What person would make that? Mapplethorpe?

[DaGimp]

But not the people that worship the icon of a man being tortured to death, while they symbolically practice ritual cannibalism. They have higher standards.

[udonkey]

Hahahaha!

[Chef Jim]

Well I guess it's settled. Jesus was African.

If you've ever drank his blood you'd know that dude was wasted!!! (inspired by Peter Griffin)

I think the critics are old biddies who don't get any and that's all they think about.

Set to low. I was raised Catholic, I know what the Holy Eucharist and the Crucifix mean in Catholic doctrine.

 

I also know the Roman cross was a torture device, and partaking of someone's "body and blood" is cannibalistic...and that the crucifix in question in this thread is consistent with Christian iconography from the High Middle Ages. People simply have little clue about the history, heritage, and content of their religious beliefs.

I heard they were equally upset about the DD's on the statue of Mary.

[bbb]

Seriously, who would make that statue, and who would put it in a church?

[Just Jack]

The answers are right in the article....

 

who would make that statue

Janet Jaime

 

who would put it in a church

Rev. Philip Seeton

[PushthePile]

Now we know the Church's stance on priapism.

[Marv's Neighbor]

Well I guess it's settled. Jesus was African.

I thought He was born in Hawaii?

[ExiledInIllinois]

I thought He was born in Hawaii?

 

No. He was born July 17, 1980 in East Lansing, Michigan...

You are again, as usual, exactly right on this.

Beauty, like faith is in the eye or heart of the beholder.

Observe Botticelli's "Birth of Venus" - an unquestioned masterpiece of the Renaissance - and note that the supreme master artist of line completely ignores the natural proportions of the human body. Her neck is far too long as are her arms and legs for his Venus to be representative of a real woman's form. Her shoulders slope in a decidedly unnatural manner, yet - the overall effect is that to most... she's beautiful.

Right, as if any of you, given JC's magical powers, wouldn't give yourself a huge crank. I mean once you figure out you can turn water to wine, taking care of Mr Happy is the logical progression.
