Catholic Bishops slam Israeli TV show that Mocks Jesus and Mary
By Joshua Lapide
2/21/2009

 

JERUSALEM (AsiaNews) – The Assembly of Catholic Bishops in the Holy Land slammed the “repulsive attacks” on Jesus Christ and Our Lady on an Israeli TV show. For them the incident is a sign of the growing intolerance and hatred towards other faiths, best exemplified by a recent incident in which copies of the New Testament were publicly burnt in the yard of a synagogue in Or Yehuda.

 

In the TV show which ran at the start of the week Israeli humorist Yair Shlein said that since Christians “deny the Holocaust, then I want to deny Christianity” in order “to teach a lesson”.

In the show a speaker in a series of sarcastic punch lines said that Jesus died at 40 “because he was fat” and “could not have walked on water”in the Sea of Galilee and that Mary“was impregnated by a school friend”.

 

In their statement the bishops said that for years Christians have done “a lot to stop some manifestations of anti-Semitism and now Christians in Israel have to find themselves victimised by a low profile” form of Christophobia.

 

The prelates thanked the various Christian communities in the Holy Land as well as the Muslim community for their solidarity and urged Israeli authorities to take “the appropriate measures against such unacceptable offence and its perpetrators."

Quoting TheAenigma

This just confirms my opinion on all religions....

 

spot on!

 

If I weren´t convinced there´s nothing out there, I´d have a real problem finding a religion I could respect and follow. Out of the Big Three - Islam and Christianity promote values I do not agree with, Judaism as well plus you have to be born into it, right? Eastern religions have silly-looking gods and even weirder rituals. Paganism is fun but in my climate dancing around naked can result in pneumonia. Even Pastafarianism is a danger to my weight. Thank God I´m an atheist

 Do you speak from experience?

 

Anyway...agree with the rest, apart from Pastfarianism   Surely the point of these religions is faith, living your life without "sin" and that God/Allah is "good"....why then do they all just seem to breed hate and intolerance against other religions?
