This is wrong though. Some of the best and most vicious parodies (I dare say most of the best, even) come from people who dearly love what they are ripping to shreds, and the mockery is a way to express how deeply they know their subject. Same way you probably call some of your friends by nicknames that are demeaning when taken out of context, but in context imply affection. Mockery doesn't come from ignorance, that's hatred - which sometimes leads to mockery, but not always.
He isn't talking about parody or poking fun at your buddies. He is talking about vicious mockery with the intent to hurt people. I don't think he is complaining about brilliant, loving parody of religion.
