Absolutely. If one comes to my town, it’s an opportunity to offer it up as a mortification for my sins.
Respectfully, no. Plenty of people say and do plenty of things that offend, if not outright appall and disgust, me, for no reason that I can see.
However, I will meet you halfway. Once we manage to stop all hateful acts, no I’ll make it easier, all hateful acts motivated by someone else’s religion, then I will support opposition to this.
So that makes this OK? ![]()
We are now solidly in the midst of an era of “the tyranny of the offended”.
For those who like their blasphemy as the main course: Cheesus Crust Pizza.
If “Happy holidays” = “war on Christmas,” then this is Christians throwing dessert to the lions.
This aggression will not stand. For it is written:
If any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy cone, let him have thy spoon also.
Made from the finest cheeses of Nazareth, Pennsylvania. ![]()
NB: That album is by an actual evangelical Christian skapunk group.
The offenderati may commence hyperventilating now.
“What, then, to do about Cheeses of Nazareth?”
Eat them, I guess. 
I wonder if they would consider 1776 blasphemous?
[repeated line]
McNair: Awww, Sweet Jesus!
To RTF: Not just cheesemakers but dairymen of all persuasions.
Makes what OK? The fact that they can do so? Yes, I’d say that it makes it OK. In this particular case it’s people being offended at nothing, that’s what makes it OK.
He said it again! Stone him!
Could the name be offensive? Yeah, I can see that. It arguably makes light of a sacred name. They also play up the religious connection a bit. I would guess that most Christians aren’t particularly offended, but some are. As such, I would probably prefer that they name it something different, but we live in a country that guarantees you a right to offend if you’d like. I would liken this to if a white guy opened up a restaurant called ‘The Real MLKing’ and had offerings like ‘The Malcolm X-perience’ and then said “It’s just a pun name because we serve southern food and ‘the real thing’ is an expression.” I think that it would not be outrageous if people took umbrage. I think taking something important to people and using it in a funny way to sell product is probably crass, but it’s a free country. I guess if more people like the ice cream than are offended by the name then that’s the market at work and what can you do?
For that you must go across the street to the Stone Cold Creamery.
Obviously we can disagree on whether it’s something worth getting offended over, but it’s not nothing.
It’s nothing like that. “The Real MLKing” is not an expression. “Sweet Jesus” is.
I see nothing offensive here at all. How is having Jesus associated with something all people enjoy a bad thing? ![]()
And yet no one objects to a Hail Mary pass in football.
What’s up with that? Surely that’s objectionable too.
People getting offended is nothing new, but it doesn’t give them any special standing.

Ian O’Sullivan should relax & have a beer.
