Do you agree when people use prophets for fun?

[fernandoaleixo]

Prophets are high valued people used by religions around the world, like Jesus, Mohammed, Bhuda, high respected personalities like Japanese Emperors, Ethiopian Emperors and other minor characters. Do you think it's right to mock Jesus the way people do? Or to use him as a character, souvenir or picture to be used anyway you want? Do you also think it's okay when people kill a lot because they felt offended seeing their prophet?

When someone was a pedophile and a warlord there should be no harm in stating the facts.

If people have issue with the facts it is not your problem it is their problem.

I think it is fine to be offended by something, but it is irrelevant. Being offended is a personal opinion and should have no bearing on how someone else acts. I guess there are lines of common decency, but even these are flexible. People use all aspects of life for fun, why should religion be any different? If you don't like/agree with something, you are more than welcome to ignore it and carry on with your own life. If someone feels that making fun of something is deserving of 'killing a lot', then they need to have a long hard look at their (twisted) interpretation of their faith.

well it doesnt matter actually,

in societies in which people laugh at prophets there is ususally a very small esoteric religious believing and secretive core that is the societies richest and ruling elite.

like the financial jews in the united states.

I don't care for their problem. I have my own problem that I should solve.
I don't have any business with those people who use phrophets for fun, they have their will to do things, and I'll do mine.
You know what's important? If you respect the prophets then show it by your action and don't mind those people. Everyone will face the consequences at the end times of  what we did.

[KobbyC]

If an individual believes in his or her prophet very much, I don't think they should be worried when people make fun of them. I personally believe in Jesus but I don't fight for Jesus, so why should I be worried If someone makes fun of him. People have a problem because of the bad things their prophets did. I don't think you should be worried about that.

[Serco]

About that I do not know, but the purpose of religion is to teach the truth not the evil, if anyone insults we should be grateful and not back insulting. As the prophet taught us about goodness, not insulting, not revenge and not even sinning but a lot of misunderstandings of religious teachings.I do not care about others insulting my religion, but I only have a principle to continue to do good to fellow human beings.

[Mojo2012]

In an open society it shoulbe be allowed/possible to mock any public person (even if fictional). If someone is offended, it's their problem.

There are borders though! And sometimes those are crossed. Then those persons should be made aware of that.

Btw the japanese and ethiopian emperors are not prophets. You are mixing up a few things here man.

Do you really think Jesus would be angry at you if you mock him. I think he would join you laughing about himself - like many other people too.

[Astargath]

I'm sure you have no problem mocking spiderman or any other fictional character, these are not different.

That's what I personally believe! But I have mixed feeling when I see people mocking Jesus too much and ignoring other prophets like Mohammed (normally because they are afraid) or they mock Catholics a lot when (in my country at least) they are extremely peaceful and tolerant people. I kinda wish they could take it easy and look for other religion faults too.

Though i am very religious, There have been an influx of prophets these days and most of them are fake because they take advantage of people who believe in them and enrich themselves. That's why there are a lot of super rich Men of God currently in the world these days.

[dammjoshconcept]

Yes I agree , some people will actually go to Prophet to ask what they know already. While some even say it to the face of the prophet that they are lieing. When a prophet tells someone what seems impossible to him/her. Such person tends to make jest of the prophet

[Mariksa]

No, it is not right to mock Jesus. He isn't just a character or someone famous. He is the One who came to our world to save all people. And it is not okay when people joke about this.

You have a Scripture that says jokes are not allowed?

I understand your feelings but religious logic does not apply in a discussion like that, if you say to unbelievers that they are going to hell when discussing religion, nobody will take you seriously anymore, because this is a truth for you, not them.

[Sidiq SP]

actually it is one of the things that I do not like, using souvenirs, attributes on behalf of the prophet is something that is not very true in my opinion, the prophet and other important people is not someone who made paintings, displays and more, let alone for harassment, and for the matter of murder even if it was for the defense of their prophet, I also disagree about this, because every human being has the right to live, and should not be arbitrarily to kill him

[boyptc]

You have a Scripture that says jokes are not allowed?

Galatians 6:7 King James Version (KJV)
7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

Mocking could be joking, or it could be insulting.

You'll have to do better than that.

In my opinion,is not the right way to mock Jesus, because its my savior and lord,,and i respect him all above even in other believer..and i don't like to used him for character or picture as like that,,,(because i must obey to her law exodus 20 -the ten comandments)although im not perfect ,,
-people has will and freely to choose, what they want to treat his/her prophet according to her desire, whether is good or bad,,,because she/he is only responsible to his sin according to her disobey act,when she /he face at her propfet and lord.
-Is not okey for me ,,because i know that each religion had teaches us about the beauty of morality to have a peaceful world,

Killing other people whatever the reason it is was never okay.  A lot of us felt offended in different ways but killing is not going to solve it but basically just creates a bigger problem. And it's 2018, prophets could only fool millions of people when things are still unexplainable.
