They weren't targeting the Catholics. It's a joke that makes people laugh and by making it a controversial joke, it was more popular.

There's no need for that type of juvenile behavior. Please be charitable when engaging in dialogue. Your brother in Christ, Tito Xanadu/Xavier,

That was a good comment up until the very last sentence.

There’s no need for that type of juvenile behavior.

Please be charitable when engaging in dialogue.

Your brother in Christ,

Tito

Also, you yet again wish us to concede to your assertion that it is "reasonable" for modern society to object Catholicism; yet, you've made no argument whatsoever as to why such a thing is "reasonable" other than to demonstrate for the nth time the very extent of not only your ineptitude in conducting (let alone, formulating) arguments but also the sheer magnitude of your own stupidity. Thus, any further communication with you (unless, of course, you finally decide to demonstrate some aspect of human rationality and not simply render yet again a superb immitation of the beast) would be tremendously futile.

But your religion is intolerant whether or not you exist, whether or not people worship it, whether or not people pay it any mind. Do you see the non-exclusive relationship I presumed was already obvious? It is not simply because your religion is intolerant that David relieved himself on your savior's likeness, but because it represents little to no value to his fictional character. Here, I'll settle this once and for all in a way that simultaneously clears David's actions and relieves your stress: Curb Your Enthusiasm isn't real. It's a scripted (often improvised) television program that is set in a world similar to our reality, but slightly off-kilter. David isn't really playing himself, the woman portraying his wife on the program is not his real-life wife (although now ex-wife). The events, although inspired by reality, never actually occurred. Possibly in this Jewish ethnocentric (though self-deprecating) fictional land called "Hollywood," Jesus doesn't represent what he does in our reality. Honestly, I can't argue any longer it's been fun but I'll have to throw in the towel and begin packing for communist China, comrade. Keep fighting the good fight Tito. I hope we can remain friends, nay Brothers! You are intolerant, yes. But your religion is intolerant whether or not you exist, whether or not people worship it, whether or not people pay it any mind.

Reread what you wrote, you made a direct reference to my defense: <i>Tito, you are an intolerable, racist disgrace to your own religion which is already so disgraceful that people find it comical to piss on your savior for cheap entertainment value.</i> So because I am intolerant that is why Larry David relieved himself? Again, you're having problems with logic. X,

Tito, you are an intolerable, racist disgrace to your own religion which is already so disgraceful that people find it comical to piss on your savior for cheap entertainment value.

So because I am intolerant that is why Larry David relieved himself?

Again, you’re having problems with logic.

What? When did I defend Larry David? I never said he wasn't intolerant; the man is as rigid and prone to bigotry as you. Actually, I bet you'd make good friends given your shared personality defects. My point had less to do with David and more to do with your proclaimation “If you don’t like it, move to Communist China. I’m sure they welcome your opinion.” That statement is NOT the same as voicing defense of your faith. And listen to YOUR logic— just because David has a view in opposition to yours does NOT instantly validate your argument. There you go again being so incredibly narrow-minded... And to e.: You're entirely correct— I do stand intolerant of those who are intolerable, thanks for your reiteration of my argument; you seemed to have managed to comprehend the main idea I conveyed. And here is the presentation of the argument I neglected to cover in detail (I thought it quite obvious) to which all are free to reasonably object: Acceptance of God/Jesus via Catholicism is essential to obtain salvation when you pass on. Any competent individual thinking with their own free will (this excludes you two) is reasonable in thinking the above is completely ludicrous, highly offensive to modern society, and an enormous waste of time. *How am I doin' boys? Workin' towards my second strike or what! “I’m intolerable for voicing my defense of my faith, but Larry David is not intolerant because he relieves himself on God?”
