Theocracies are bad, yes. Usually when one is critical of a religion, it's not for abstract reasons but for concrete harm done. Theocracy is a pretty obvious concrete harm.

I see you comment extensively on Islamophobia, but mock Christians by making Pontious Pilate jokes on Easter, because you know it's safe.

Islamophobia is bad. I don't see how reasonable Christians can object to jokes about Pontius Pilate (to use his proper name) since he was also bad.

You can spell his name correctly, unlike myself (bravo to you), but you have no idea of how Christians would react to your joke. You cater to your specific audience, and you know v little about Christians.

I'm not seeing why that would be relevant in this discussion. I know you were raised as a Sikh, but I don't bring that into the conversation.

It's relevant to know if you are objecting as a Christian or objecting on behalf of what you think Christians believe. Two separate things.

I'll make this easy for you. I'm not objecting on "behalf" of anything other than what I believe. Hope that is helpful to you

Well, I'd say you are the only Christian I know that objects to these jokes, so I'm going to keep making them.

Does that mean you'll make a similar joke on Id Al Fitr? No need to answer this question. It was rhetorical.

I would make a joke on Id Al Fitr if I knew what that is. You have to have some shared cultural context to make a joke.

No, you would never make a joke about Islam. Stop trying to bullshit me. There's a bunch of Muslims in Canada but you have no context on them? I thought you were multicultural up there.

so to be a comedian you need to do research into all the major religions? Sounds like a lot of work.
