Pune, Jan 21 - Christian groups in the state Monday took umbrage at a 2013 calendar showing Jesus Christ holding a cigarette and a beer and urged the Maharashtra government to initiate action. The Catholic Secular Forum (CSF) and other groups said their religious sentiments have been "insulted".
In another instance, a post on social networking website Facebook showing Mother Mary ordering Christ to "clean up" has angered the community. In the post, Mother Mary is depicted saying: "Jesus! Look at this mess! Clean up your room now!"
"When there were objections to the post, the author apologised, but in a very nasty manner using the 'F' word, which made it even worse," said CSF president Joseph Dias.
With so many people taking umbrage these days you'd think we would have a shortage.
ReplyDeleteMabe if we charged for umbrage fewer people would take it.
If our Chancellor of the Exchequer introduces an umbrage tax in the next budget I will be blaming you, Deacon Charlie!
DeleteFTW, Deacon Charlie!
DeleteI agree with JCF. Really excellent, Deacon Charlie!
