My reaction to this is that people who are easily offended must have some insecurity. Where this insecurity is not justified, it reduces my respect.

- gort 17y agoTo be fair, religious affiliation seems unusually tightly bound to some people's sense of who they are. What's unclear to me is why certain religions have this worse than others, e.g. compare Muslim reaction to the Muhammad cartoons with Christian reaction to "Jerry Springer: The Opera".
- ErrantX 17y agoI suspect if Jerry Springer: The Opera hd been written by a group or country that certain sects of Christianity want dead then the response would be the same. It was groups of hardliners with their own agenda (aka not representing the religion) who, for the most part, provided the extreme reaction. The majority showed roughly the same response as to JS:TO.
