The Night Before : I wonder if Rogen would have any problem with a Catholic/Christian
Re: I wonder if Rogen would have any problem with a Catholic/Christian
100% true. The hypocrisy is crazy with things like this. Hate against christians is not only ok, but encouraged, but don't you dare do the same thing back!
Re: I wonder if Rogen would have any problem with a Catholic/Christian
That is just insane. They make fun of Jewish people ALL the time in these movies. WAY more than they make fun of Christians. You're making up your own outrage my friend.

Why are there always some christians who whine about this? You should be proud that nowadays you are confident enough in your mythology to be made fun of. Unlike the other insecure cults!

I highly doubt he would give a flying *beep*.

He'd probably be all like "remember the six million, remember the shoah!" bla bla bla and he'd compare it to Auschwitz.
Jewish elite always want to mock whites and/or Christians but they can never take any mockery in return. They always have a "sense of humor" except when it's someone else mocking them.

And neither can you apparently. You're getting worked up about a movie that only vaguely insults Christianity.
Re: I wonder if Rogen would have any problem with a Catholic/Christian
Seth Rogen is a fat no talent *beep* Nobody is going to see this crap.

Re: I wonder if Rogen would have any problem with a Catholic/Christian
You're missing the point. The posters were identifying hypocrisy. Why is it acceptable to make jokes about some religions, but not others? You just said Christians need to lighten up and not take everything so seriously. Would you say that to Jews or Muslims? Would Hollywood say that? A sweeping general statement like that should go for everyone of every creed, but it doesn't. Why? That's what the original poster was simply identifying. Hypocrisy is hypocrisy. If one religion is fair game then all should be. If one race is fair game, then all are. If making jokes about heterosexual sex and relationships is fair game, then so should jokes about homosexual relationships and sex. So on and so on.
Re: I wonder if Rogen would have any problem with a Catholic/Christian
This is a fallacious comparison.
If making jokes about heterosexual sex and relationships is fair game, then so should jokes about homosexual relationships and sex.
Good humour should be about punching up, not down. Homosexuals are a minority that have only very recently been granted the same legal rights as heterosexuals, and they continue to suffer persistent persecution, with some countries threatening to punish their very existence with death, and even relatively safe democratic countries like the US still full of thousands of people propagating anti-gay hate-speech and gay people still subject to violence on a simple account of their identity. Thus, one can not say that a joke that targets a gay person is the same as a joke that targets a straight person.
With respect to jokes targeting Christian or Jewish people, the situation is, I think, more complicated. It is only a mere seventy years since the Nazi death camps were liberated and until very recently, Jewish people were still unable to work at certain companies, purchase homes in certain communities and become members of certain clubs, on account of their ethnicity (regardless of whether they were observant/practicing Jews or not - which is another reason why one cannot make a direct comparison between mocking Christianity or even Islam, both religions, and Judaism, which is a religion, and a cultural and ethnic identity). That said, it is also arguable that despite the persistence of anti-Semitic hatred across Europe and even within some parts of the US, the Jewish community, on balance, does have more economic, cultural and social power relative to the average person of any race, ethnicity, religion etc. That is not to say that they control the media or finance as some rabid right-wing conspiracy theorists and neo-Nazis like to suggest, but I do think it is fair to say that by most measurements, Jews, although still vulnerable as ever to anti-Semitic attacks, physical, verbal or otherwise, are not, for the most part, an 'oppressed group', certainly not to the extent Jews were a handful of decades ago.
I'm still not sure, in view of their status as a literal minority (Jews make-up approximately 0.2% of the world's population, and only 2.2% of the US population) and the relatively recent historical persecution of Jewish people, not to mention the rise of far-right anti-Semitism in Europe, and the ever-prevalent hatred propagated by extremist Muslims (who admittedly belong to another minority group also subject to a form of persecution), that one can argue that making fun of Jewish culture is the same as making fun of the mainstream Christian culture (and bear in mind that most people nowadays celebrate Christmas to one extent or another, regardless of whether they are Christian, atheist and secular-Jewish, whereas only observant Jews celebrate Hanukkah and Yom Kippur).
That said, I do think an intelligent, reasonable, balanced and completely open discussion (without either recourse to racist/bigoted arguments, or conversely, attempts to censor individuals on account of over-zealous political-correctness) of what should be open to ridicule/mockery, and what is still, for the most part, out of bounds for matters of cultural sensitivity, should be welcomed.
Re: I wonder if Rogen would have any problem with a Catholic/Christian
I love how people speak for others. I have already paid $ to see this immature, 2 star comedy. I knew in advance what to expect.
By the way, I'm pretty sure Seth Rogen couldn't care less, if, in the filming of a comedy, someone threw up on the closest dreidel or slipped on a yamakadamn it!

He obviously wouldn't give a *beep*.Nobody gives a *beep* about *beep* like that when millions of dollars are at stake grow the *beep* up n stop being sucha whiney little *beep*
I wonder if Rogen would have any problem with a Catholic/Christian
I am sure if that happened then the Director, writers, actors, etc would all be anti-Semitic people who deserve a death sentence.
I don't know why I care. No one will go spend $ to see this POS movie.
