Uproar over "Sexualised Jesus" picture

But that cat don’t love him back. He’s clearly thinking, “Okay, you may be the son of god and all, but I still don’t want to be picked up and snuggled!”

My brother once told me about a T-shirt he had seen, for “The Lord’s Gym”. Their tagline was, “His pain, your gain!”

Watching us to make sure we don’t masturbate?

Ha!

I’m not sure the United Church of Canada has an official position on masturbation - no, wait, let me put that a different way…

It hasn’t come up in our - no, that’s no good, either…

I would be very surprised if a church denomination that affirms and welcomes the LGTBQ2S+ communities has any associations with masturbation other than as a normal, healthy part of human sexuality.

There’s also a comic I saw somewhere which has JC face the Olympians and kick their collective asses.

There is what I suppose was intended to be a nimbus behind her head (except it looks more like a monstrance) but yeah, could be any generic “hot female saint” illustration. No Marian iconographic references.

I have seen sexied-up versions of Our Lady of Guadalupe that clearly represent as such and I’ll leave the search as an exercise for the students… who may keep it to yourselves, OK?

You can certainly buy an interesting swimsuit.

That painting might prompt a few desperate souls to come to Jesus.

What’s wrong with that?

The last time a painting of Jesus came out of Spain, it didn’t end well.

I guess nobody caught the reference?

You’re thinking of Ceiling Cat.

As several have noted. sexualized Jesus is nothing new. But metrosexualized Jesus? Sculpted beard? Shaped and waxed brows? When I first opened the link, I thought it was a gag, so over the top is the “French cologne ad” vibe.

Every sperm is sacred.

The hot saint is traditionally Mary Magdalene, not Mary the Mother of God. The pre-repentant Magdalene was an excuse for men to paint naked breasts for centuries. These days the Magdalene has been scripturally separated from some other biblical women with whom she was conflated (most of the New Testament women seem to be named Mary), and of course men can paint naked women all they want without excuse, so it’s no longer the fashion.

Only if it’s consensual.

:wink:

Now we need a painting entitled “Cats are Indifferent to Jesus”.

After all, they are Descendants of Bastet.

What about Treesus? The Evergreen was cut down for your furniture sins.

Well what man doesn’t like to pet a plump pussy?

The only thing that surprises me about this story is that the painting looks so ordinary for a “painting of Jesus”. I guess Spanish at traditions are different.

There was one of those car customizing shows, where the TV team fixes some average joe’s car.

Anyway this dude this one week must have felt his true mission on TV wasn’t to get his car fixed, but proselytize. Every time he was on camera he had some other Jesusy short. (got jesus?) But the point is one shirt has Jesus sitting with all the DC (and maybe Marvel) superheroes, and they were all deferential to Him.

Surprised no one’s mentioned Buddy Christ yet. Here’s a Jesus who will call you an Uber the next morning and promise to text you in a day or two:

Cats always like to be in control. Cat loves Jesus may be more accurate:
