[edit] Verifiability

Many of these are not cited, and sound like something made up after school one day. I would like to ask, that in good time, that these be cited. Or they may, eventually, be removed. Until(1 == 2) 13:10, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Have we become this terrified that all we can do is make fun of Christians? I'm all for it, but let's make sure fair is fair.

[edit] Proposed merger with "List of ethnic slurs"

I'd propose that this list be merged with the List of ethnic slurs to make a single "List of ethnic and religious slurs". There is too much overlap to have separate lists. Many of the listed terms there are religious slurs in part or whole. Kyke, goy, Haji, and Kafir (just to name a few) and the like are all religious or partly religious in nature. Likewise on the this page Jewish American Princess, Kike, and Hun plainly have ethnic components, and Mackeral Snapper and Papist in the U.S. in the past were usually used primarily towards Irish and Italian immigrants and in the U.K. were usually used with reference to Irish.Mamalujo (talk) 23:31, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
