LONDON, England (Reuters) — A group of Christian protesters in Scotland has called on police to prosecute a theater company for blasphemy because it is putting on a play about a gay Jesus…
“Jesus Christ is being portrayed here as a foul-mouthed, drunken, promiscuous homosexual and that is an insult to my faith,” Green told BBC Radio.
…bwahahahahaha! If you can’t handle a stranger suggesting things about your omnipotent god, then something is seriously wrong with you. You have to love how the director responds to the “foul-mouthed, drunken promiscuous homosexual” line, though: “He is not portrayed as a drunken foulmouth.”
What about a play featuring an ax-murdering Buddha? Or a Mohammed who enjoys dressing pigs in high heels and dancing the rumba with them? Or a Darwin who sniffed paint on The Beagle? Would these plays even be allowed to be staged? (No, because of “tolerance.”) Would they be deemed hateful? (Yes, and rightly so.) When would their protesters begin marching? (Opening night.) Or bombing? (Sooner than later.) I think the director should thank the guy for the exposure, ponder his good fortune that he only has to worry about a lawsuit, be grateful that someone who lives out his or her Christian beliefs would not stoop to more, and quit feeling like he is being persecuted.
