In honor of blasphemy

I believe that blasphemy is a wonderful thing. ALL religion deserves to be mocked and people of the faith shouldn't be spared either. (I am Jewish by the way)

here are some of my favorites.


Moses - Ten Commandments - Mel Brooks




Druish princess - Mel Brooks


Taking the name of the lord in vein. Again Mel Brooks




Monty Python



I have already posted Onion stuff about Islam but if you find other stuff post it in the comments.

Classic Monty Python. We are on the same wavelength today.

Can't find the YouTube link, but that was a pretty funny one.

I think Muslims consider him to be a prophet as well.

Edit to add: Elijah, not Seinfeld.

Good that SNL can do that sort of thing with no fear.

Even better when it's actually funny!

What would life be like without those who put a spotlight on the 500 lb gorilla, because everyone else is too afraid to do so?
