No, not all of us find them amusing, but like the dem's taking swipes at the repubs and vice-versa, it is acceptable to not like God and organized religion on TFP.
What is NOT acceptable are bigoted statements and personal attacks.
Example:
- I think Catholicism sucks. (acceptable)
- I think Catholics suck. (unacceptable)
There is a subtle but important difference between the two. The first targets a religious belief system while the second targets the individuals who hold that belief.
So while the first is harsh, it is marginally acceptable.
Also, please know that mods don't have a magic formula to judge borderline comments.
What we try to do is judge the spirit of the comment along with what is said and who/what the comment targets.
As a result, I may find the first comment just barely acceptable, while another mod might find it just barely unacceptable.
As for comments attacking God/Jesus personally, while offensive to me, I figure He can take care of himself.

Now, Dead Baby jokes are something Halx just DOESN'T like.
So, since we are guests in his house, they are not allowed.
Personally, I think they're funny, but this isn't my house, so I follow the house rules.
