Now I lay me down to sleep.........that prayer scared the crap out of me as a little kid.

I think this entire thread should be shredded.
I can't make fun out of any religion, esspecially not Jesus.
You never know, when and actually to whom you pray.
But, almost everyone in thier lifetime will pray.
And, making fun out of it, just ain't right.
Because, one day, you might just need some prayers answered....
And, those will go unanswered for the disrepected.
check post #10The point of this thread is not to make fun of Jesus or Allah or Buddah or any of the countless gods that people worship. The point is that MFE decided that it was his duty to play religious monitor here on Brown Cafe so we gave him the thread on which to do so.
He has yet to respond.
(I thought my Animal House reference was pretty funny myself.)

Don't worry, the other mods picked up your slack (again)Obviously, I've missed something else......
Someone with a sense of humor...bravo. Now, what if I said, Allah saves, or Krishna saves, or whatever? The Christians wouldn't like it, the Muslims would want to get even, and the Krishnas would try and sell you a magic brownie.
The mods wouldn't allow my other post, which "quoted" Allah and mimicked the biblical passage at the bottom of
jesus_saves posting.
Why not? Because there is a double standard when it comes to Christianity. Perhaps it is the dominant religion in the US, but aren't we supposed to be equal opportunity for all religions?
My whole point was "why do born-agains have to wear it on their sleeve?", and if other religions try to do the same thing...it isn't OK. What if I went around signing every post on the BC with something to the effect that "Allah loves you" and quoted a passage from the Koran? I guarantee that a bunch of folks wouldn't like it and would say so.
The answer is "hypocrisy". I'm sorry if I hijacked the original thread, but I can't stand being "saved" or "blessed" when I don't want to be. Believe however you wish, but don't try to peddle your product where it doesn't belong.
