Yeah, man, lets bash the Christians!

Flux's link in another thread was sort of funny because it did look like Jesus was teasing the kids with a basketball. But this...isnt really deserving of scorn or ridicule, is it?

Well I thought it was funny.
Check out the rest of the site. The welding one is odd.

From the pic I actually thought it was Charles Manson who was with us always.

I'm not one for the whole "Jesus is lord, worship him" bit, but isn't this kind of sacriligious?

I mean, I really don't think Jesus is going to be holding your hand while some guy sticks a big drill into your mouth, or while some chick gives you a haircut.

I thought you were supposed to "never take the lord's name in vain" and all that. Wouldn't what these people are doing be something along the lines of "taking the lord's image in vain"

Where are the bible-thumpers when you need them?

It's weird, cos in most of those pictures, it looks like Jesus is invisible and mocking them.

This can't possibly be real, right? These are just too absurd... it seems more like ironic humor, cos "carpet layer Jesus" "insurance agent Jesus" and "french horn Jesus" seem very, very random...

On the main page, why is Jesus' hair so short? He looks more like Jason Lee as 'Banky' than the son of God...

far as i reckon, any image of a middle eastern jewish revolutionary rendered to look like a peaceful aryan hippy is ALWAYS deserving of scorn.

The male /female divide in occupations (which can apparently be carried out without the warm breath of the Messiah in your ear becoming a distraction) is interesting too.

only having looked at it for a few minutes, I couldnt tell if it was serious or not. I decided to leave it at that, as Id be quite disturbed to find out it was for real, and just about as freaked out to see that someone put that much effort into that particular joke

Scat-loving Messiah Shocker!

Now there's a headline I'd like to see.

Actually, the idea of personal occupational Jesii seems kinda cool to me. Hell, I'd buy a shirt that said "French Horn Jesus" on the back...

That's the thing, this is supposed to make you feel better because Jesus is always there behind you. I notice there are no drawings for "having a shit", "shagging", "breaking and entering" or "jumping out of the window of the World Trade Centre". Maybe He doesn't handle that kind of work. Only nice tasteful things.

That's it, isn't it? These people would have you believe that Jesus hangs around all the time when you're baking a cake or drawing a picture of a pony, and then deftly nips out to the pub when you do a bank robbery or wipe your arse.

It's like that 'God is watching us - from a distance' song which is probably meant to be reassuring but conjures up anonymously creepy images of the Creator standing at the far edge of a children's playground with His hands in His pockets...

Quite the opposite, I reckon. It's designed to discourage you from doing anything you wouldn't want to do with Jesus watching.

I like the way that by the time he's got to the executive, he's starting to look a bit bored.

my obvious, cynical self wants to see a whole slew of picture where he hanging out with the spanish inquisition fellows, gently holding their hands with his beautific smile while they vivisect a woman for being a witch.

or maybe one where he's gently holding st stephen's hand while get get stoned to death going, "ah, chin up, your getting off easy."
