Eh, not so much offend myself, but I feel the need to censor myself. I'm agnostic and I will occasionally make Jesus jokes, or just generally make light of Christianity in general. I personally think it's funny BECAUSE it's so taboo and personally, I think if there was a God, he'd learn to have a sense of humor and agree with some of my views.
BUUUUUUT, I have some Christian friends, and they shouldn't have to put up with my ****. It will just slip, and I'll apologize. I have no problem whatsoever with my friends beliefs and have no desire to "convert" them like many non Christians, I just go for shock sometimes.
... I guess that more answers "Do you offend others." But I do remember making some comments... not even religious, and doing so in a very stream of consciousness type of manner and afterwards being like, "Whoa, that was a bit much." Doesn't offend me, but would offend the **** out of your grandma.

Why the fark not?!?
The world has been putting up with that gawd/hayseuss cr@p for years!!
Keep it up!! You know anything jokewise along the lines of...
"Santa, the Easter Bunny, and God walk into a bar..." ???
no, I don't offend myself. I tend to like myself very much. I think I'm awsome.
yes, I'm a conceited b@stard, but I don't really mind.

Since we seem to be into pointing out the obvious (
) I dont think he meant the "Yes?" to be a reply to your post

It's true. Xtianity has been shoved down our throats for a long time, and if someone forces their viewpoints down my throat, I'll share mine. My friends and I will have debates/discussions on the issues of religion, but generally my thoughts are, by whatever means if you are a good person, I'm down.
They don't try to convert me, and strangely don't think I'm going to hell (they don't know me very well, do they?
)... we get along fine.
