Why the disrespect? Easy. Why the respect?Although respect is often a thing that must be earned, it is also given out of human decency. Rare is the case that someone will (without provocation) disrespect another's mother. It is avoided simply because it is the decent thing to do. For instance, would anyone on this board dare post a cartoon of a woman hanging on a cross and label it "bboyneko's mother?" I think not. We give respect for others that extends to those they hold dear. For many Christians, Christ is just as dear, if not more so, than their own family members. To disrespect Christ can be as insulting to Christians as disrespecting their mother. As was pointed out, Christ certainly does have broad enough shoulders to handle insults. This, however, makes it no less insulting to Christians. Just a thought.
