A Christmas stamp depicting a Hindu couple worshipping baby Jesus has been criticised as "disrespectful" but Royal Mail has refused to withdraw it.

It seems as if every other day yet another group seeks to take offence where none was intended.
The picture as shown in the article doesn't even show any 'worshipping' that I can see.
I think it's time I got offended every time I see an image of someone NOT marked with an outward sign of their religion - after all, it must be intended to offend the rest of us.

No offence to believers in any of the faiths, but in my humble opinion, relegion only seeks to control and divide people, never to unite them.

Not sure that it always 'seeks' - but it does seem to be a common outcome.

I think that maybe I will be offended by the letter between "T" and "V" today, so I would respectfully ask that no person here posts anything containing that letter.
