In response to your specific points:
All worked up? Writing this post only took a few minutes…. and I don’t feel that I was all that worked up to do it.
I don’t watch the show, and I know of a few people who have cancelled their HBO subscriptions because of this show.
I don’t care if it mocks everything – in fact, if it does truly mock everything, that’s all the more reason not to watch it and to let HBO know you are unhappy by cancelling your subscription.
As to whether I’m wasting my time: Clearly I don’t feel this is a waste of my time, but rather I see it as a worthy cause – precisely because I *can* do something about it by voicing my opinion in a public forum such as this.

While I appreciate your view, I prefer to take a more pro-active approach to offensive items such as this, rather than the “meh” approach you suggest.

Have a great week!

You are ridiculous. There is no reason to get all worked up about something so insignificant. If you don’t like it, don’t watch it. You can’t honestly expect anyone to go cancel their HBO subscriptions because of one thing in a show you haven’t even seen. Ray is dead on and in no way is Curb Your Enthusiasm targeting only Christianity, it mocks all kinds of people. Maybe you should watch the show and understand the premise before you go bashing on it, crazy.

Then turn off your TV and read a book, go for a walk, meet your neighbors, or volunteer your extra time towards a worthy cause rather than wasting your time complaining about something you can’t do anything about.

“When was the last time he mocked Muslims? Jews? Blacks? The President?” He’s mocked all of the above, several times.

I am saddened to hear that after such an apparently strong religious education and background, you are not bothered by such a desecration of a portrayal of your Savior.

As a graduate from a Christian college, with 2 additional years in Bible college, and 20 years in Christian fundamentalist-type churches I can say that I didn’t find that episode of Curb offensive.

It wasn’t mocking…the picture of Jesus was hung above the toilet and, being on medication that caused excessive/erratic urination Larry splashed from up from the toilet by accident…which led to one single drop that looked like a tear…

While they would have never played it during chapel, it wasn’t sacrilegious…nor meant to be.

I ended up on your site because I’m looking into Sandvox…

Take care.
