact that others do not share their respect for their faith in God has been created to take.
All people should take offense to slow down. Love for the production of tolerance far better results and lasting anger.
If politicians, with the possibleException of John Prescott can stay cool so the rest of humanity!
Gervase Phinn, author of the well-known Roman Catholic who is in Northern Ireland, Protestant emphatically a piece of graffiti:
No Pope here!
Under a Roman-Catholic joke wrote with equal emphasis:
LUCKY old Pope!
- An answer much better than bombs and bigotry!
