...These figurines are available for purchase thanks to the marketing efforts of a company called "Fishermen, Inc.". This clever company has made it possible for you to pick and choose the Jesus that best fits your personal tastes and hobbies. The idea here is to 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.

All of these artists, sculptures and painters are going to stand before an Angry God. That would be the figurines and the graphic artist making Jesus to look like Obama. Where is the reverence for our Saviour? And it is not funny one bit. Why have Christians lost reverence for our Saviour? You are as guilty as this company selling the Jesus dolls and the drawings, because you find it hilarious.
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.

That's what I was thinking.... we all make him into our own image every day.

I dont judge you.....the WORD judges you. You'd do better to believe it and reverence it.
