Why is Jesus blasphemed but no other religion's figure is?

Why does no one ever say Buddha's name in vain?

Allah's?

Why is Muhammad never disrespected?

Muhammad?

I wonder about you guys sometimes. We live in a Christian society. All our moral stances come from a Protestant/Christian Point of view. 95% of Americans are Christian or were Christian at some point. Most people have no religious relationship with Buddhism, Islam or Hinduism. So why would they see Mis-speaking about Buddha or Muhammad as wrong or Blasphemy when they do not believe in them?

What the hell are you talking about? Did you forgot the 2006 cartoon controversy? There was a Nigerian student who was killed over an accusation of blasphemy recently.

Not to mention Sikhism has a culture against blasphemy

Exactly. There isn't a comparison. Jesus is mocked way more. South Park even went as far as covering his face. But Jesus gets all the smoke

You clearly don't watch the news it's been plenty of stories about Muhammad being disrespected and Muslims going ape shyt over the years.

You live in a majority Christian country where people of other faiths have little media attention. Of course, you'll notice Christian blasphemy more

One more time; this is a Christian country so miss speaking about Jesus is way more offensive than saying anything about any other religious figures. Many people here actually believe in Jesus. It’s Just That simple.

Christianity's gatekeepers decided long ago to prioritize the temporal over the spiritual. The thinking being: who cares what a man's criticisms are when you own their debt?


Of course now they control neither temporal nor spiritual, but they'll die on their hill lying to themselves otherwise. Ye olde dog-and-bone consequences.

Mainly because the majority of the planet is Christian.

 

[Formerly Black Trash]

American culture and its focus on $$$

 

[MischievousMonkey]

Lol you must have missed the controversies about folks drawing sexual caricatures of the muslim prophet

 

[Diunx]

Because he was a p*ssy.

 

[Low End Derrick]

Kendrick isn't mocking Jesus.

 

[Jesus Is Lord]

Because Jesus is the truth, the way, and the light. Same reason they killed Him.
