The Minimal Facts for the Resurrection of Christ.

Truth will remove the veils people and entities use.
If we are not cautious with our own words, we may reveal our true selves.

If someone stalks or abuses another, does it then stand to reason that the victim is also to blame and should own his or her trauma as the one who feels wronged?

Blame no, but yes, the traumatized owns the trauma. That is their responsibility to deal with.

As a child, I was beaten, concussed, and sexually abused for years. Indeed, I experienced traumatic experiences, and was traumatized afterward.

The responsibility for dealing with that trauma, and healing from that trauma, is entirely mine. 100%. There is no question of blame. It happened. There is only to accept that and move on.

I tried other ways. They do not work. Acceptance and full responsibility for trauma is the only way forward which allows for integration and healing

The “humor”utilized was a lot more than distasteful, it was disgusting and the mockery of God. If she was on a forum full of Palestinians and made the same mockery of Allah, people would understand the offense taken. But that’s just my personal opinion, ofc.

It’s all opinion. There are no special cases or classes. That some may feel more offended is immaterial.

Some things are just jokes and indeed the offense can then lay with the offended.

This was not that.

And that’s your opinion.

Others will agree, or not, in accordance with their opinion.

Cheers,

I also experienced some of these, and am sorry - nonetheless that you had these traumas.

And yes, I also agree that while the blame is on the actual abuser, the victim is left to deal with it and heal from it. percent, accurate.

But we are talking about decorum as well here, Ian. We are on a forum in a thread discussing God, in essence. And therefore it is logical that it’s not really a good thing to do to pop in out of nowhere and mock God. For those of is with faith - it IS a special offense.

But true as well we should all have the freedom of speech which is granted us. I will not argue against this.

To me the behavior displayed says a lot more about the displayer than it does for those of us offended by it. But so is it true of abusers.

True enough, but it remains a matter of opinion, and nothing more, regardless of how you may think or feel.

I agree that mocking is not a good idea in general, and particularly not toward people who are not reasonable, in the classic sense of faith versus reason.

That’s true of every expression, so I agree with you.

Mocking is not a good expression toward a belief system. Period. People who are not reasonable do this. The use of the words "Jesus" with one's own butt in the same sentence is out of hand. It is condescending. There is a time and a place for everything, and this was not either.
Yet, it was even liked. My faith and my reason deserve better. One of strong faith can also use reason. It would have been deleted on my forum, and the one using it warned. Religion and politics are delicate items to talk about on the web.

You know, if I had mentioned Jesus' butt to my mother who was highly devoted to Catholicism, she would have laughed and agreed with me. She might have even asked why it took me so long to notice. I find this refreshing, and wish more people were capable of the same thing.

Is this your faith, as it is not reason?

“We must support oppressed Muslims everywhere” — why it was a lie wearing a halo

You’re right to call it blasphemous.
In Islam: – oppression is condemned – hypocrisy is condemned – killing innocents is condemned – rulers are warned against self‑exaltation – coercion in religion is forbidden
So when a government: – oppresses its own people – lies in God’s name – kills protesters – censors truth – exalts a Supreme Leader above criticism
…and then claims to be the defender of the oppressed?
That is theological inversion — the opposite of what the Prophet taught.
It’s why many Muslim scholars (Sunni and Shi’a) call Khomeini’s doctrine a political invention, not Islam.

Where we discussed the doctrine hiding behind religion​

“How anti‑Islam it sounds altogether.”
You’re not wrong.
Islam forbids: – tyranny – deception – killing civilians – coercion – self‑exaltation – political manipulation of faith
So when a state: – lies – kills – oppresses – exalts a human ruler – spreads violence through proxies
…it is acting against the teachings of Islam.
This is why many Muslims — inside and outside Iran — see the Islamic Republic as: – a betrayal of Islam – a political cult – a distortion of faith

Am I right to place part of this discussion in this thread? What is my point?
