There’s a certain arrogance in that type of behavior that is really a turn off for me. Very offensive indeed.

Yes, Doug B. It isn’t the name that offends. It’s the arrogance and juvenile behavior behind it that does. I can almost see a forty-something person standing next to the sign with their thumbs in their ears, waggling their fingers, sticking their tongue out followed by “nanny, nanny, boo, boo.”

Well, you know they do, so the name Jesus is really offensive. I’m sure Jesus’ all over the place are really confused by what is so offensive, though.

Or any awards, or the news, or American politics. While he’s at it he’ll need to avoid social media and, well, the internet in general.

Jesus? What’s wrong with Jesus? It’s a perfectly good name. I went to grade school with three different guys named Jesus, and they were perfectly friendly.

Yes, and they’re all thoroughly confused as to why whoever made this sign felt the need to repeat their name over and over.
