No, you just completely made that up. Actually, you flat out lied. Because I already said that I respect them for going after everyone equally.

If you can point out some part of this thread where I said I had a problem with them spoofing Judaism or Christianity, go right ahead. If not, you should apologize .

Nothing you say in this thread will have any merit until you admit that you are using flat-out lies to try and make your point. When you're ready to do that, and then try to participate in the thread again without doing that, maybe something you contribute will have some value.

Would you like to point out my lie? You make no sense.

As for your issue with them spoofing Judaism or Christianity (which itself is amusing considering you can't be following both religions, yet appear to emphasize on two of them as if they are both your own), you carry a grudge that is apparent. Apparent, because you didn't let it go but brought it up.

All I am saying is that Comedy Central (or whatever network) has responsibilities that go beyond the creators of the show. If the creators of South Park want to stand on principal, that is their perogative. They have come out and issued a statement defending the show and their right to say whatever they want. But, I would guess that there are dozens/hundreds of other people who work on South Park or Comedy Central, who may or may not want to take that stand. At the end of the day, Comedy Central has to make a decision as to what they believe is in the best interest of their network and all of their employees.

By the way, the guy WAS NOT the voice of the gecko, and he already admitted that what he did was "STUPID!" in exactly the way I just typed it.

Again, I said that I respect them for going after everyone equally. You are lying about my having an issue with them spoofing Judaism and Christianity. Just completely lying. My posts are right here for everyone to read, and I never said it, because it's not true. They go after everyone. I'm glad that they do.

Also, what world do you live in where a person can't enjoy both Judaism and Christianity? For the record, I enjoy both, not that I owe you an explanation. Just the same, I have no problem with South Park going right after these religions along with everything else in the world they address.

So really, you've got nothing to offer here.
