Get over it Islam.
As an artist I'm offended. But I got over it.

I'm more offended when people let their dogs shit on my lawn. That pisses me off. You can crack jokes and make fun of my religion, it doesn't bother me in the least. I don't need anyone to respect my religion to validate it for me, and thier disrespect doesn't invalidate it either.

Fundies of all stripes the Muslims and the Xtians, need to take themselves and their beliefs a lot less seriously.

Your beliefs will really be challenged when someone's dog takes a shit on your lawn in the shape of the Virgin Mary. Is it a sign from God? Is it art?

These are the defining moments that shape a person.
It is said that one cannot truly obtain the status of "unstoppable killing machine" until they have stared down the barrel of questions like these.

Maybe we could just get them to start to kill each other off. That would make life a little more bareable.

They always seem to find a way to drag the rest of us into it...
