Silly people, those are ALL pictures of Leonardo da Vinci. Jesus, contrary to popular belief, was NOT a renaissance Italian and he, if he existed at all, CERTAINLY didn't look like any of the pictures from the renaissance masters who painted him to look like contemporary Europeans. Jesus, again if he existed, would have been a Jew with dark curly hair. No reddish auburn hair, no blue eyes, no Italianate features. I believe most people, based on their deeply ingrained misconceptions, would be somewhat offended if they saw an actual picture of Jesus.
What a bunch of morans is right! Holy crap - and I do mean, holy crap.
I found this link because we are both linked in the same C&L post and I am so glad I watched all 6 glorious minutes.
As an actual Christian (of the highly irreverent brand) I am at once laughing my head off and horrified by the fact that people think they need to see Jesus in a freaking cheeto, a piece of toast or something else.
Well, I often say that to be funny, but these folks are saying it because they think it is true.
I found this post because we are both linked in the same C&L blog round up. And I am an actual church going Christian. Although I must add that I am a church going Christian with a sense of humor and a wide latitude for irreverence.
Jesus did not suffer and die on the cross only to be seen on a Cheeto... In my opinion, anyway!
Then again many of my less ironic Christian compatriots will sniff, turn their head and feel persecuted by this type of video. Oh well, so it goes!
I am proud to say that I have a perfect likeness of Loutsu. the TAOist sage in the panneling of my bathroom. He sits right over the toilet, right next to the toilet, just opposite the toilet, and three times in the shower but once he is behind the shower curtain. Amazingly he has also appeared once down in the basement where I keep the left over building supplies of panneling from the bathroom. (Regretably he is upside down there). Isn't seven a holy number?
For a long time now, I have longed to see an image of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Today I've had the chance. A miracle has happened. No fewer than 3 Jesus Christ the Nazarenes appeared before my eyes, IN my eyes. Let me explain:
I was alone with my partner, Paraminder, in a municipal park southwest of downtown San Francisco, when he suggested that I take my figertips and press them gently into the sides of my eyeballs. I did so while looking at the sky and lo and behold the sky darkened, and up sprung a menagerie of animals that looked so real they could have been plastic figurines in a holy nativity. There, among the ashy spots of light floated one Jesus Christ of Nazareth's head without a beard and looking more like Tom Cruise with a small pig snout, one FULLY seated body of Jesus Christ of Nazareth without a head and next to his father Joseph of Arimathea, who was kneeling as to offer him a bowl of something, (soup?) and the grandest a two headed Jesus Christ of Nazareth that I count as only one because I do not question the authority of a Lord who appears out of space. As I stood up, my vision cleared and a feeling of light-headedness came over me that could ONLY have been JCoA's light spirit entering me. Seven is a holy number. What ye sow, so shall ye reap.

Anon: Methinks you're exactly right. As I've said before, "What a bunch of morans!"

That was a great video. Thanks.
Jesus on a waffle!

@B. Dengra. Amen. Yes, seven, holy, number. Jesus H. Christ, are you crazy? Seven times seven. Amen.
Crazy like a fox, Jacob. Crazy like a fox.
