Only have a moment to write.
I am sitting at Kansas City’s airport, a very well designed mid-sized airport I might add.
So a Chicago art exhibit unveiled a statue of Obama dressed up like Jesus, blue neon halo and all. People are getting pretty upset about this up there in Chi-town. It’s funny how we don’t mind a church deacon, the guy in church who we think looks like Jesus [skinny white guy with shoulder length hair], or Jim Caviezel to portray our Messiah. But God forbid, somebody dresses Obama up like Jesus. That equals CONTROVERSY!
Maybe the controversy is in what this “art” implies:
A few ideas…
Jesus was interacial?
Jesus wasn’t white?
Jesus was a Democrat?
Jesus lived in Chicago?
Jesus had really big hands and a larger-than-normal head?
Jesus had neon halo?
Jesus dressed exactly like Val Kilmer in the movie “Alexander”?
Jesus stood on a pedastal?
Jesus really liked track lighting?
Heck, Jesus might have looked kind of like this. In fact, I think the only African American kid in my first grade Sunday school class had a Bible with this picture on it. Anybody remember that Bible?
Peace.

Viagra is for the treatment of inability to get or keep an erection and similar states when erection is of low quality. When you buy remedies like cialis from canada you should know about cialis online canada. It may have a lot of brands, but only one ATC Code. Erectile disfunction, defined as the persistent impossibility to maintain a satisfactory erection, affects an estimated 15 to 30 millions men in the America alone. Sexual soundness is an substantial part of a man’s life, no matter his age etc.
Maybe the controversy surrounding this piece, from the vantage point of the objectors, is based not upon how Jesus is depicted, but what it suggests about Obama.
A few ideas…
Obama was prophesied?
Obama is the “good teacher”?
Obama is the way?
Obama is the truth?
Obama is the life?
Obama can save us?
Obama is seated at the right hand of God?
Or maybe they just can’t find any reference in the KJV to “Jesus” wearing a tie. (It might be really shiny, but does that halo look a little banged up to you?)
Have a great trip!
I just wonder what would happen if all of those Krazy Konservatives (TM) realized that Jesus probably looked a lot less like Jim Caviezel and a lot more like Osama bin Laden.
