Seen on Facebook. Real or sarcasm? I honestly don’t know. I think the Jesus is bothering me if it’s real. Seems he should be the hot blond Jesus. Or maybe that would be sarcasm. You just can’t tell anymore. [![](https://i.imgur.com/w1kFqQQ.jpg) ](https://i.imgur.com/w1kFqQQ.jpg) ---

True. I’m used to seeing the crucified Jesus in a loincloth, though. Although, I wonder if, say, a Renaissance artist tasked with painting a non-glorified (my grade school teacher, Sister Rita Ann, used that descriptor for crucifixion scenes that bowdlerized the result of the pre-crucifixion torture and it stuck with me) crucifix would have used a circumcised Jesus. ---

“A woman’s patriotic duty to create sons”. So, in 18 years, we’ll have the same as China got with their one-child policy: 70% males. Great, that’s all this country needs: a whole generation of incels. Oh well, the military will need cannon fodder by then. ---

Besides the presumption of innocence, and because we are dealing with an administration that ignores due process… We are in the territory where the authoritarian is telling us to choose the worse options. (Here it should go a video clip I can’t find now; it was about a woman that despised the Nazis in the Netherlands for making her choose between protecting Jews and to follow the new antisemite laws. -She was against those laws, so she was punished for protecting Jews back then. -) ---
