I have much pity for those who put so much of themselves in their faiths thaqt they are unable to see any humor in it and see those who make innocent jabs as being people actively trying to dismatle said faith. I really think it's indicative of someone never taking stock of their beliefs, and analyzing what really makes sense to them and why. Those who have wholly gone over and decided upon what was actually important in their faith never seem to grow with it, it seems stagnant, and spiritual stagnation don't sound too fun.

Edited to add this quote I found today by Eddie Izzard which I found while trying to see how many other people in thie modern world get upset about percieved blasphemy:

"If you are religious, that's OK, but you've got to keep analysing it, and keep a sense of humour, because without a sense of humour people start dying." Especially if the ones without the sense of humour have stones.
