You poor, poor persecuted Christianists.

Jeeze, lighten up! I thought Griffin was pretty funny.

It's important to be able to laugh at ourselves. Unfortunately, some Christian bloggers are now taking themselves as seriously as the Muslims take their dogma.

So you agree with her statement then? Is that what you are trying to imply jp2?

If so, lets not beat around the Burning Bush and say it.

If not, either comment on the commentary given in this post or take your snide remark and lack of common sense and kindly disappear from the thread.

I think why Ms. Griffin's humor falls flat (or can even be interpreted as a bigotted slam) is that I cannot recall any entertainment award winner "thanking Jesus" ... EVER.

I'd say this indicates that Griffin has some serious Christophobic issues.

Miss Griffin has just proved that she belongs on the D list, if not lower.

At some point, insulting persons committed to a philosophy of love of God and neighbor will become socially unacceptable again. I hope I live to see it.

"I thought Griffin was pretty funny" -and ugly-no wonder she does not like Jesus. Poor old jp2 must be a non-believer.

"Just out of curiosity: what do you think the backlash will be for this remark?"

I'm saying "pity."

Incidentally, "many a truth is said in jest." I believe she is serious. Her award, her career, her fame - these are her gods. It makes me sad for her - not angry. She is far too small to injure my faith.

Of course poking fun at Christians is the new big thing (only it really is not that new) - generally, we do not threaten to blow people up, we do not threaten massive lawsuits, boycotts, or "holy" campaigns of terror and destruction over a perceived slight, etc. etc. I said "generally" for a reason, though - after all, every organization has its collection of nut cases... just, in some cases, the nut cases are the majority and/or have taken over.

That, and Christians are to blame for EVERYTHING. Did you not get the memo?

This woman's comments are, indeed, laughable... but not from the funny aspect, but rather from the "Oh my God, how childishly immature is that?" point of view. Talk about a petulant, spoiled little brat...

Kathy was definitely out when Jesus was distributing looks, brains and personality. She is unattractive in an epic way --I can't imagine any man wanting to be anywhere near her. And who cares what she says--anyone who listens to her poor excuse for comedy should be immune to offense.

You poor, poor persecuted Christianists.

We'll remember that the next time you non-"Christianists" complain about Christians supposedly treading all over your rights.

You: "They're saying 'under God' in the pledge of allegiance! That offends me!"
Us: "You poor, poor persecuted secularists."

You: "President Bush talks about God and Jeebus too much!"
Us: "You poor, poor persecuted secularists."

You: "You're trying to ban abortion and gay marriage on religious grounds!"
Us: "You poor, poor persecuted secularists."

What goes around comes around, my friend. In short, suck it.

"What goes around comes around, my friend. In short, suck it."

If you claim the mantle of Christianity, you should be careful of what you say. Jesus reserved his greatest acrimony for those who claim to represent his Father, but do not. Just sayin'

Unfortunately, some Christian bloggers are now taking themselves as seriously as the Muslims take their dogma.

Talk your unmitigated bullcrap. Funny, never have seen those "Kill Those Who Mock Jesus" signs anywhere.

She was ACTUALLY mocking the idiots that thank God and Jesus for every stupid thing that happens. Like God has anything to do with a rapper winning a trophy for his loving lyrical portrayal of bitches and hoes, or a boxer whop beats his opponent into a coma...etc.

But sure, go ahead, put on the victim cloak, if it makes you feel better.

"I think why Ms. Griffin's humor falls flat (or can even be interpreted as a bigotted slam) is that I cannot recall any entertainment award winner "thanking Jesus" ... EVER."

That's *insane*. It happens at least once during every award show and almost freaking time a sports team or individual competitor gets interviewed.

I heard that thousands of Christian churches are holding a massive beheading and hanging display, maybe a few will be passed through the wood chipper, starting tomorrow. All Democrats (aka atheist) report at 8AM or you will have to stand in line. No problem really, it will be your last line and there is no waiting at the gates of hell.

Well, there ya go. A show I never watched that won an award I could care less about.

She is gargoyle personified..

Kind of looks like Kalibos from Clash of the Titans..

Another ugly miserable and oblivious Pelosi in the making. Self centered , self absorbed and self worshipping. Stupid delusional Democrats will be saying "suck it satan" in no time while kicking themselves for "mocking the idiots that thank God and Jesus for every stupid thing that happens."
LOSERS.

if directly AFTER her the next person had indeed said: "Suck it Allah!", this butt-ugly broad would have been OUTRAGED!!

well F**K You, woman! At least I won't have to avoid paying money to see her in any venue of entertainment...'cause she isn't IN any (except some piece of shit TV thing I never heard of!)!!

So, it would be no problem for you to give me an acceptance speech from the Oscars or Emmys where "I thank Jesus" is in the speech?

Since Ms. G was at an EMMYs show, I don't think I'm being too restrictive (and I don't think she meant sports figures).

Don't worry...I'll check back when you've hunted down and posted an authoritative quote.

Last year Three 6 Mafia thanked Jesus for winning the Oscar for "It's Hard Out Here For a Pimp."

Is that what you're looking for? ;)

If Griffin's intention was to make fun of those who use Jesus' name, then her aim was way off. She offended those who do not trivialize Jesus.

But her attitude towards Christians and conservatives in general are well known, so it's no surprise that she would make such a 'joke', inadvertently or not. It's just her nature.

Honestly, when someone who is clearly a non-believer makes such a blasphemous comment, I pray for them. I pray that Kathy Griffin will someday know the true love of Jesus as I do. I didn't always know Him, and would have found her comment quite funny. Now, although I am truly offended to hear anyone say anything against my Lord, I try to take a "...they know not what they do" approach and pray that they will see the truth someday. I can only imagine the number of barbs I'll take for this comment, but I'm ok with that too.

"Be yea not deceived, GOD is not mocked."

I don't think this example passes the test.

Oh, my. Hey, we want to thank Keith Young our choreographer. And the whole Sony Records, Lisa Ellis, our moms, our whole families. Thank you, Jesus. And for giving us a chance, the Academy. We love the Academy. You know what I'm saying?

Living in the south, I would view this more as: "Thank God"...as opposed to the lengthy witness many sports stars offer when they are interviewed. Which witness is meant and seen by all as proselytizing.

Three 6 Mafia was not proselytizing in that manner that Gifford chose to dis. So I think Darleen's point stands...excluding sports stars, who do this most frequently, name an entertainment award winner(s) (has the younger Baldwin won such an award?)Who does this frequently?

Somewhere in heaven Jesus is smiling saying, "there there Cathy, life ain't so bad now is it?"

Our God is big enough to look out for himself -- Griffin is just another left-wing hack who hates the Judeo-Christian heritage that allows her to say such foolish things.

BarneyG,
Your comments might be funnier if you learned how to spell.

Nah.

I don't think this example passes the test.

Neither do I; I just remembered reading about it and finding it humorous that he thanked Jesus for winning an award for that song.

So I think Darleen's point stands...excluding sports stars, who do this most frequently, name an entertainment award winner(s) (has the younger Baldwin won such an award?)Who does this frequently?

I have no idea, I don't watch award shows. I do recall that Oscar winners tend to thank the Academy, which is their real god, as Griffin reveals, quite wittingly it seems.

Personally I find this uproar rather humorous. Who cares what she says?

Oh, I forgot.

Suck it, Satan.

barneygoogle and mantis are about as funny as two quarter size boils on each of your ass.

each-"cheek" of..

Barney...here's a thought. Go to several Jihadi websites (they're easy to find) and post things like:
- Mohamed was a child rapist (true, btw)
- Allah can suck me!
- Islam is the religion of goat-bonkers!

and the like.

Then, post your home address and invite those with differing opinions to come and "discuss" your views!

Enjoy!

It would be akin to standing up and screaming:
"The Marines are all PUSSIES!" in Oceanside, CA versus in San Francisco.

Do it in San Francisco and you're not very brave.

Do it in Oceanside and you're very, uh, stoooopid.

For you, and this Emmy moron, to insult Christians is NOT very brave. 'Cause we don't cut people's heads off when they disagree with us.

Islam, the "religion of peace", DOES!

Thank God she didn't call someone a "fag" or she would
have lost her acting gig and been forced into rehab.

Thank God she didn't try to put up a replica of the
birth of Christ in a public place.liberals would have
a heart attack.

Thank God she didn't hold up a dollar bill or a quarter showing the words "In God we trust",Barney's wee little head would have exploded.

Thank God she was not trying to put up a cross on
a memorial for our Soldiers,liberals would have cried
and jumped up and down spilling their cappuccino's
everywhere.

Thank God she didn't say the words "Merry Christmas"
or ask if the Salvation Army could set up outside,liberals would have threatened lawsuits and chained themselves to the doors.

God help her if she were caught walking around with a couple of Boy Scouts or Girl Scouts,we know what kind of little nazis they can be helping old ladies across the street and camping out.

If she had said the Pledge of Allegiance,we all know
how the liberals hate"One Nation under God",there would
have been hell to pay from the ACLU and the Pelosi/Bill
Maher crowd.

liberals are always talking about respecting other
peoples beliefs and traditions,free speech,tolerance,
and handling events in a civil and intelligent manner.

The problem is they only practice what they preach
when it is something they agree with.

I guess this is what you get from people who are running on an "anti-war" platform and their leading
candidate has voted for two wars in six years.

God Bless America and "Merry Christmas"!!

Let's see, Idolatry; check. Graven images; check. Suck it? Why this girl needs some old fashioned spiritual advice. Ya'd think that would be an easy commodity out theyah.
=========================================

barney, I have rarely seen someone SO proud of being ignorant and obnoxious!

I was merely asking you to exhibit some intestinal fortitude! Apparently you have NONE!

but then, I knew that!

Maybe she can finally afford to have some "work" done . . .
