The problem is that the joke is old and isn’t interesting. It’s like talking about weather and then claiming you’re Oscar Wilde.

Person: “Hey, aren’t religious people wacky?”

*Crickets*

I’m not apathetic about religious people because unfortunately they continue to occupy positions of authority in our society.

If religious people were actually dismissed in the way you describe I could understand your perspective. They are not mocked liked this thought and are very much taken seriously.

No need to pick on religious people in this case. There are plenty of people with various character flaws in positions of power / authority.

So you don’t know about:

  • Bill Maher
  • Bill Hicks
  • George Carlin
  • South Park
  • any comedy movie that involves a religious character
  • the Internet
Dude was talking about religion in government and your best rebuttal is people make fun of stuff on comedy shows?
Culture doesn’t affect government? That’s new to me.
Please tell me how south park poking fun at you, as they do with everyone, affects your ability to legislate. Last i checked the jokes haven’t stopped anyone from cramming their religion down our throats

Please tell me how south park poking fun at you,

Not me.

The royal you, are you just trying to be obtuse at this point? (Rhetorical question)
