Re: Make a Jesus In Your Own Image

Will God punish whoever made this poster? And me for thinking it's funny?

I guess I don't see the humor in it - I think it's silly.

Re: Make a Jesus In Your Own Image

Don't we all pretty well make God/Jesus into our own image?

If we are Conservative, we make Him Conservative.
If we are Republican, we make Him Republican.
If we are New Age, we make Him New Age.
If we are Socialist, we make Him Socialist.
If we are homophobic or racist, we make Him that way.
If we are GLBT, we make Him that way.
If we are pro-life or pro-choice (I don't like either of those labels) we make Him that way.
If we are a Hippy (for want of a more recent term) we make Him a Hippy.
etc. etc.

Actually you have it backwards, they are making Obama look like the Messiah. Metamussel might make you feel better. Just my opinion. Thank you for being my Judge, Jury and Condemner, and I do find it hilarious, but you know what is scary, some folks buy into it. Be scared, be vary scared.
