Jesus Was Packing

[cleanskull]

and I don't mean a Glock. This 10 foot tall Iconic Crucifix now hangs in the St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church in Warr Acres, Oklahoma.

Some of the parishioners are a bit upset. Wonder why?

[neilmpenny]

How can he maintain a hard-on with all that bood running? I call bullshit..... blood pressure issues.

[Heavenly Tiger]

OMG! A phallis and skull!

[cleanskull]

The artist? who did this says its all according to traditional Iconic standards. Suppose to show stomach definition and distension. (might be time to call bullshit)

Some parishioners have left over this.

Yeah, the young studs who cannot compete. Bet the old biddies are front and centre both Wednesday night and twice on Sundays.

[snoopydrea]

Wowza.

[Dying Breath]

If this was true he could have speared the Roman Soldiers back....

[Luanne]

Ahhhhhhahahahahahaha. LMAO.

Reminds me of this:

[Dying Breath]

He is Risen.

[1karenhb]

He is Risen.

Yes he has and I was a none believer!

[Luanne]

He is Risen.

LMAO

I don't know about the rest of y'all but I ain't never seen
no stomach look like that on a man. I would have left the
church to and I don't go to church! umm ..wait..forget that
last part.

[Jack-O-Lantern]

wtf???? I'm sorry, the first word that enters my mind is 'sacrilege.' How could they let that hang in a church? It would be more at home at a satanist's gathering.

[Seagorath]

And he's uncircumsized...

Of course you haven't. It was done on purpose and I think it's disgusting. But I'm a believer, so there you go.

[sablegsd]

Idolotry. Bad.

[ichabodius]

I like it.

[Dying Breath]

It might not be that bad but the placard underneath calls the work "Resurrection"

[cindyt]

I like it.

You would.

[opheliahardin]

I wonder if they have artwork of the Second Coming?

[cachluv]

Is there even anything else in that picture besides a huge penis?

[PurrPurr]

Holy shyte...

[Nelliebean]

I didn't know Jesus was the perky type.

[SomeChick]

I didn't know Jesus was the perky type.

Now ya do.

[Metal Mel]

And he's uncircumsized...

I'm so going to hell.....I laughed....

Seriously though - while I don't mind giggling at the photo (as in a FAIL context), that really has no place hanging in a church.

I can laugh at my religion, but there's a time and place and that's definitely not the place.

ETA: After reading some local news articles about this, I found the following reference that the crucifix is stated to have been based on.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Damiano_cross

While it changes my opinion somewhat, I still think that their iconic representation is just a little too detailed, and it could have been done so that the shape didn't look so obvious, as it is in the original icon.

[ichabodius]

The original one had a giant saline injected wang and nutsack too!

[Nessa]

I had to look for a second to see what everyone else is seeing. I guess I don't have a dirty mind. I think all those giant crucifixes are freaky looking. It's kinda like they hang them up to keep the kiddies in line. The scariest one I've seen was in Rothenburg, Germany. It was just weird. I'll try and find a pic.

[davidbrown]

My god, that thing is HUGE!!

The crucifixion did not become common in art until all who had seen a real one had died off.-CS Lewis

[King Cryo-le]

His chest also resembles a pair of female legs spread wide open. (never seen a male chest drawn like that : one continuous line)

[PurrPurr]

Found something else of interest too...

[cleanskull]

There was another article in the paper today. The artist is going to tone down the contrast of the ab area. She did not mean for it to appear the way it did.

[Dying Breath]

LOL.. the article in the paper this morning said she "never meant to put a pee pee on jesus"...

[Sam]

OMG! All you Blasphemers!

It's no surprise that all this is within a Catholic church after hearing of what they've been going through with the pedo perverted priests.

And he's uncircumsized...

And he's Jewish.
Uncircumsized and Jewish?
That's not right.
Gosh. No wonder why they're leaving.

And he's also wearing those big basketball shorts.
Has Christ gone ghetto?

[jeca]

I had to look at that for a good ten minutes before I could see how it could be anything other than a giant pecker. lol

Thats what I thought! I mean what else could it be? A kidney?

LMAO

I'm pretty sure that one stained glass pic of Jesus with a risen penis is Photoshopped.

[Jack'sGirl]

I.......uh.......

Oh nevermind. I can't have a complete thought while reading this thread. I'm too busy laughing my ass off.

Metal Mel, save me a seat next to you, 'cuz I'm going to hell, too.

[ppepper]

Yeah you guys laugh, Jesus suffered on that cross for 6 hours and died for your sins.

[jaylene]

I don't think the issue of Jesus dying is in the least funny.
The subject is this ridiculous painting and how it can be
nothing else but what it looks like. We all have our own opinions of course.

You really need to read the rest of the post before preaching to the rest of us.

Y'all really need to stop quoting posts just to finger waggle:

I'm probably going to end up posting a forum-wide announcement about this and incorporating it into the rules, but please listen:

Quoting a comment that you think is totally out of line or offensive only gives legs to that comment. It doesn't matter if you quote it to say, "Shame on you," or whatever. What you are doing is taking the comment and doubling the number of places it is written. Then someone else sees it and quotes it and now you have the offending comment in three times as many places as it was originally. And so on.

And the more something is repeated, the more it sinks in. So if someone writes, "All Greek men are slimy criminals," and you are a Greek man that takes offense, almost all you are accomplishing by quoting the remark is legitimizing it. And the more ridiculous the original comment, the less helpful it is to quote it.

If someone says an individual deserved a disease and you quote him, to me, as an administrator, you are lending some level of support to his view because you are repeating it and reinforcing it in the minds of readers that otherwise would have just skipped past it or who had a hard enough time reading it in the first place and would rather not see it dredged up again.

Do not quote posts that break forum rules.

The ladies that complained the most.. were good Catholic ladies.. stoic symbols of the church.. Missionary position.... sex for procreation only....


I have one question... how to they know what the underside of a penis looks like? What have they been doing??

Welcome to the club!

[Jack'sGirl]

I guess I missed something, I took ppepper's post as a joke?

Is the joke on me?

[sablegsd]

And he's uncircumsized...

Well, there goes the accuracy.

No joke on you hun!

I think the joke is on the artist who made that crucifix.

Sorry, I could not help myself!
