It's suppose to be tongue-in-cheek humour, but, yes, some people may find it quite offensive. It's a stereotypical view of some of the ethic groups.

I think it is a matter of pride . They want to say something and they are too ignorant to realize that they are being ridicule

I don't think they were offended...i think some were just ignorant to the lord. And those who spoke the work in your comments and still judged you are not true believers either. You know what the funny thing is....people who see that someone is spreading their believe  in the lord love to critisize becuase they are misserable and think it is fun to toy with others ...they have nothing better to do with their lives..let them though because we know better! may god have mercy one those poor souls! And find a way into their hearts becuase it's sad really even those who don't beleive he still loves them the same as the ones who do and what thanks does he get...

People make fun of others because they are not comfortable in their own skins. Inferiority of themselves stimulates the need to mock or put someone else down in order to feel superior.

That's a good question!  It may be because white people are trying to make up for our ancestors' mistakes and cruelties by standing by when our own race is ridiculed.  I think that reasoning is stupid, but oh well.\n\nI'm personally not offended when black comedians tell jokes about white people.  I know we do some pretty weird things, but it's not so obvious to us.  So when they point it out, I can laugh and say, "Yeah, I do that.", have a good chuckle out of it and feel flattered that they thought enough of my race to make a joke out of it.  I firmly believe that an inability to laugh at oneself shows intense insecurity.\n\nOf course, another reason why it may be acceptable for blacks to joke about whites but not the other way around is because white people are in the political majority at this time.  Most of the people in power are white Christian men.  Whenever someone is considered the majority, it's okay for other groups to joke about them.  Doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but there it is.

I often find myself wondering the same thing. \n\nI guess a lot of people take themselves too seriously.

Because people tend to get nasty and angry with things they do not them themselves understand or participate in. So they lash out to make themselves heard instead of just biting their tongue and not showing that they don't know. What was it grandma use to say, ohh yeah. People might think your a fool but open your mouth and then they will know for sure.

All decent people are offended.

SOME religious people get easily offended because they were convinced by their church that they have THE truth. So they cannot conceive that other people are saying something different.\n\nI think that sometimes people are offended because they realise that others are telling a truth that they are not capable of accepting yet. I'm glad these people get offended, because that means that in the near future, they might get free from the ties of religion.

It could be for a lot of reasons.  Rude or sarcastic people are everywhere.  Also some questions may appear offensive or attacking to others so they tend to answer back in the way they felt we are asked.  Since we are on the net posting and answering, whether or not the question is serious, we are bound to get all sorts of remarks.  Maybe in most cases it's not so much they felt you or someone else knew them...People may feel that they can be more rude on line because someone does not know them and they can be as much of a @# as they want without having to suffer any consequences such as a fight.

LOL. That's funny. Some of these people should relax a little. I mean where's your sense of humor.

It is really hard to tell the tone of people when they are asking questions.. As you see more and more of their postings you can tell when they are joking.. but at first sometimes people take sarcasm or irony for seriousness.

Why are some people so offensive about other peoples religion?

I had a question deleted that asked what people's favorite insults were.  Maybe I've lost all sense of appropriateness but it seemed innocent enough to me.  Maybe they got me cause I said a**.  Ewww.  There are a lot of babies out there.  Becoming offended these days is like an automatic win.  Oh, my god. Your offended?\nWell, we better hop to and fix everything so it is agreeble with you.  It's rubbish.  Lots of thin-skinned people out there. If you don't like the question go somewhere else. That's my take on it.

B/c people think that it is funny to watch things that degrade other people or that it's funny to laugh at another person's expense.  Sure, these people are willing to make an ass out of themself, but to me, the shit is not funny!!
