A company selling adult goods has unveiled a "Baby Jesus Butplug" among other religiously oriented sexual novelties. What more can I say?

Web-based Divine Productions goes out of its way to promote products that clearly offend and mock Christianity and the Catholic Church. Through its website, the company is offering sex toys like a "baby Jesus b--- plug," a "jackhammer Jesus," and a "diving nun."

i'm a Christian. to hear stuff like that is so offending. it's just kinda sad to what length people will go to defame God and Jesus and Christianity.

I bet it doesn't sell any sex toys of people from other religions.

Typical, products like these have been out for over two years (my wife's business is sex toys.)

It either means these twits needed something else to whine about or, more likely, one of their ministers forgot to lock his office door during his "meditation" session.

Don't know if they're big sellers, we've never had an order for one and they're too cheezy for us to add to the sample stock.

Of course it is offensive, but blasphemy is not against the law. Nor should it be...

Jesus died for them too...

"Lead all souls into heaven, especially those most in need of your mercy."

Heh heh heh.

Funny stuff. If only the Christians would go on a rampage. T'would be even funnier.

You know, this stuff is no fun when you're all "turn the other cheek" and forgiving and stuff. Where's the anger? Where's the rage? Where are the death threats?

I know, right! The Muslims get their 5000 children calling for an execution... what about us?

You got your televangelists and their viewers. Including, but not limited to, whackos like Pat Robertson and Fred Phelps. Only difference between them and the Muslim fundies is that they go "God will strike you down/send you to hell/etc/etc" rather than shout it out on TV.

Although since they could go to jail for something like that in America, that could explain it.

I know, right! The Muslims get their 5000 children calling for an execution... what about us?
I'm sure someone will say "Oh, you are such a poopy head, I wish you would go away" to the man running on of the sex shops, and then we'll all get to here about t3h 3vil chr15714n5 threatening honest sex store owners.
People who are strong in their convictions don't need to institute legislation or protests against those people who violate them. It is only those weak of will and faith that feel the need to force others to play by their rules.

Yes, but many Christians go out of their way to distance themselves from the Pat Robertsons. And telling someone who may or maynot believe in Hell that trhey are eternally damned doesn't have quite the same weight as BURNING DOWN EMBASSIES.

Anyway about the toys, meh, what can we do? Voice a concern, not buy the prodeucts and hope they just go away.

Things like pornography and sex toys should be outlawed because they destroy society. I get really offended when I see those magazines in stores.

How do you feel when you see them in your room?

I get offended when I see people like you in stores. You should be outlawed.

Yes, of course! Let's all ban pornography! I mean the data and logic you've presented is just so flawless! Oh wait... you didn't present any data or logic. You just made an unfounded opinion. My bad.

Doesn't explain how he manages to support that talk show of his if people distance themselves from him. Has to be at least a sizeable chunk. Besides, if he shouted out "Someone go kill (insert random name) now!" Or "(Insert random name) must be executed at once!" on live TV in America, don't you get investigated and possibly go to jail?

It's that whole accountability thing and how far one can go before getting busted.

Well Robertson called for Chavez's death on television and I don't think anything happened to him.

There is a huge diference in saying "This gfuy should be dead" (not at all a Chiristian thing to say, but not illegal) and "Someone please kill this man".

That's the spirit!

Yes something did. He was voted off the religious broadcaster's board of directors.

First amendment allows one to petition the government. One could argue that he was just petitioning the government to assassinate Chavez.

You know, this stuff is no fun when you're all "turn the other cheek" and forgiving and stuff. Where's the anger? Where's the rage? Where are the death threats?
I think the christians burned themselves out on the death threats when that guy put the crucifix in urine and called it art.

I don't think one could argue that. Petitioning the government is a more complex procedure than asking for something on a television program.

Agreed. Look at the powerful western countries where pornography and sex toys are legal, compare to prudish third and second world countries like much of the Middle East.

Yup, seems pretty obvious to me that pornography and sex toys are destroying society.:rolleyes:

I have a theory that if everybody had a sex toy, nobody would want guns anymore. :p

society happens, things are going to happen in life you dont agree with, are you going to burn everything you dont agree with?

who cares, its a novelty item that some people use, i wont be using it, i wont be seeing it, so it doesnt really concern me

I don't think one could argue that. Petitioning the government is a more complex procedure than asking for something on a television program.
Just playing fundy's advocate here.

I have a theory that if everybody had a sex toy, nobody would want guns anymore. :p
Unless somebody made gun-shaped sex toys.

Hell, if everyone got laid on a regular basis there wouldn't be any wars.

Hell no. The Constituion is meant to preserve every man's right to be heard. That means as long as you get it out there, its protected (unless its adirect threat). It doesn't matter if its tons a beaurocratic paper work and fees (which actually excluded many people), a television program, or some guy in the park with a bull horn, the medium doesn't matter.

Heh heh heh.

Christians (at least those in the US) will not resort to violence against porn shops, NBC, Andres Serrano or any others who "offend" them because overall they are civilized, law-abiding, and generally better than Muslims. Not to mention more evolved.

You're confused. That's freedom of speech. We're talking about freedom to petition the government. He's welcome to ask his representatives to introduce legislation calling for Chavez's assassination. But asking on a television program is not the way to do that. He can call for his assassination on TV, but that's not freedom to petition the government.

But they will kill doctors and blow up clinics full of pregnant women and beat gay people to death.

As soon as they can get past me.

But they will kill doctors and blow up clinics full of pregnant women and beat gay people to death.
Yeap! In fact, I was about go do a little of that right now...

Honestly, are you that dumb? The people who do that are radicals, just like the people who flew planes into the twin towers. They DO NOT represent their religons. They are disgraceful and vile examples of people taking a respectable belief and twisting it into something it was never ment to be.

But they will kill doctors and blow up clinics full of pregnant women and beat gay people to death.

ROFLMAO

I was waiting for someone to come up with that lame-ass argument.

Christians OVERWHELMINGLY oppose, denounce and repudiate the microscopic percentage of self-described Christians who "kill doctors." Christians overwhelmingly, and correctly, characterize such acts as not only un-Christian, but anti-Christian. As for "blowing up clinics full of pregnant women," I challenge you to name a single instance of such an outrage on the part of any Christian(s). Or did you somehow confuse "Christian" with "Muslim terrorist"? And as for "beating gay people to death," again such acts are opposed, denounced and repudiated by the vast majority of Christians, including those who oppose sexual deviance on moral grounds.

In contrast, the whole world knows what savagery Muslims regularly engage in, with the APPROVAL of their mullahs, imams and "spiritual advisors." FYI: Islamic parties in Indonesia are presently trying to ban homosexual behavior (along with bikinis and other "indecencies"). When the beatings of gays to death begin there, I'm sure you'll be the first to protest.

The point stands. 99.9999% of Christians would not THINK of engaging in violence over this issue. The same cannot be said for minions of the so-called Prophet.

99.9999999% of muslims denounce the attacks performed in the name of their religion too. It's not their fault if you ignore their outrage.

I'm smart enough to be able to recognize when someone makes an intentionally provocative post with the intent of exposing the weaknesses in anothers argument, and I'm smart enough to be able to tell when someone doesn't actually hold the views they're posting about.

I love the smell of religious ignorance in the morning.

Let's just skip over that chapter where hundreds of thousands of people were killed for being a witch, approved of by the friggin Pope. And the part where any scientist to even question the religious validity of the bible was either killed or exiled. As a matter of fact let's forget that the time Christianity was strongest in Europe was also called the Dark Ages.

They are intertwined. We get Freedom to Petition from Freedom of Speech. A petition is a request.

I found this from the article interesting.

"When our beliefs are ridiculed," says Falwell, "Christians are admonished in the Bible to pray for our enemies instead of burning building and killing people."

Jerry Falwell, moderate. Never thought I'd see the day...

Nonwithstanding, calling for the assassination of someone on a television program is not the same thing as petitioning the government to authorize the assassination of someone.

Well, calling for assassination in general is illegal. Again, the medium isn't important, just the message.

However, the dope said it in just the right way that he didn't technically call for an assassination.

Things like pornography and sex toys should be outlawed because they destroy society. I get really offended when I see those magazines in stores.
I agree. It really is disgusting. I was looking through this hustler the other day and I couldn't believe what I saw. This woman was completely spread eagle and you could see every nook and cranny. Also, there was this penthouse that I was looking through and there were women completely naked in all kinds of revealing poses. I was so upset. Then there was this video tape I watched the other day and there were people having sex in it. I couldn't believe my eyes. I must have watched it 30 times over and over because I could not believe it. I was so stunned I went and bought about 100 of those tapes. Each one was different, but they all had teh same, disgusting images. I have been doing nothing but watching these tapes over and over now for a week. I might be going to buy some new, disgusting tapes later tonight if I get off work early enough. :mad:

Believe it or not those same horrible images are all over the internet! I can't tell you how many hours I've spent carefully examining them. I wanted to make sure that they're real and not some figment of my imagination. Many of them involve depraved lesbian women with strap-on dildos. It's horrific. I can't tell you how many boxes of kleenex I've gone through weeping for those poor, exploited people.

I might be going to buy some new, disgusting tapes later tonight if I get off .... early enough.

Sorry, couldn't resist

lol.

No they don't. In polls conducted throughout the Muslim world the modern face of terrorism, Osama Bin Laden, routinely is touted as a hero. He was just recently shown in a poll in Saudi Arabia by 70% of respondents to be "The Best Leader In The World." That's a myth. A very large and highly represented population of Muslims absolutely support terrorism in the name of Allah.

It amazes me that PC apologists are so willing to bring up the unrefutable yet historical barbarity of the Chritian religion. Witch burnings, forced conversion under threat of pain or death. These things happened and a large percentage of the Christian population of the middle ages not only agreed, but participated in these acts. Human being are capable of mass mindset murder. Look at Nazi Germany. If its possible for that to happen then why is it so hard to admit that it is happening now in the Muslim world? People have become so sensitive to stereo typing outside their own cultural circle that, while its easy for them to point teh figure at Christians as a group because we live with Christianity every day, it is impossible for them to point the finger at Muslims as a group.

Fact: Osama Bin Laden and other terrorists are widely appreciated and supported in the Muslim world. Poll after poll in country after country shows it.

Fact: People like Fred Phelps are so frings that their supporters would probably not show up in an ordinary poll. This is a guy that pickets fallen soldiers funerals with signs saying god hates fags. You really think a bynch of Christians, especially right wing republican Christians, are going to be picketing the funerals of American soldiers?

So when are the Christians going to start burning down porn shops?

Tomorrow. I'm too tired today. =)

okay, so that's the stupidest thing I have ever heard........okay maybe not, but surely the dumbest thing today.

I won't be burning down any porn shops though, I figure if the world sucks this bad now, think how bad it would be if all the people who sit around masturbating and watching porn were out in the real world and I had to deal with them.....

I think in NA they would have said I was an enabler in that sense........:eek:

They are and you deal with them every single day. All the time. They are normal, hard working people who just live their lives like anyone else.

Christians seem too civilized to do that so you won't get your wish.

Not all Christians are civilized, and a small jaunt into history or into Africa will show this fact quite clearly.

I think it's more of a factor of the US being a Liberal Democracy, and a First World nation, than because Christians are civilized as opposed to those barbaric Muslism.

Ever considred the possibility that its the othe way around? maybe the US and Europe are first world liberal democracies because they went through the enlightenment and reformation. Whats the only first world nation in the Middle east? Isreal...

:rolleyes:

it was a joke.
Okay. :D

True. The enlightenment and the reformation did lay the seeds for Liberal Democracy. The thing is though, Christianity doesn't get a pat on the back for this one, because the Renaissance and the Enlightenment were in many ways rejections of traditional Christianity. The Reformation was an embrace of Christianity, but I say the Reformation still laid the seeds because the sectarian violence in such staggering numbers caused by this event caused the genesis of the idea of Freedom of Religion, which was also a rejection of the Christianities of the time, which wanted to destroy the other faction.

It'd be madness to suggest that those events didn't lead to Liberal thought in Europe, but you can't use that to suggest that Christianity was the civilizing force, because it wasn't.

You know, this stuff is no fun when you're all "turn the other cheek" and forgiving and stuff. Where's the anger? Where's the rage? Where are the death threats?

Call up Pat Robertson, and he'll get a tornado to hit the shop. :D

Of course not. Just the opposite, in fact. It was the period of scientific breakthroughs and the availability of published material to the masses made possible by the printing press that moderated Christianity. Once people became less rigidly religious and more individualistic they became more humanitarian. Now if we could just make the same thing happen in the Muslim world...

I think it can. What needs to happen though is it must come from the inside. It can't be American or European Liberal thought... it has to be Muslim Liberalism - a creature that is a direct product of forces in the Muslim world and as such specifically fitted for the people and situation.

I could see a massive sectarian civil war in Iraq as a point of genesis of such a thing. When a peoples see the effects of religious intolerance on a massive scale, there will be people who decide that religious freedom is better than religious strife.

I'm sorry, but that's fucking hilarious. Of course, I know a good number of people who would be a little freaked out using a Jesus buttplug...I mean...shoving Jesus up your ass?....


There are so many wrong directions I can take with that...

Well, after The Exorcist, my sensitivities are a might less tender. *nods*

Meh, if you seriously wish to be sacreligious, go do it. If it doesn't adversely affect anyone I don't much care. God will deal with you when you die as He sees fit.

I'll just think you're an idiot in the here and now.

Repent, repent , the end is nigh!!!

I always wanted to say that....
Not all Christians can be summed up in a brief internet post and neither can all Muslims.

As quickly as some Christians are to blame murders in the name of the Muslim faith I have two words for you: The Crusades .:headbang:

I get offended when I see people like you in stores. You should be outlawed.

I second that. :upyours:

Exactly. I wish more people undertsood that. The fact is that Christians got to kill thousands of people a few hundred years ago during the Crusades. Its only fair to allow Muslims the right to kill thousands of people now. :mad:

I have a theory that if everybody had a sex toy, nobody would want guns anymore. :p
That doesn't work, I'm pretty sure DK, or whatever his current nom de plume is, has both.

idon't know but they already banned lap dances in LA

But they will kill doctors and blow up clinics full of pregnant women and beat gay people to death.

But, don't you see? When some Christians do that we're supposed to believe that it isn't indicative of them all and that most Christians denounce such acts, while Muslims are blood thirsty savages who would like to eat your liver with a nice Chianti, and any single thing one Muslim does reflects on all of them.

Oh, and you know, they're just fags. It's not like they're people to Christians.

What an insulting post.

I assure you that this Christian fully condemns any person who acts in such a way in the name of Christianity. I also condemn any person who acts in a violent way in the name of Islam. I manage to do this while fully accepting that most Muslims are peaceful, ordinary people who wish in no way to be associated with violence.

No one is 'not a person' to me because I'm a Christian.

So when are the Christians going to start burning down porn shops?

When certain people get off their self-constructed humanistic moral high ground and stop being so arrogant towards Christianity, maybe?

This store, quite honestly, is the height of idiocy. Would you find it as amusing if someone made Steppin Fetchit vibrators, or made sex toys based on the Holocaust? (I'm assuming you're not a Klansman or other racist.) While it would be permissible by free speech to create such products, they would still be absolutely repugnant and demeaning. This store is obviously meant to attack a certain group of people, that being Christians, and they see nothing as over the line.

It doesn't matter if there's the freedom to do it, it's still stupid. Lucky for them that Christians are not quite as likely to act the same way as the Muslims did to the cartoons. (I don't recall any riots over the Cross-in-the-urine or Mary covered in feces.)

I wouldn't get upset over racist vibrators. I believe that sex toys are an acceptable venue for free speech.

I bet it doesn't sell any sex toys of people from other religions.
You would be wrong (http://www.divine-interventions.com/buddha.html).

Cheerfully withdrawn. :p

I would say that it remains unusual for attacks on other religions, while Christianity is seen as fair game.

Well, Christians and Muslims get the pissiest about it, and it's no fun to tease someone who just laughs at the joke with you, especially if you're the type who's doing it to get a rise out of someone. If fundamentalists didn't get such a stick up their asses about this kind of thing, most people would stop doing it.

Well, it's not like God and sex don't go together. It's during sex that God gets the loudest and um, most earnest people calling his name. :D
