AIBU to find the Greggs nativity sausage really, really funny?

[Troutfin27]

Admittedly, I am an (ex Catholic) atheist but are there any Christians on here who also found it funny?

Not Christian but I did find it very amusing. The headlines were priceless

I am very sorry in advance for any Christians out there who may be offended by me finding it amusing

Catholic here who chuckled. Genuinely don't know who these people are that bother complaining about things like this.

I thought it was funny too but I'm not Christian nor I was raised Christian so my viewpoint is irrelevant really anyway. Having said that, have been talking to Christian family members/friends & family/friends who are not Christian but were raised as such and they all think it's funny as well. Am going to follow this as I'm interested to see if anyone here feels differently?

Wonder what the complainers would have made of our nativity last year?

Yep I thought it was quite funny TBH, and I wasn't really offended, but I do wonder if they would take the piss out of any other religion like this.. EG, Islam.

There would have been a major shitstorm if it had been any other religion.

Do get a bit tired of Christianity being poked fun at.

As I said, why do they not do it to any other religion?

Yeah I know it's Christmas and that's why they are doing it to the Nativity! However, my point is that people who 'mock' religion only ever do it to Christianity IYSWIM.

In a free country anything should be open to mockery. The fact that all religions are not is a worry.

I should think that any supreme being could rise above a sausage roll.

No. It’s hilarious.

Link please?!

I thought it was hilarious but can understand why some may not

Yanbu.

A friend posted the link to this story earlier and I found it extremely amusing.

I think there’d be uproar if it was another religion being mocked at a time of importance to it.

But I’m lapsed catholic and laughed!

I think it would have been funnier if the Three Wise Men had given baby Jesus a selection of baked goods as presents.

I thought it was Jewish people they were apologising to?

The whole Jesus was Jewish/pork thing.

That is funny. Dont get the outrage. Same as the outrage over the muslim family in the tesco advert.

If you say Jesus backwards......

Post a pic

Lol

Sooo hilarious hehe

It was a stroke of genius

I shall be eating Greggs sausage rolls all the more

Ok, yeah... Didn't make me laugh. I'm an atheist btw

I love the survey question on the Telegraph site “was it acceptable to replace Jesus with a sausage roll?”

I’m a Christian. My main problem with this is they should have used a smaller sausage roll. The scale is off. This story really made me chuckle.

My favourite nativity scene is the one with the Henry hoovers.

Don’t really darken the doors of our local church more than once or twice a year but try to follow Christian values/be a good person. Just heard this on the news and roared with laughter. Didn’t occur to me that perhaps Jewish people would be offended with the whole pork thing so I am sorry for that aspect. But no, thought it was really funny!
