    No.  I don't care to change that.

    How do parities and spoofs "honor" Easter or other celebrations of faith?

    They honor them by recognizing them.

    What honor is there by recognizing someone by ridiculing, mocking, and misleading their character?
    Would you feel honored, knowing that in the future, people will mock you and defame your character for thousands of generations?

    I'm not sure but I think most of us can use some mocking and defaming.  When we become so serious and protective we can no longer laugh at ourselves I think we worship our own sensibilities rather than God.   Something like the Mel Brooks was welcomed and enjoyed and really probably aimed at people of faith because trusting in God they are able to have a laugh at themselves.  After all our faith is a personal calling and not just a set of teachings.

    Well, you said it and put it straight.
    You're not sure, but you think.
    Life is filled with comedy without mocking race, religion, people with disabilities, and so on.
    There are tons of comedians who don't need to swear or mock others to be funny.

    I can understand being polite and respecting others.  Comedy is quite another thing.  But once we start multiplying "sacred cows" we create class, lose touch with reality, and end up only worshiping idols.  Because race exists, religion exists, disabilities exist and to pretend somehow they do not is playing a pretend game.  People will always feel uncomfortable with what they are unfamiliar with  I think we can have fun with all those things and more still respect them.  Like without humor ends up being pretty drab.  I don't believe we should take ourselves too seriously because then we might miss some of the absurdity in life.

    Comedy is not quite another thing from being polite and respecting others.
    Comedians, like Jerry Seinfeld, do not need to disrespect race, religion or disabilities to get laughs.
    You don't have to take yourself seriously and I hope you enjoy your life filled with absurdity. 
    Mocking race, religion and disabilities, only shows disrespect and lack of character.
