Perhaps Christianity only gets slated on a forum that is mainly UK based users, or ex-pats, that grew up in a country comprehensively covered with Christian symbols and influence. ie it's the main butt of jokes because of where the majority come from.The point I make is that is only christianity gets slated, as it is fair game apparently. Other religions are off limits. Just seems a bit lopsided to me.
Therefore it makes jokes more often to occur about Christianity, due the overwhelming prevalence of that religion to the posters, in their experiences and life.
Take any subject you have no knowledge or experience of, and it'll be hard to make a joke about it. I know zero jokes about the Incan religion for example, because I know diddly about Incan religion.
I've seen across multiple different social platforms, over many years, Christians complain about '(religious) jokes are only about us', it's bollox.
If anything it's just faux outrage, against the backdrop of living in an originally christian society that is progressive, tolerant and allows jokes about practically anything, even if it offends some.
You are coming across as a "Liverpool" supporter (you aren't), unable to understand that others are allowed to take the piss.
See this clip below of a comedian, taking the mick out of scousers, and the effect that has on the few Liverpool inhabitants in the audience. at 2.02 - the words he uses are quite apt.
he also takes the piss out of himself -" loud abnoxious drunken australian".
