When you say any other religion, what you really mean is Islam isn’t it. Of course they wouldn’t have used Islamic imagery, and the reason is obvious. This advert has resulted in a minor kerfuffle on twitter, whereas if they had substituted Mohammed for a sausage roll, the repercussions would probably have been very serious.
Any way, all this talk of sausage rolls is making me peckish. Anyone know for a late nite Greggs?

It’s fine, it’s okay to take the piss out of Christianity apparently.

Best way to get the MOST publicity is to cause outrage.
If it was just a photo of a sausage roll, only Stevie R would be interested

Re: Greggs. - Would they take the p*** out of any other
I also happy to see (all) religion an open subject for mirth.
It may well be that Christianity is imagined to be a faith that is tolerant and broad minded enough to deal with a bit of ribbing?
At worst, having a laugh might at it's expense might attract a stern letter from someone in Tunbridge Wells. Is that bad?
We've seen stuff like Life of Brian and Dave Allen, Vicar of Dibley, Father Ted - and a thousand other things for decades, and 'Christian' religious satire for centuries.

Same here , if it offends any Christians then be a Christian and do what Jesus apparently said and forgive them

Indeed.
Look at this comment supposedly from the article (but equally likely made up by some tw*t on the editorial):
"I'm glad Christians kicked off and Greggs apologised," wrote one Twitter user. "No other religion would stand for that nonsense."
So then, Christians / Uncommitteds have to become less tolerant and more uptight - to make it equal. :facepalm: :hehe:

Shame they didn't take the piss out of the islamic religion. Blow a few greggs up round the country in the name of religion and the daily mail would be the funniest read ever. Pretty sure there would be some shit story about the royals first.

I’m catholic and I’m not offended.
But if they’d used an image of Mo, then there would’ve been huge public outcry and the boss of Greggs would be looking over his shoulder for the rest of his life.

Bizarre advert in the first place. Looks like something the muppets on The Apprentice come up with.

Islam doesn't have weird shit like nativity scenes and the people who come up with the idea were probably nominally christian (like most people in the UK) or actually practising Christians. I doubt very much that it was a muslim who created that advert. Taking the piss out of your own culture and beliefs is a lot different to taking the piss out of others.
The nativity scene didn't even frigging happen in the bible, let alone in real life.

It's on the front page of tomorrow's Sun. Greggs will be very disappointed with themselves over this.
The headline is Jesus Crust :hehe:
