Christian… sensibility… Christian… sensibility…
Landru, Help Us…! Landru…! 
Well, I can see how some people might find it to be a tasteless display, but I find it rather sweet.
You would.

Oh, wait…
No, no, throwing a guy to lions isn’t an assault on Christian sensibilities, it’s an assault on Christians.
Where can I order a naked chocolate Mohammed? Think anyone would mind?
Wish he were mine…
(Do-lang-do-lang-do-lang)
whoosh!
Okay then, “somebody throw a copy of Piss Christ on this guy.”
What the hell is this? Why is modern art so patently stupid these days? Argh!
I am not for mocking, in any way, any religious icon but I do believe you have the right to do so if you wish. Christians making death threats because of a chocolate Jesus with his twig and berries hangin out just seems so…hypocritical, on a couple of levels. I wonder how many of those outrage christians went :rolleyes: when the muslims were outraged by a caricature of Muhammad. But a naked Jesus is a reason to threaten someone’s life? Come on… :mad: . If I were a Christian I would be pissed but I wouldn’t go so far as you impinge upon anyone’s 1st Amendment rights just because I don’t like something.
However…Did you know that if you eat 25lbs of chocolate in one sitting you will get high, like you smoked a joint? It’s true! So a giant statute of Jesus ought to really put you out there, maybe high enough to look down on God and say “Hey”
Most people, they’d get locked up before arriving at this point in food wackiness. Wouldn’t they? For their own safety? And maybe ours?
:smack: Sorry.
The Naked Jesus o’ Chocolate™ display has been cancelled. Y’know, if most of the world’s Christians just bothered to follow the Second Commandment (First Catholic Commandment) in the first place, this thing never would have happened. (The Catechism of the Catholic Church, line 2141, states “The veneration of sacred images is based on the mystery of the Incarnation of the Word of God. It is not contrary to the first commandment,” but that still doesn’t explain why most Christians- Catholic and non-Catholic alike- let graven images slide. Then again, that would be difficult, since you wouldn’t be allowed to watch TV, have most products, use money, etc.)
Only if he has a bomb on his head. Then you’ll see what real outrage is, as well as real capitulation.
Hebrew National, of course.
I had a girl friend who was a lapsed Catholic. She said that after puberty, when she knew what it was all about, she would spend those interminable sermons looking at the Jesus figure and imagining the loin cloth slipping, and slipping . . .
I didn’t ask whether she left the church on her own or was asked to leave.
From the video and photos it appears that the chocolate is blooming, so… ew. It makes Naked Jesus look like he’s suffering from some particularly nasty skin condition. Maybe that’s the problem - psoriasis is pretty offensive.
Not to see, to experience.
Well, the church is the bride of christ…
Though, if I was the artist, I’d just be tickled pink. Who cares if people hate your work with a passion, at least they’re passionate about your work. Joe-wine-and apple-painter can’t say that.
Well, 86.9% of Transylvanians are Romanian Orthodox, and as such do believe in the Real Presence. Just sayin’…
Nice idea, but no flying spaghetti monster.
Christians taking offense at something? Who’d a thunk it?
