I am offended by this. I totally hate this people who take religion for pleasure. All the religion teaches the prinicple of love.

why not you start with your own relious cartoon for fun-pleasure display. why make fun of other religion?

It’s been awhile… but I decided to check back and see where this discussion had ended. Unfortunately, some people (anajali) still think that “everyone” should know “everything” about “everybody”. Let’s be a little more understanding… I mean.. look at the total idiot that was elected president; if that doesn’t sum up the average (or sadly above average) limit of understanding in this country, I don’t know what else would. And, lets not forget, this was done for a comical purpose.. if the title were something like “sex pose, drink, or hindu god” then I think you may have a right to be a little more offended, but still, no right to argue with them.. because majority, minority, whatever you may be… if you are so insecure about your own religion, that some fool poking fun at it bothers you.. then perhaps you should find another religion that you have unending belief in, no matter what others say. Your religion is just that.. it’s your’s. If you force everyone else to conform to your standards…you’re no better than the Nazis.

IGNORANCE IS BLISS IS AT ITS PEAK
THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND UNSETTLING
WHAT’S THE NEED TO DISCUSS RELIGION ANYWAY? JUST BECAUSE IT’S AMERICA…FREEDOM OF SPEECH ETC… THAT DOES NOT PERMIT STUPIDITY

I am a hindu and I am deeply hurt to see the picture , Freedom of speech does not come without the responsibility that you does not hurt someone’s emotion . Why do magazines and companies do this to get cheap publicity . You follow your religion and I follow mine .

All this talk of freedom of speech is hypocritical, especially considering I was recently blocked (though later reinstated) to this site.

So attacks on my character, attempted censorship and Darfur aside (yes Darfur is a huge tragedy of which I’m aware, but one severe topic doesn’t preclude conversation about lesser topics, if so I can say “Darfur” every time someone tells me to take out the trash)…are we still saying that writing a letter to a magazine is a bigger waste of time than posting comments about not writing a letter to a magazine?

Snehalbhai,

I am impressed with your search for total understanding of all religions. Quite a task for someone who draws for a living. I’m glad that you find it so very simple to talk about yourself in such high regard. Your statements truly helped me realize what I was arguing about, and who I was arguing with.

Thank you for clearing everything up.

Your right we do agree on Freedom of Speech and don’t be sorry. Raising cultural awareness through Stuff Magazine is not possible. I doubt a men’s magazine can accomplish that with the fodder they print month to month. No one cares about Stuff Magazine and what they print. It’s a pointless magazine. It’s garbage. No one sees Stuff Magazine at a news stand and goes, “Hey i’m going to pick up this magazine and learn about another person’s culture today.” It’s a stupid magazine that will probably go bankrupt sooner or later because their riding on the coattails of Maxim.
I don’t need to tout my skills, my work or any of the things I do. It’s not about being a model humanitarian (which i’m not, there are very few of those), it’s about choosing an actual cause that’s going to make a real difference, a difference that will be seen over the years.
Even donating money to different charities is not enough. You want to raise cultural awareness start your own magazine, news paper, website or another form of media that is dedicated to raising cultural awareness, like what Nirali Magazine does.

You can only teach a person who wants to be taught.

Where’d snehal’s last post go? Bring it back, especially since he complimented me in it.
