why do people make fun of Jesus?

Question

But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was upon him,
and by his wounds we are healed

Isaiah 53

Answer 1

Personally I think everything you said in your question is simply your personal belief, yet you state it all as though it were a fact. Can you not appreciate that some people don't share your views and that they sound crazy. Obviously they don't sound crazy to you, but can you not appreciate that some people might find them crazy, OR EVEN OBJECTIONABLE.

I dont even believe that Jesus even existed anymore, yet I would not make fun of the figure of Jesus, because despite the fact that so much has been added and so much kept out of the bible that wasn't originally there, I believe that the sayings of Jesus represent an ideal for humanity that we can all profit by. Despite your beliefs as outlined above, do you think that you can live up to the lifestyle Jesus recommends better than say a Zen master. It is a fact that many buddhist practitioners can see the wisdom and truth of many of Jesus sayings (like the Sermon on the Mount) and in following their own faith and way of life they live up to the way of life Jesus extolled in stark contrast to so many Christian believers. How many Christians throughout history have felt justified in killing and plundering others for example? I am not saying that you would condone this, but it shows that faith in a creed or doctrine takes second place to a life lived in conscience.

Answer 2

Why not!!?
One: He's dead. Died many, many years ago,
Two: If, for arguments' sake he was alive, do you REALLY think he would be there, saying "Oh woe, they are making fun of me! Boo-hoo!!" "I have no humour! I feel so picked on...!"

DO YOU!?

Or, do you think he'd be able to laugh at himself, like all intelligent, kind people? Because it tends to be the arrogant, self important morons who lack humour, ESPECIALLY when it comes to laughing at themselves...
You see, I was picked on quite a bit when younger. It was water off a ducks back, so to speak for me. I can laugh at my mistakes, at myself. I'm sure if this humble mortal can ignore taunts and find humour about myself, a so-called GOD could!

Please, get a grip.

Answer 3

Usually it is someone who is insecure in their beliefs-they're afraid of what He might do for them and are in the grips of the evil ones.They're afraid and insecure-final answer. Remember that He said to turn the other cheek and didn't defend Himself even at the crucifixtion.

Answer 4

They do it out of ignorance and fear. He has been persecuted since day one, its not a new phenomenon.
I only know one thing for sure. Nobody cries out to Lucifer on their death bed, they beg God for mercy. You will never find an atheist in a fox hole or near death situation.

Answer 5

Because people can take anything, even serious things like AIDS and pedophiles, and find some comical relief out of it.

Answer 6

Which Jesus are you talking about, because every denomination, culture, race, and generation has a different one.

Bully's make fun of other people to hide their own inadiquicies... Jesus is perfect, everyone's inadiquate compared to him. So people make fun of him so that they feel better about themselves.
