Not really, you're just making fun of one certain religion because you know they won't fight back. Like all bullies you enjoy picking on those who wont really fight back. Your sample proves that.
Now, if walked around wearing a T shirt making fun of Islam or another religion that actually tell their adherents to defend the honor with the sword, maybe you could make the claim. However I doubt it. Sure, on an anonymous internet board, you'll try and sound "brave" "edgy" etc. But "turn the other cheek" is not something taught in most religious beliefs so you won't make fun of them.
Your sample here show that really, you just enjoy making fun of one group, but it sure is fun to pretend you're talking about "all religions".
A bully who knowingly picks on those who won't fight back. cloaking themselves as some sort of edgy commentator who needs to "mock" others, quite sad and desperate.
And the Christian Right continues to whine about being 'persecuted' just because they aren't allowed to roll over anybody and everything.
If only we lived in a country where Christians were free to go to church, pray on the street, openly get married in their faith, and dominate the Sunday airwaves....

I thought the post was about the "right" to mock religion? There are lots of "religions". However, predicably, I see mocking of one belief, as is typical by those who use the code "religion". Makes them sound more equal opportunity shall we say. I doubt you specifically mock say Islam, wear a copy of the controversial Danish cartoons on a shirt or a bumper sticker on your car. No, I doubt that seriously because you would be fearful and it wouldn't score you the same points and high fives from your like minded friends.
You get points for cheap shots on one religious group, namely Christians, not all religions, which is why the attacks are made mostly against them.
No, not because I'm 'fearful'. It's because that stuff is dumb...I don't have a Darwin fish on my car either.
I tend not to wear labels of any kind. Okay, maybe Disney
I don't see a whole of Christians standing up for Islam's right not to be dissed in the media. I don't even see them coming out against anti-Semitism. It's only when their own particular ox is gored that they speak up.

Why should they? Are they to come to the defense of others? Is it their obligation?
Your post makes no sense unless you meant it to guilt Christians.

I doubt you know many Christians, but it is fun to stereotype isn't it.
I've seen huge outreach from the Christian community to the Muslim world, especially after disasters., if they follow their belief, they know that you'll do more to reach people through kindness and love, than through hate and fear.
As far as anti-Antisemitism, unlikely, one of the largest financial supporters of Israel are American Evangelicals. I'd advise you to do some research on that one.
I don't need to exercise the "right" to mock someone else. That isn't constructive and doesn't have any real lasting impact, its just raising yourself up by knocking down others.

Not really? Are you serious. That's some serious LOL there, pal.
Feel free to add your own samples. Most people don't really want a ton of YouTube links on one post.
You can bash the hell out of Muslims, too. And gays. In the same video.
Seriously. what a country.
Another thing the poster needs to know, many Christians look at those type of churches as weird. Sometimes they are an eyesore. Especially when people like you might assume we all do those silly dances. if you wake up with the desire to mock Christians, you need to get a life.
