http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AsA1ew2TYc.f00.geF81tBTsy6IX?qid=20070320135027AAYVADB

My question is, is anytime a person asks a question that isn't about panti-theism, are they in fact, mocking my worship of panti-s?

Not trying to get my panti-s in a britches here or anything,

----

Serious question: Asking a question about a religion that isn't yours - does that rise to the level of mocking your religion. If its cause panti-theism is obviously some horny dude trying to flirt, so what, get off your high horse.

Thanks.

Mock: to treat somebody or something with scorn or contempt.

Joke: anything said or done to make people laugh.

I can see a fine line of distinction between those two, can you? However, as usual, Sean, I think your intent was to joke and not to mock.
The question you linked to you I saw as a joke, one that intended to poke fun at pantheism. I suppose if you are a pantheist, you might find that offensive. I did not however, see anything in that joke that specifically mocked Jesus Christ, so I disagree with the answer that you were "mocking your Savior."
If your intent is indeed to mock, you might want to ask a question like "What color underwear did Jesus wear," now you'll get a lot of you're "mocking your Savior" responses with that one. Just a suggestion.
Personally I know that God doesn't need me to defend Him.

Maybe if you were serious, it wouldn't be so rude, but "panti-theism"? You're just mocking God!

He won't forget. Repent now and you can enjoy heaven forever, too.
