sure, but I don't believe it's a "Christian" newspaper. The following

Interesting debate, freedom of speech vs. religious sensibilities. To
place it closer to home, to those in the freedom of speech camp, did you
also support Serrano's freedom to display his **** Christ?

I don't understand why it's a "freedom of speech" issue. It's an issue of
Muslim hate-mongers convincing a lot of ignorant peasants that the rules
of Islam should somehow apply to Danes also.

Do Catholics riot & burn every time somebody tells a joke about the Pope?

Don't know. But that fictional story about violence and religion in Northern
Ireland was really interesting. You know the one: Catholics and Protestants
killing each other for a lot of years. Luckily, it never really happened.
Christians arent' violent.
