Have the "Everybody Hates Christ" video Banned from the Internet and TV.

I can take joke, but joking about a historical and religious figure's torture and murder takes it too far. Please sign this petition, so that we can forward it to the people at Adult Swim to have this video, entitled "Everybody Hates Christ", removed from Youtube and officially banned by Adult Swim. This video makes the suffering and death of Jesus look like a joke. This is a complete insult and act of indecency. The media has gone too far this time. This type of stuff should not be shown on pubic TV, nor on recognized websites like YouTube.

I am asking all those who have some sense of respect, not only for religion and the beliefs of a large group of people, but also a sense of respect for a historical figure's life and death. [If you argue that Jesus was not real just because of the Bible, read up on Flavis Josephus' Antiquities of the Jews (written around 93–94 A), Publius (or Gaius) Cornelius Tacitus' Annals (written ca. 116 AD), and the Tannaitic reference to the trial and death of Jesus (referred to as Sanhedrin 43a) at Passover in the Talmud. Even though the first two historians hated Jesus Christ and His followers, they still mention Him in their historical texts.]
They did this to Mohammad, and now they are doing it to Jesus in a far worse manner. All Christians need not hesitate in voicing their beliefs. Let us make this peaceful protest against this out right insult to our Lord Jesus Christ.
I also ask our non-Christian brothers and sisters to please join in supporting us in this effort, as it is also an effort to ensure that nobody pokes fun at a real person's torture and torment, for if they make fun of the suffering of great historical leaders, they will also make fun at the death of other innocents.
"Remember the words I spoke to you: 'No servant is greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also." [John 15:20]
This quote is the wisdom of Jesus Christ. Although those who would persecute Christ and his followers only prove him right, this is not something we should allow young people to see, as it can desensitize them to the suffering of others.

Here is the problem.... People like this Pep character, amongst other naysayers, try to rationalize the existence of God. Well, do you realize that science has discovered things so intricate in nature and space that it has turned a corner on atheism. The scientists are actually beginning to acknowledge the existence of a creator! What is faith? hope? love? soul? spirit? Why does fruit grow on a tree? The tree doesn't eat it, so why does it grow?

Here is the problem.... People like this Pep character, amongst other naysayers, try to rationalize the existence of God. Well, do you realize that science has discovered things so intricate in nature and space that it has turned a corner on atheism. The scientists are actually beginning to acknowledge the existence of a creator! What is faith? hope? love? soul? spirit? Why does fruit grow on a tree? The tree doesn't eat it, so why does it grow? The seeds need to be spread to continue the cycle of growth, but the tree doesn't travel. Is it possible that mammals and other land animals were intended to spread these seeds? There are many, many, many examples of things situations like this.

I love how I am being mentioned when I don't even reply to a thread.

I'm agnostic though, so your assumption of me trying to rationalize the in-existence of a god falls flat immediately.

Good Discussion

This is very insulting to me and my belief in our Lord Jesus Christ, those who are responsible are just cowards and haters of the truth... shame on them ..

Pep Cookiedoe

calm down appolio, its only a cartoon.

Dear Heavenly Father, I pray that you send conviction upon them and the desire to seek Your face. Please forgive them in their ignorance and send Your Holy Spirit to open their eyes and soften their heart's so that they may come to you and be saved!!!!!! In Jesus Name, Amen!!!!!!!!

This is not proper...and funny...everyone deserves respect in their religion...

Mocking God is no joke.

I was extending what she said to show that not only is talking in caps pointless and makes you look fucking stupid, but also does nothing whatsoever.

But Allâh raised him ['Iesa (jesus)] up (with his body and soul) unto Himself (and he is in the heavens). And Allâh is Ever All­Powerful, All­Wise. (An-Nisa 4:158) www.thenoblequran.com.

I'm not a fan of censorship. I am a fan of respect. Even when I disagree with someone I show them respect. That is why I signed this and that is all I'm asking. I would like the same respect shown to my beliefs that they expect for theirs.

You did the smart thing and just changed the channel instead of watching it through, getting offended and trying to get it banned. For that you are above most of the people here in my eyes, its actually surprising how many smart christians there are in this thread; my bias stems from another where i swear I was the only one who had any logic. It's been shut down now but yeah.

Its evil if it does not bother you then you do not love jesus, who can say they love someone and allow that loved one to be mocked. your evil if you like this and if this were about islams god you would all cry like liberals saying its wrong, you only hate jesus right... anyone who picks on one religion and not the other is evil. But you prove what jesus said they will hate me and hate you my people as well, so we Christians know we are hated because jesus lately has been mocked more then any other, when you say curse words with god or jesus in them how come allah damn it? does it not fit? because it proved jesus is real. it proves its jesus the world hates, if you read a bible you will see the devil satan used every way to turn this world against God of israel and Jesus.

It isn't just on adult swim. Ive seen this kind of thing in alot of stuff. Hope it gets banned and right along with other shows that does this kind of thing. Hope to see better stuff on television. I think it is a shame most people don't get to pick channels out that they want to watch without seeing someone getting hacked up, someone throwing there clothes off, or cussing like a salior. lol. Plus us having to pay for the crap like this that we don't want to watch. Its sad cause I will keep...

I have to turn the tv off and walk away. If they want more customers. THey need to let us pick channels we want and ones we don't want. That would make them have more customers.

Brandy, you do get to pick your channels, simply do not tune into the ones you disagree with. if people would learn to ignore things, there would be less arguing going on.
Don't like Christmas decorations, Don't look at them.
Don't like Gay people, don't talk to them.
Don't like stupid videos, don't watch them.
Easy,peasy,lemon squesy!
