If someone were to pee on your mother's picture--in public--would you not think that an insult to your mother?

You're mixing outrages. If you want to argue a point, you should argue the point, not bring in other points to argue.

The Virgin Mary was not insulted in the South Park episode. Catholics, sure. Alcoholics Anonymous, absolutely. People who believe in miracles, probably so. But a cartoon depiction of a statue of the Virgin Mary bleeding is not an insult to the Virgin Mary.

Are you that obtuse that you confuse a cartoon depiction of a statue of a person as the person itself?

What about burning an American flag? It is, after all, only a piece of cloth. No insult to the nation intended, right?

This is a predictable thread.

Some folks cant tell the difference between a cartoon and reality, nor can they stand it when the South Park crew aims in their direction, when all other directions are just fine with them.

The episode was hilarious, as are almost all the other episodes of South Park, the only difference being how secure (or not) some are about their own beliefs.
