You should be offended!

I don't know if someone has already posted this or not, but it is offensive. It is a comic drawing of Sarah Palin "speaking in tongues" and God cursing and saying he can't understand her. How offensive!

don't know about offensive, but it plainly shows the liberal/left ignorance. prayers for the comic drawer, coals of convicting fire heaped - unto repentance and a place of salvation as necessary.

YOu should be offended....

Surprise surprise, non-believing liberal comic makes fun of God!!!?

not that offensive, just plain typical. this is the america we live in.......and thats their God given right. complaining will only help fuel the fire behind their motives......kind of like boycotting a harry potter movie only helps boost sales.

So, let's just buy more papers then...! It's all fair game... right? We Christians shouldn't say a word. :roll:

Don't mean to nit pick :P but I don't think it was God that the article was poking fun at. It was pentecostal's. :)

Well

Well, Brian, technically, since God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit are coequal in the Trinity, and what was ridiculed was the physical manifestation, the voice of the Holy Spirit speaking through a human, one could make the argument that it was God the Holy Spirit being ridiculed by a cartoonist who is apparently not personally acquainted with the Lord.

My local paper published a cartoon 21 years ago, I think it was Millard Fillmore but I can't be sure, mocking speaking in tongues. I wrote a mad-guy letter. They published it. They didn't retract or apologize. But, someone knew. One of the great things still about newspapers is that you can throw your .02 in and they let others see it. People do read that stuff.

Yes it is all fair game because we live in america. It is something called freedom of religion. I never said christians should just keep silent. If thats what you want to do so be it, you are the one who bothered to look at the thread yet commented that you were not going to bother looking at the comic.

I said complaining will only help fuel the fire.....which is my opinion. If you want to make a REAL difference, then by all means write your own article and submit or even better, draw up your own comic strip that illustrates how that comic made you feel. But complaining to a newspaper about the offensive comic (which only proves to the newspaper that the comic is getting popular, thus giving them more press, thus accomplishing what the writer wanted anyways) will only give the paper more incentive to post more offensive comics.

As much as I want to disagree with you I have to admit you are correct. I would write in and feel you should if you feel led to do so, but I feel it would do nothing except make more comics in the same manner. I do agree with your point.

If enough people write in and complain it could be a good thing to get some media to show the nasty part of the campaign and maybe someone will call them on it. I wonder why the same is not done about Obama his church was COGIC correct? they are pentecostal.
