but it is allowed to laugh at ones religion….
I mean why not, that is just positive

“Oh ye of little faith” as he says in the sketch “And now, from Nazareth, the amazing…”

“If God didn’t have a sense of humor, why would he make animals like toucans and giraffes? Really now. A bird with a beak that is larger than itself and a mammal with a great long neck. And Don’t even get me started on camels and their spitting habits.”

Just because I like to bash god/gods/goddesses those animals are the result of billions of years of evolution
the process is not perfect and never seemed to attempt perfection

Hooray!
I’m so glad that there are other atheists in the world.
Also, British humour (not humor) is the best!

Can you trust a god who has no sense of humor?

There is enough Islam in GB to joke about if one is game. He wouldn’t dare.

“The gutlessness of this sort of humour is seen in the complete absence of comedy against Mohammed and his followers.”

Not quite. Christian jokes have more currency in societies where that is the majority religion. If he were to make similarly nuanced jokes about Mohamed, hardly anyone one in the audience would get it because of their ignorance of the Islam.

I love Atkinsons comedy and think it on the whole better than a lot of his predecesors. But this is really cheap and easy. He must be scraping the barrel if this is all he can produce. This is why he sided with the Christians of Britain to oppose the hate speech legislation of the Labour govt. The gutlessness of this sort of humour is seen in the complete absence of comedy against Mohammed and his followers. Its so easy to mock Christianity because Christains are obliged to love their enemies (even if they don’t); most Islamists believe they are obliged to fight their enemies. That’s also why they are behind hate speech legislation (along with the gays) as it is an effective weapon in their arsenal.
