It figures that the first posting from my offspring would be about chocolate. He’d eat a full size chocolate elephant if you gave it to him.
Bwahahaha! I needed that.
And yes, I would have no qualms chowing down on a chocolate Jesus, provided the Jesus was dark or white chocolate, but that’s only because I’m not a big fan of milk chocolate.
Mmm. Chocklit Jeezus.
Well, if it was in the shape of a regular healthy child, it would be dismembered anyway by the time I’d finished, so no, I don’t think I’d have a problem with that shape.
My turn for the coffee-on-monitor decoration…
i love it!
Every Easter we would have a chocolate cake shaped like a lamb and were instructed that it represented the body of Christ, which bothered me at one point, but more because of the mixed imagery than the other implications.
New Cocoa Christ Crispies Stay Crunchy in Milk for Three Days Then Rise Right Out of the Bowl!!!
“I don’t care if it rains or freezes
as long as I have my chocolate Jesus…”
Yes. YES. I’d eat a chocolate Jesus. No problem.
Heck, I’d even consider eating him and a piece of devil’s food cake in the same sitting.

Hey, welcome to Kid Czarcasm!
I’d definitely go for it if it were a Buddy Christ figure, that’d be too cool not to eat. I’m not a huge chocolate fan otherwise, so a more plain depiction wouldn’t be as interesting to me.
Last year I carved “The Agony of Christ” on the smooth back of a Hershey bar for Easter, and then we shared that around the house - it wasn’t a store-bought graven image, but does it count?
I would need a filling for my Chocolate Jesus - Peanut Butter, Caramel, Almonds, Rice Crispies.
How about a white chocolate Jesus with liquid cherry center?
And a belated welcome, Kid Czarcasm! Are you as cute as your name?
My eldest sister, who teaches at a religious school, was given a white chocolate “Last Supper” bar by one of her students’ parents for Easter! She gave it to me because she wasn’t comfotable about eating it, and since my husband and I thought it was a tad creepy, we left it in the back seat of our car on a hot day and let it melt a little to obscure the details befroe we ate it. Its one thing to it the head off of a bunny, another to nosh on the noggin of the Christian savior (Judas, wouldn’t mine so much…)
Humming Tom Waits’ “Chocolate Jesus”

Interestingly enough, in some of the Bubble Gum machines around here, the kind that dispense the cheesy crappy toys, there are little toy Buddha figurines to play with.
This bothers me on a whole different level. I am not religious, but I try to be respectful. Just because where I live is 99% Christian, you don’t think the few token 1% Other Religion might wander by and see the plastic Buddha’s for sale for 50 cents and be offended. Buddha as a toy. You don’t see Ganesh or Shiva as toys. Buddha may be cute, chubby , but he ain’t no toy. It’s just disrespectful.
I cannot imagine in Bombay or Katmandu’s Bubble Gum Machine’s there being little plastic Jesus’ for sale for the kiddies to play.
I could not eat a chocolate Jesus, unless it was a boxed set of Jesus, Allah, Buddha and Shiva. Might as well offend all the Heavens.
And Jesus would have to have a nutty inside, Allah’s would have to be filled with liquer. Buddha, meat and Shiva, uhhhh, just chocolatey goodness.
Of course there’s the fact that no one actually knows what Jesus looked like. We do know what some medieval artist’s rendering looked like.

Someone’s been reading the online comic “goats,” haven’t they?

You might be surprised. Take a look about three-quarters of the way down this page, http://www.fishbaymercantile.com/asp/product.asp?page=funand.html
The hand of gods
Turn your fingers into powerful Hindu gods with these Handy Hindu Finger Puppets. Brahma, Ganesh, Garuda and Kali are each accurately portrayed in firm rubber with all the arms, heads, tongues and wings that make them so special. Each puppet is 1-1/2" to 2" tall and fits snugly on adult fingers.
I’ll also note that when I was in Taiwan in 1999 it seemed to me like Hello Kitty was well on her way to being considered a minor deity there…

**I’d eat the Chocolate Jesus. I’d eat him crucified (that’s how I initially pictured it). I’d eat it on a train. I’d eat it in the rain. I’d eat it with a goat. I’d eat it in a boat. I’d eat it here or there. I’d eat it anywhere.In fact, I want one now. **
Oh, I get it. Instead of green eggs and ham, red aches and “Him”! :eek: :rolleyes:
In a heartbeat.
Of course, I’d eat pretty much anything chocolate.
