The ease with which people insult Christians in this country was “there for everyone to see” during The Project earlier this week, says Sky News host Paul Murray.

“A comedian you’ve never heard of who’s doing his best to shock everyone decided to make a particularly offensive joke, one that

of course was about Christians,” Mr Murray said.“I respect people of faith, I am sick of them being insulted because they have faith.”

It wasn't taunting at all. It was a joke about a play in words, sex and Jesus. Was the subject of the joke, no taunting. It was very funny and if you're offended, I don't care. I don't believe in your stupid religion.

Pity the Brits gave their Irish convicts a second chance. God save the King.

Controversy often a tacky attempt at drawing audiences. Media famous for it.

Remember when Frydenburg made fun of Hindus IN PARLIAMENT ....

Yes, they see Christians as an easy target because we are told not to retaliate or to take our brothers to court. In addition to the important aspect of their insults, that they just hate Jesus.

The joke only suggested that JC had gay sex for three days then came back for more. Yeah, pretty bad, I guess. I mean the joke. Both asba joke and in relation to upsetting believers. Except of course that Christians have done so much worse in the name of JC, so, who cares?

🤔

A bit rich coming from a Trump worshipper.

...

Mudguts has been insulting our intelligence for years.

Benny. Thinks. It’s . The. Height. Of. Hypocrisy.

get over it...its not the 1950's anymore being spoon feed nonsense

The ease in which you insult the LGBTIQ+ community is disgusting.

Oh for Christ's sake Paul, take your medication. Yes the pun is deliberate.

Have a cry you soon Murray! The grand Pentecostal performance of the ever grubby Brother Stew at the Robodet RC must have been some concern for your beliefs Paul! Maybe you weren’t allowed to watch the disaster? Open you eyes!

But don't miss gender someone because that's offensive.

Right, because Christians have never persecuted anyone for their beliefs before.

Robodebt is more offensive

The church protects, remember paedophiles. That's far more awful than a joke.

Its best to ignore these people. They thrive on any response. Channel10AU has deteriorated into a sewer where only the lowest now go. They think it clever to denigrate & humiliate others & their beliefs. BUT - are the first to yell 'racism' etc etc if they can throw some mud.

I think Christian’s have been more insulted by the suicides linked to Robodebt LNPCorruptionParty LNPCrimeFamily LNPNeverAgain

It wasn’t a joke, Jesus was nailed to a cross for three days! Who would do such a thing?

28And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased/reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting.

27Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due

Get it right mate, Muslims as well

Now sky wants things cancelled. The hypocrisy of it !

Damn you guys cry a lot. For people that complain cancel culture and wokeism has gone to far you're awfully sensitive.

Christians are an insult to Christ.

He's gone WOKE, can't say anything these days 🙃

I am not so hurt by the Christian insult but more hurt and insulted to learn that people actually watch the Project!

Hoping that those who don't subscribe to your religious belief an eternity of torture is worse than cowardly. Organised religion never has the moral high ground. Maybe if it got itself aligned with the books they're based on, they might get less criticism. 👍

Rational people who enjoy critical thinking skills see religious belief in a God figure as foolish. We require credible evidence before that can be believed. That evidence has never been forthcoming. A joke about a mythical person is still a joke. Try to prove Jesus existed.

If Paul Murray is offended by a very funny joke then that is his problem. He has no right to complain when he is employed by a disgraced media baron who pays him to lie to Australians every day. Just because you are offended does not mean you are right. Just look at your morals.

What I cannot understand is how Israel Folou went through hell and high water , which ended in job loss over his comments which were quoted from the Bible, yet this “bloke” and the project seemingly slays the Christian faith on live t.v and gets away with it…

Who fucking cares? Christians are nerds

I guess people can argue freedom of speech, well then I guess no one should take offence to me saying that this particular guest suffers from a mental disorder - and that is a medical fact. As for the project the only people watching are all cognitively impaired.

It's unconscionable for mainstream media to ignore laws. Mocking of God in extreme crude/rude ways is not ok & especially during family viewing time. Extreme material, X or M rated material cannot be shown during family viewing time, only G & PG material is ok during such time.

Sky click-baiting, all to distract from the Robodebt RC. This has proven the LNP ministers as liars, willing to allow an illegal scheme to rob the lowest income Aussies of money not owed, causing so much anguish that resulted in death of some victims! LNPCrimeParty

Why apologies for something someone else said? The project has no control over what guests say.

The ease at which Christians have always insulted others has brought us to this point. Other religions are not completely innocent either. I feel sorry for the good religious people out there but bigotry is bigotry and religion is not an excuse anymore.

The joke was in bad taste and definitely not something that should be on TV at 6pm. I didn't like it and I'm not even Christian. However, I believe in free speech even for those who I heavily disagree with, like that wanker on the project, so I'm not a fan of policing speech.

It's a real mystery 🤪

Thought these people loved free speech?

And your Liberal mates insult us on a daily basis, yet you are mute.

Well today we had a Pentecostal in RobodebtRC and it seems his religion teaches abuse and terror. Money seems to be his god. Not sure if it's a Christian outfit. Hillsong College allegedly taught some students women should ‘submit’ sexually to husbands

Surely God has a sense of humour example he created a Platypus and a Pauline Hanson for God Sake.👍

Stop being so woke snowflakes.

If you believe in fake shit you should be ridiculed. It’s not my fault you’re sacred of death. Grow up

It was a joke not a war against Christians.

**Community Announcement** As people of faith, we would like to reassure everyone that Christianity is way more robust than these snowflakes at SkyNews are making it out to be. Jesus despised Conservatism then, and he would despise it even more now. auspol

I notice you're all studiously avoiding commentary on the lethal RoboDebt, which took 2,300 peoples' lives. Given your obsession with having only LNP MPs on, doubtless stuartrobertmp will be receiving a soft interview any day now ... ?

murray insults 75% of the population every night lol

been happening for a long time .... even all the whingers about Scott Morrisson being a Christian ... the hatred perpetrated at him was disgusting !

Jesus joke on The Project was ‘pathetic’The Australian’s Foreign Editor Greg Sheridan has described the inappropriate joke about Jesus Christ, which aired on Channel 10’s The Project, as “pathetic”. “I’ve appeared on The Project quite often, I’ve got a lot of respect for the people on it - Waleed Aly and so on disagree with his views,” he told Sky News host Peta Credlin. “On religion, he’s often tremendously sensible and sensitive … if people spoke about Mohammed that way, you know, Channel 10 would get burnt down.” Christians are an easy target to be bullied.

The Project aired ‘crude content’ during ‘family time’ with Jesus jokeThe Australian’s Media Writer Sophie Elsworth questions why The Project allowed a Jesus joke to be aired during “family time”. “This is dinner time, this show runs from 6:30 to 7:30 when families are often sitting in front of the TV watching what’s on at the news … and they're being subjected to this type of crude content,” Ms Elsworth told Sky News host Andrew Bolt.
