Someone can say blank Jesus....and some might respond "Well you don't know the real Jesus so that does not mean much"...that is beside the point. It was still irreverent and blasphemy
Those images are used to represent Jesus. If you don't believe that look at 1Cor's cartoon. He uses the name of Jesus in it.
Some are going to be offended.
What if someone says "Jeeeezus" and arguably that is NOT really the name Jesus, but then what if they mock our God by using that name...you know their intent but because they did not spell it "Jesus" or say "Jesus" is it somehow different? Does not become less irreverent?
The issue is not whether or not they are really Jesus, but the issue is that is what "they" intend and the results are often scandelous and irreverent with the intent of mocking our savior. Some find that bothersome and I won't criticize them for it.

Which is your choice to make. They have no problem with criticizing 1Cor and I have no problem with criticizing them. It's funny how criticizing someone, anyone, around here is ok as long the mob agrees with the criticizing. Let someone come along and criticize the mob and all of sudden convictions aren't being respected and irreverence is being shown. Take a look at my tribute thread if you really want to know how I feel about it.

Depends on if they're funny, amusing, entertaining, or otherwise good art.

Exactamundo, Praxeas. It does work both ways. Now we're gettin somewhere.
Oh, btw, can you point to one thread or post I've ever made demanding that Christmas tree avatars be taken down? There are plenty of my posts where I've gotten upset over the Christmas discussion, but how many where I've demanded that a Christmas tree be taken down?

Prax would you please check out the Trinitarian definition page. The Layman is trying to interpret you.

No real problem exists over the use of "The Name" in everthing else done in the Church. Why then should there exist great controversy over the use of the "The Name of the Godhead" in water baptism?

Of course not. God can't be blasphemed by pictures, Prax. Blasphemy is speaking against the Holy Ghost.

Rico. The only sin that can't be forgiven is to blasphemy against the Holy Ghost, but the bible does not say only the Holy Ghost can be blasphemied.
Aren't pictures and words closely related? I can weave a picture in someone's mind with words and I can show them a picture that tells them a story you might otherwise hear in words
