I suspect, that Jesus used the condom.
To compare a statue of any religion to a condom is ignorant and sacreligious. To even mention Jesus, whether you are Christian or not, is disgusting. The man died for his beliefs. I like a good joke like anyone else, but not this kind. Bad taste.
Yep.
And it also seems like the photographer’s done a naughty little plagaristic deed; this reminds me of Virgin in a Condom , a very controversial piece of “art” that a local artist put in Te Papa (New Zealand’s national museum), which featured a statue of Mary inside a condom.
Or it could just be an original thought from the bad taste part of the collective unconscious.
Lady, I’m Catholic and I have no problem with this. Lighten up.
You’re obviously not. This is blasphemy, and if you’re really any kind of Catholic, you’d be ashamed of yourself for saying that. Blasphemy is one of the Ten Commandments, Lisa, and you’re either lying through your teeth or you need to go back to church and ask an elder to explain blasphemy to you.
seriously, chillax.
I’m Christian, have been since birth. and I think it’s kind of funny.
Blasphemy is not of one of the ten commandments. Perhaps you’re referring to the super-secret eleventh commandment – “Thou shalt make an ass of himself on the internet — whatever that is”
According to George Carlin, the Eleventh Commandment is: Thou Shalt Not Wanna. And he should know: He went to Catholic School!
According to Even Almighty, it’s thou shalt do the dance! And yep, its pretty funny, with a mild dash of bad taste. And it’s not nearly as bad as some of the stuff on teh webz.
Actually it is blasphemy to worship any graven image. (That would be the second one on the commandment list.)
that means most Catholics are blasphemers.
NOONE IS WORSHIPIN A CONDOM IT IS WRONG TO COMPARE A CONDOM TO MARY BUT THAN AGAIN THE ONLY THING SHE DID WAS GIVE BIRTH TO JESUS, I DONT ITS RIGHT TO COMPARE SOMETHING LIKE THAT TO MARY BUT THAN AGIAN IT IS FUNNY
Buddha was a hippy and Jesus was a 30yr-old virgin and Mohammed probably had children as wives and Ras Tafar (?) was a pothead and God is a floating spirit and atheists have no ambitions and theists don’t do enough and my own beliefs are an indecisive mashup of everything that I wholeheartedly believe in and whose fallibility I believe in.
Bad taste for bad taste’s sake isn’t good, but if something’s funny then only people scared of their own lack of faith should be offended. The only exceptions are if something funny could nonetheless propogate stereotypes or harm public opinions of a group or faith, in which case we should burn them all.
I give no answers, only questions.
I like you.
Lol, you are joking right? This isn’t blasphemy. And come now… this is just a bit of humor. Whose to say the person who put that on wasn’t married? Thus he was not committing a sin when having sex. And because he compared the SHAPE of the condom to Mother Mary? Please, get real. Blasphemy is to deny the existence of God, or claim to be God. I don’t see that any where in here.
The Pharisees had contempt for Jesus because they believed he was blasphemous. Jesus preached that he was equal with, and was the son of the true living God. He also made himself equal with Moses, and profits of the olden day in which the Jewish people strongly believed in, and tried to follow. For this, he was believed to be blasphemous. This… is not blasphemy. This is simple humor. Don’t label one thing something it’s not. This is in no means blasphemy. If you have a problem with it fine… but go somewhere else then. We don’t want to hear your wining.
Seriously? From a religion that thinks it’s okay to kill people who don’t view things in the same way they do, you can’t take a little joke? People like you shouldn’t avoid the internet and stay in your little closed minded boxes. Don’t ruin our fun just cuz you live a life of misery.
Ok, where does it say in the Bible it is okay to kill people who don’t Believe in Jesus, I’m a Christian, and I don’t think Catholics believe it’s okay too kill people either. Are you stupid or just ignorant? P.S. It’s radical muslims that believe that it is okay to kill people that don’t believe what you do.
Luke 19:27 (King James Version)
27But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.
And my other favorite:
Matthew 19:29 (King James Version)
29And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.
Nice misquotes.
Or should I say quoting out of context.
That happens when people only look for one line in a book that looks contradictory and put no effort at all into the rest of the book to see if they’re making a fool of themselves.
And just how exactly are they misquotes? The bible is a blood-drenched story ultimately requiring absolute obedience to an insecure, jealous, mercurial, petty all-around sociopath called Yaweh.
Not to defend or put you down here, this is aimed at everyone arguing on this topic. The only periods in which complete and utter annihilation of non-believers toke place in the Bible is the old Testament. Most of these would only occur when Israel was conquering land, or when Israel was attacked. The one I can think of off the top of my head that was not during war is the story of Elijah. Elijah and a group of “New Believers” slaughtered all of the remaining profits of Baal after testing them. However, in the new testament Christians do not slaughter non-believers at will. And there is reason for this. Israel is under oppression, and in a biblical sense. Jesus has brought the new covenant. Though God is a Jealous God, with the new Covenant, God wants people to choose to follow him, not be forced to. This, along with the gift of forgiveness, is what Jesus died for.
LOL! Total and complete WIN! You, madam, are awesome.
Actually, it’s fail. She didn’t even read to see what the verse referred to, or even who was speaking to whom. She took it out of context to fit her own agenda.
Isn’t that what every Christian does anyway?
-high five-
Hahahaha soooo true
Its radical ‘anyones’ that believe that it is okay to kill people that don’t believe what you do. Ie: that freak and murderer Rotor that got convicted this week.
In the Medieval periods during the Church Reform, if a single word was spoken to a church official that you had said something (Even if it wasn’t true) that was considered to be against God or against the Church, you were immediately taken and tortured, either until you confessed, or died.
the crusades…look it up
It’s also radical Christians who believe it’s okay to kill non believers or ‘not the same as me’ believers in the name of God. You may be a good little christian, but not a good little scholar. Remember the Crusades? The French Wars of Religion? The Thirty Years War? Google them if you don’t, fascinating read. But, you’ll probably think that one side is blashphemous anyway, though you won’t have a clear understanding of the word.
As for the picture: HILARIOUS!
It’s also radical Christians who think it’s okay to kill non believers or ‘not the same as me’ believers in the name of God. You may be a good little Christian, but clearly not a good little scholar. Remember the Crusades? The Thirty Years War? The French Wars of Religion? Google them if you don’t know, fascinating read. But sadly, you’ll just probably think that one side is blashphemous, even though you don’t really know what that means.
As for the picture: Friggin HILARIOUS!!
The radical ones only though. My grandmother is a very peaceful Muslim lol
bible? have you ever heard of the inquisition?
Now, I agree with Lisa two comments (or is it one?) above me. Lighten up and don’t be so “You will go to hell for laughing at this!” I’m Christian too, but you don’t see me saying people can’t laugh at things.
One thing I’m confused about is Illaxius’s comment about a religion that thinks it’s okay to kill people. I don’t know what religion you’re talking about, but I’m guessing Christianity. Umm, from what I’ve learned in my church, killing somebody is NOT good. In fact it’s a sin. There may be some…extreme people out there doing stuff like that, but don’t group everybody in the religion with some of the crazies.
No one said anyone was going to hell. But I, as a Christian, am not going to laugh at a picture of a condom that looks like Jesus’s mother if I believe he exists. You wouldn’t laugh at a picture of your grandma like that if your dad was in the room, would you? It’s just common sense. I don’t see the humor because the Virgin Mary is a religious icon to me, an important part of my history, and not everything that people stick on the internet with a witty caption is actually funny. Sorry if my radical views are scaring you all, but this pic isn’t amusing to me.
And the thing is, in the Commandments, it says not to kill, but the Jews killed people in WARS for God. Now, isn’t it illegal to kill in the United States? Yes! Do U.S. citizens go overseas and shoot down other human beings in the name of their country? Yes! So where’s the contradiction here? In religion? Or in humanity?
“You wouldn’t laugh at a picture of your grandma like that if your dad was in the room, would you?”
Heck yes, I would. He would too. For that matter, she would have as well.
I would, too, as would my father, heck, even I’ve even seen my beloved Grams dare to laugh at pictures of herself!
Amen, Brian! Er…whathaveyou.
Brian, I agree. This would be a Thanksgiving Day topic in our family for the next 20 years.
ok, so you wouldn’t laugh at this, doesn’t mean you can judge other peoples opinions on what makes it funny. you think its in bad taste and its disrespectful then stop looking at it?
actually i WOULD laugh, it would be even more funny than the mary pic!!!!
Ruin your fun by enacting a Consitutional right to freedom of religion? I’m sorry, Hitler. We’ll laugh. Don’t put us in the chambers! If someone’s living a “life of misery” because they don’t like seeing their religions icons subject to immature jokes, you need to go look up the word “misery” because what you just said made no sense and you, sir, have failed. There’s a huge difference between “close minded” and “offended” So if I put a picture of a condom on the internet that looked just like your mother or daughter or wife, you have no right to be insulted, correct?
1 Godwin point!
I knew this would occur!
A condom is nothing more than latex. It’s just as sacreligious to compare a religious figure to toast… lol get it,,, jesus and bread…
however, normal latex u wear on your hands as gloves or play with as a bollon, not on your penis for protect sex, andf the fact that this is on mary is awful.
There was an apparently little known movement called the protestant reformation that disagrees with that statement. There’s 95 theses up in this now, kids.
Remember the ‘grilled cheese Virgin Mary’ that was purchased by, I believe, Golden Palace for a pretty penny or two? Now that’s a bread joke…a delicious bread and cheese joke…
OMG, I want a grilled cheese now. Thy will be done, Grilled Cheese Virgin Mary.
Genius!
No he didn’t. He didn’t exist.
are you serious?? do you know ANYTHING???? there is absolutely, no doubt, that he existed. ANY historian, christian or non-christian, will be able to tell you that jesus existed. there is more historical evidence for the existence of jesus than the existence of ANY other historical figure.
it’s not a question of whether or not he existed, it’s a question of whether or not he was a lunatic.
Wow, your ignorance of the history of your own religion is truly awe inspiring.
There is no mention of Jesus in any of the Roman texts of the time, or of Christians until almost 100 years after his supposed death. The first mention of Jesus is from a very inaccurate history written by a convert named Josephus in 70 AD. Pontius Pilate and the Herod mentioned in the New Testament didn’t actually rule at the same time. The geography of the books of the New Testament is so bad that the writers had obviously never lived in the region, and probably had never even visited the area. And the big census of “the whole world” ordered by Cesar, which caused Mary to give birth in Bethlehem? Never happened. For that matter Jesus didn’t live in Nazareth, since no one lived in that site until 350 AD. It was a cemetery at the time, “Jesus the Nazarene” is a mistranslation of “Jesse, the Branch” (the inheritor of the prophet Jesse) by someone unfamiliar with Aramaic idioms.
“ANY other historical figure.”
Sorry matt, I think there is a bit more evidence for the existence of at least a few historical figures, such as Abraham Lincoln, Julius Cesar, Sun Tzu, or Marco Polo, than there is for Jesus.
I’m sorry Brian but I don’t think that Matt had said his religion at all in that post.
You’re right, Blargle. This small oversight obviously invalidates BrianB’s entire point.
I just want to say… I think I am in love with you!
I’m sorry, but Jesus did exist. He was a lunatic, but did exist.
im sure he was real and he wasnt a lunatic. anyone who thinks that is a lunatic themselves.
what he was was a magician
i just shat bricks,i’m in the phase where i can’t tell whether this guy is trolling or is just a plain moron
Ah, it’s so good to be Buddhist, where there’s no such thing as a sacrilege. I could stick a Buddha statue in the bottom of my toilet and it wouldn’t matter. For all I care, I agree with atheism and say that sacrilege is a victimless crime.
Ah yeah, funny pic.
Amen!!
calm down.. jesus wasn’t real !
A lot of people have died for their beliefs. Not just Jesus. A lot of people have died for their religious beliefs.
:: sniffle :: someone said mean things about somebody else, how awful. Wasn’t part of him dying; the gift of freewill? I exercise that in saying this picture is hilarious!
What if it was married sex? That is totally legal in the eyes of the Lord and even the Lord would laugh!
There are a lot of things wrong with this statement. If you knew anything of the bible, you would know that even wearing a cross around your neck is “blasphemy”( http://www.mechon-mamre.org/p/pt/pt0220.htm#2 – for a little more information regarding my statement..).
It’s a picture. Lighten up. =)
Three words, Nancy DeVita.
‘Degustibus. Non. Disputandum.’
Translated from Latin: ‘No accounting for taste.’
In other words, this is hilarious.
“The man died for his beliefs”.. could be said about many more Islamists than Christians….
I thought it was a plastic bag!
Well if Joseph had used one today’s society would be a WHOLE lot different!
For virgin use only…
Eww… is that used!?
Is that a used condom in a classroom?
Amazing… of all the talk about blasphemy and who’s a good Catholic or not, you are the only person to make the same observation I did: that guy used a condom in a well lit CLASSROOM!! I think that’s way more shocking than comparing it to a photo of Mary… what do you think, student or professor?
Wouldn’t have helped her anyway.
She didn’t need help. She needed it when she watched her son suffer to death. As a parent, I couldn’t imagine that. Not funny.
Jesus would have laughed.
Ahahahaha, you’re so funny. Cheer up a bit, there is no reason why you should treat everything so seriously.
Gosh, some people are just born offended.
Yeah. I’m sure everyone who disagrees with this was “born offended”. It’s not like they were having a fine day with no offenses and then saw something offensive and got mad about it.
How do you know they take “everything” seriously? Have you followed that person around and seen that they’re constantly offended? What if this is the only thing that offended them all day?
But yeah, guys, don’t get offended at anything. Not one single thing, because if you do, efrel will blow it out of proportion and insult you. It’s ok. He’s just easily offended.
Is it just me, or is Miirkaelisaar offended at efrel’s comment? Efrel’s accusation of some people constantly being offended seems pretty valid after Miirkaelisaar got MORE offended after reading it.
you do realize you just proved eferel right, right?
Are you in a friggin’ classroom?
is that in a classroom?
O_o
“Wouldn’t have helped her anyway.”
Brilliant!
Dumb.
Um, why are you in a class room with a used condom?
she is the living example that abstinence is only 99.9% effective
it was a MIRACLE
Don’t fear god’s love – he’s only gotten one chick pregnant so far!
Really, is the background all people can think about?
God should have used that with her
Your parents should have used it with you.
perhaps nancy needs to calm the fuck down and go to a website that is more her speed.
“Do unto others as you would have done unto you.”
Ah the line that EVERY Christian forgets. Especially when it comes to stupid shit like this! Its just a simple coincidence for crying out loud! Its not like they had a picture of the virgin Mary next to them and thought “Hmm.. I wonder if I can make a condom look like this.” (Who knows. With people these days I wouldn’t put it past them.) But seriously. If you can’t take the joke. Don’t come to the site.
Why would you take a picture of a used condom unless there was a reason like this?
because condoms are the poo!!!!!!!
You should have used your brain. Oh wait… you put your faith where your brain used to be.
For the love of God, I hope this is a Sex Ed. class…
ooooooooooo….
1 ticket, plz…..
hey, why they stuck the tables to the ceiling?
OH MY…..goodness.
Im amused it got to now before anyone pointed it out
***cue angry catholics***
“It’s time to suit up!” *Looks down* Oh My God! My condom looks like the virgin Mary… I guess we can’t use it eh?
After this picture was taken, Catholics lined up to pray to it.
Quite ironic!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareidolia
It’s why humans see faces and such in things like oil stains and toast and used condoms. It’s not religious. It’s not a miracle. It’s just that our brains are good at recognizing certain shapes even when we’re wrong about it.
I just checked out that site, and I found it really interesting. So, thanks! It makes a lot of sense.. Much more sense than religious “icons” miraculously appearing on food, walls, and other inanimate objects..
I did not find the picture as funny as i found your comments. This includes most everyone. Why on earth would you argue with someone over a blog? A blog that I am sure you knew might be offensive. Religion is a personal thing. Why you would bring it here of all places…… i will never know. I am surrounded by idiots. The End.
You forgot to capitalize an I. Proof-reading ftw. Don’t assume your superior or your bound to be proved wrong by a tittle
.
You’re, not your, on two occasions.
Title, not tittle.
Don’t correct another person’s grammar or spelling unless yours is perfect.
Very sacreligious.
I’m not usually uptight about condom jokes and all, but thats not cool.
A used condom in a classroom compared to the Virgin Mary just makes me feel sickish.
Not done in good taste . . . but ironic, hence it’s perfect for this site!
Awesome! And to those of you who are offended…for hell’s sake pull your head out and live a little bit! It’s a funny picture, not some bleeding martyr saying he’s Jesus resurrected and crucifying himself again. Good hell.
BTW….yes, I believe that IS in a classroom and THAT, is one helluva pic!
condoms… 99.9% effective
Jesus=0.1%
Condoms are only 92/93 percent effective…
99.9% + 0.1% =/= 100%
Um…yes, it does. o_O
The Blessed Virgin Mary brand of Condoms!
“Because even Abstinence isn’t 100% Effective”.
B Diz, i don’t know what you’re talking about, because that’s exactly what I’m doing.
Oh my GOD! That looks like the Catholic school I went to!
Maybe its Father Boyboffers’ classroom.
Does anyone else notice the picture is in a classroom? I wonder what they teach in there.
Ev’ry sperm is sacred,
Ev’ry sperm is great!
If your sperm is wasted
God gets quite irate.
Ev’ry sperm is sacred
Ev’ry sperm is good
Ev’ry sperm is needed
In your neighbourhood!!!!
The classroom’s upside down because the guy’s holding the condom hanging from his hand. How many condoms will stand upright on their own? And I’m guessing this was following the old ‘put the condom on the banana’ lesson =P So the situation’s probably pretty innocent!
A dried up used one! UGH!
I say screw the condom JUST GO FOR IT!
And hence, the Duggars began the first of the 19…!
“According to my beliefs, this is racist.”
Yeah well, according to my beliefs, STFU.
WHY! do you have a condom in a class room?
Health class. Duh.
Many quotes here and references to Catholicsor Christians killing those who doen’t believe.
Man was created with free will; meaning God allows us to make our own decisions, However, We have used this “gift” to use it against our fellow man in many perverted ways. We can’t blame God or the church for what a few ignorants “believe” to be the right way to deal with non-believers or those who aren’t in agreement with the majority.
Maaaaaan, I shoulda pulled out…
Well arent you people respectful of others religion! Im a Christian, and i believe this is kind of funny. ALTHOUGH some of you people should try to be a little nicer towards people who may not think of this as funny.
I don’t know about you but I’m more interested to know why there’s a guy holding up a used condom in an empty classroom.
@Miirkaelisaar
You forget that as a good Christian, you must be tolerant.
asshole
I think it’s God’s way of apologizing to Mary. “Ooops? Should have invented these sooner, huh?” Yah yah, condemn me to hell for cracking jokes about a condom. I have morals, but that doesn’t mean I’m not going to laugh at the irony of seeing a Virgin Mary-shaped prophylactic. After all the other places people have seen her, I’ll bet she’s even laughing at this one.
Why dont you just think that he is a good catholic good enogh to see virgin mary everywhere even in a condom??
To any hardcore Catholic, wouldn’t the condom itself be offensive, whether it had a Rorschach-like effect or not? Whatever. Responding multiple times to a random photo joke one found online and getting all worked up about other people’s opinions is a colossal waste of time and energy. Get over it!
You have a small penis.
like Mary is a God or something? Stop being such polytheists
It’s funny because a person who had child without sex is on a device for having sex without child.
Having sex WITH child is a whole other can of worms on a religious-themed thread…
Has anyone noticed it looks like this person is in a school?!
rolfsauce – they are in school, hahahahaha
plz people calm down if he wants to de an asshole on the internet let him hey far be it from us to prevent him from burning in hell
looks like someone was only able to fill in half a condom… HAH HAH
Blasphemy is a victimless crime!
Hey! That’s clever. (And it’s also used, it looks like the Artist didn’t have to roll it down very far, huh ? )
Ironically, all you religious people are on this site knowing that it’s not the “Purest” Thing..
So if she gets pregnant even after wearing a condom does it count as an immaculate conception?
okay im cathlic always was always will be. but come on people just chill out. yeah sure some might think its gross,stupid,funny,ect but really look at your selves your all going crazy over this. has any one stopped and wondered what a little computer magic could do? And also if you don’t like it know one is telling you to comment it’s only your self and the key board. It’s just a picture don’t worry to much about it.
Um… did no one notice they were comparing the shape of the condom to a man made statue? NOT the actual Virgin Mary?
