Does anyone find this offensive? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

My friend goes to a Catholic school and one day during religion class, a kid in his class asked the teacher "Why does Jesus have a 6-pack?" The teacher was showing the class a picture of Jesus and that's when the question came. I don't see where that's offensive but the teacher flipped and gave the kid after school detention. Is that really something to throw a fit over?

I don't know how the kid said it, but it could be that the kid said it in a flippant way. That would be disrespectful not only to Jesus but to the teacher himself. I don't know of a Catholic school teacher who would be that severe if the kid was asking in an innocent and genuine way. None where I went anyway.

no. i think it's pretty funny

WTF.

That is ridiculous. All that teacher had to do was smile, warn him for talking out of turn or whatever, and move on.

depending on how it was said...sarcastically? with a smirk? Also, it is obvious that the kid was shown a pic of Jesus on the cross, that is the only time we have seen Jesus in pics showing his stomach area. That is so disgusting...to think that is all the kid was thinking abt, rather than the fact that our Lord and Savior sacrificed His life for us.
Having gone to Catholic school myself and my two daughters also went, the fact that Catholic schools don't tolerate a lot of inappropriateness from their students...which is good, considering public schools allow kids to get away with so much stuff it's terrible.

I think it was a stupid question and stupidity like that should be punished.

KristinHerreraFan · 07-05-2006, 11:53 PM

wow thats funny

I don't think she punished him because she thought it was wrong, but because he was being kinda disrespectful and rude.

Hollow · 07-05-2006, 11:57 PM

i guess it depends on his manner; if he said it in a smartass or humorous way, then yes, it was very wrong and immature, being in a catholic school.

Central Perk · 07-06-2006, 12:42 AM

I think it's because he uses that ab lounge thing.

yeah, it all depends on how he said it.

When I see the term "six pack," the first thing that comes to mind is six cans of beer. I have no idea how the student came up with the idea. I never think of beer when I think of my Savior. Was this what the student meant? (For your information, I do not drink beer; I just never cared for the taste.)

"six pack".... also refers to really good abs.
