The nativity scene didn't even frigging happen in the bible, let alone in real life.
I doubt they were even attempting to take the piss out of Christianity. I’m sure it was simply a clumsy attempt at flogging more Sausage rolls and lovely caramel doughnuts.
I was just answering the ops question.

We’re they sausage rolls or their new seasonal version just out which are turkey, bacon and cranberry?
Only 10p more than a regular sausage roll, and very tasty tbf

That's hypocritical.
If people on here think that religion is rubbish. That surely must mean all religions, not just cherry picking those that are easy targets and avoiding, like the plague, any remote criticism of those religions, whose followers are likely to seek violent and fearful retribution.
That's not freedom of speech.
It's oppression !!
Clearly people who do not believe in religion have different beliefs to Christians, Hindus, Sikhs, Muslims, Jews, Buddhists, etc.
I don't agree with taking the 'p*ss' out of any religion or culture, but we have a right to criticise those whose values are incongruent with our own.
Is it a race/faith hate crime to criticise those who we vehemently disagree with?
Are we 'only allowed' to criticise specific religions or cultures, but not others?
If that is the case, then that is discrimination and oppression.

It is now known as a corner beef slice.
Pasty is dead. Sad times.
They're all at it, even shop bought ones are slices now. Travesty.
Used to like cutting it open before warming, to open it up and put my sauce on the filling and close it back up. One of life's simple pleasures. They've taken it from me.

I dislike all religion. Not going for a bite or a reaction, I genuinely hate it all.
My mother has recently started reading the bible, I don't knock her for it, like many she has her reasons and I'm sure won't cause any fuss in the world, like the larger percent of anyone who follows a religion.
All i see is misery. Poverty. War. Shit. Division. Bullshit.

I have this discussion with a Cornish mate of mine ( I am sure he does it to wind me up, but it gives him a little pleasure, so hey ho )
Pasty is a D shape and hand crimped to seal the filling in
A slice is just that, a slice of pastry with fillings

Agree.
Pasties such as Peters corner beef could be opened when cold. Microwave...then open to add sauce..close and eat...just one of them things I've had taken from me and it's upsetting.

It's only different because people give in to the threats and intimidation and the terrible cries of those pathetic words"Islamaphobia" and "racism". Is that the same reason why many "liberals" that I encounter criticise Christianity for "homophobia" but refuse to acknowledge the same for Islam? These kind of double standards only lead to resentment, I'm afraid. And I'm not convinced that the same rights are afforded to other religious minorities in Islamic countries.
This seems to be a fuss over nothing. Greggs must've known that it would cause a tiny stir and they've succeeded in selling more sausgage rolls. I live thousands of miles away from the nearest Greggs but I'm really sodding tempted to fly back for a couple.

Why are Christians offended by it? There's not one single Christian represented in the picture.

The biggest contradiction of our time is liberals defending islam when at heart it is entirely anti liberal
