But this really isn't about BPS and God having a good laugh-- heck, BPS
probably doesn't even believe in God. It's about BPS and you having a good
laugh at Joe Christian and his relationship with God. It's like the unwritten
rule that only Jewish comedians are allowed to tell Jewish jokes, or that only
black people are allowed to call each other by the N-word. Anyone else outside
of those groups telling Jewish jokes or using the N-word would be labeled
"racist".
If BPS *were* a Christian, I think it would be different, because he would be
laughing at *himself* as well as others; as it is he is only laughing at
others, and religion is probably the touchiest subject an individual could
choose to mock.
But hey, it's a free country. Not like Christians will be calling for *his*
death, but I find it interesting that in this PC atmosphere of sensitivity to
minorities and different cultures, it's always open season to bash Christians.
