Title: Small-minded Christians Upset by Jesus Joke... Post by AusGeoff on Apr 23rd, 2023 at 8:12am
When comedian, cabaret star and drag artist Reuben
Kaye made a joke on Channel 10's The Project in February, he didn't anticipate the level of backlash he was about to cop. It was a simple pun, in his trademark boundary- pushing style, about Jesus getting nailed to the cross, but it led to an apology from hosts Waleed Aly and Sarah Harris and 277 submissions to the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA). Comedian Reuben Kaye Upsets Wowsers. Kaye's joke? Quote:

I personally find that joke very offensive. It’s also inappropriate and incorrect.

Lucky he didn't joke about Mo find duplicate values online |

I'd have to disagree with this Lisa. It was actually very clever—as well as very funny and original. After all, the bloke is a stand up comedian, so any reasonable person would, or should, expect to hear some cutting-edge jokes. As to its historical accuracy, that's—for the purpose of the joke—immaterial, as there's in reality no evidence that a man called "Jesus" even existed in real life. (But that's a debate for another thread of its own.) Remember too that the entirety of the Christian bible is merely fantasy fiction. Would you be complaining if an acerbic joke was made about, say, Beowulf for example? Another fictional character? |

It's blasphemy and heresy. In the 1400s he would have been burnt at the stake. |

Yeah - that's what I was thinking. Jesus was a real man. Only have to see what Hitler the Prophet did to the Jews, to know that the Jews did something akin against a Man called Jesus long ago. To set the wheels of motion in regards to the Christian religion - there had to be an element of 'real' circumstance and person/people. ...just like Mohommed said "Kill my people (Christians)" to those who became Moslems in his name. |
Title: Re: Small-minded Christians Upset by Jesus Joke... Post by Jovial Monk on May 10th, 2023 at 6:56pm
There is no evidence that Jesus Christ actually existed. Likely based on the half-mad preachers of that time.

Spot on. No reasonable person actually believes Jesus - as described in the Bible - was a real person. That's as crazy as believing Harry Potter is a real person. The Bible is a great book - I love it. But it's just a (very good) work of fiction. And I think in the book it's widely accepted that the character was nailed up for three to six hours, not three days. |
Title: Re: Small-minded Christians Upset by Jesus Joke... Post by Xavier on May 10th, 2023 at 7:28pm
Idiots! ::) ::)
Circumstances in the past are what makes circumstances in the present and future what they are. Do you think millions today and thousands long ago would just 'die' for an imaginary circumstance? You both obviously have no clue to your own 'existence'. ;D ;D |
Title: Re: Small-minded Christians Upset by Jesus Joke... Post by Jovial Monk on May 10th, 2023 at 7:32pm
No, Jesus Christ is an invented figure, not a real one.

You're more imaginary than Jesus, that's for sure.

Absolutely. The Romans were meticulous record keepers for their era and yet no one has ever found any official record of anyone named Jesus's being crucified on the cross, nor any official record of any of his miracles. |

That census that forced Joseph and Mary to travel to Bethlehem to be counted in the census—there is no record of any such census!

Christianity has been around for millennia longer than you think. But there is no historian that can credibly find a record of an executed man being the central figure of a religion. |

Yep. You found it, too. I forgot the name of Horus, until I just did a bit of research. Christians tend to have a trait about claiming other things as their religion's work, including that of mythology from a time before the formation of Christianity. |
