Sometimes in a debate about religion someone will tell me I should be respectful of their or someone else's religious beliefs. Usually this comes as the result of joking .. making fun of their religion. Example: Someone once told me they thought it ridiculous that Mohammed jumped up to heaven from a rock in Jerusalem. I replied that Jesus is said to have ascended into the clouds from almost the same spot. This was taken as some good old fashioned ribbing -- which it was but then I was told that I was being insensitive to their religious beliefs.

So what gives? What do you all think? Is it insensitive and/or disrespectful to make fun of say, the Mormons belief that Jesus came to the Americas? Should I just shut up. Maybe religion and politics are not good conversations to have -- at least around sensitive people -- certainly not to inlaws.

I find religion to be funny, hilarious and worth laughing at.
