This is disgusting. Larry David Blasted for 'Curb' Episode Where He Urinates on Jesus Painting - FOXNews.com

The time is coming when they will be doing that to us and not to paintings...and the world will laugh!

When an employee at my company peed in the general direction of another employee and it splattered, we had to treat it as an assault. I don't find this funny.

Legally speaking, it is an assault. If it splashed on the employee, it's battery as well.

Or on the Koran. That would be signing his own death warrant!

Are you offended by the joke or the application?


I'm sure i stand alone in this but i think the joke is funny,(how people immediately find the miracle in the mundane). But do think the application(i.e. urine on pic) is offensive.

Both. Mocking the religious beliefs of others is offensive, even if we think those beliefs are absurd.

I certainly hope you stand alone in that.

I often find the supposedly "mundane" to be miraculous, yet I still hope for people to be civilized and decent enough not to mock me for my beliefs.

I agree that the idea of a weeping painting is absurd. I still think it is wrong and, frankly, downright uncivilized to mock it in such a manner.

I'm personally offended by the portrayal of urinating on Christ. But I can put those personal feelings aside since many times my religion is held up for ridicule. Once I get past my personal feelings, I am still offended by this person's complete lack of a sense of right and wrong. I shouldn't be surprised, but I view this as another in a long line of how Hollywood has gotten completely out of touch with American values. I think this one is way over the top even for those scumbags. The bothersome thing to me is that people think this kind of garbage is even remotely funny. By showing this, they are not only offending Christians for urinating on a picture of Jesus, but they are also taking a direct shot at Catholics who pray to the supposed signs of faith. While many may find those things silly, to openly mock them is uncalled for.

How do you define American values?

When i think "American values"i think of the Constitution and the freedoms it protects. While we might disagree with this display we must accept that the same freedoms that allow someone mock another religion are the same freedoms that allow us to follow that religion.

I think we need to learn to take the good with the bad.
