Wednesday, September 03, 2008 Could Jesus Christ have morning wood? POST A COMMENT What sounds like Much Ado About...'morning wood is having a very real day in court: The case is against an art gallery in the U.K. that dared to exhibit a statue of Jesus Christ with an erection -- (they're being sued by a devout Christian who said she was offended). To me, the least interesting thing about all this is the art, by Terence Koh, which actually isn't very good (my three year niece could do so much better)... 'More interesting was the debate: 'Art is made to move people, to make them question, to expand their perceptions, to have an effect on the way they think,' says a civil minded person. 'Sometimes, some art is going to offend some people. But if we let a vocal minority get away with censoring art, the majority loses.' A spokesman arguing against Koh said they believed in freedom of expression, but "this statue served no other purpose than to offend Christians and to denigrate Christ." I can't disagree more with the "offend" part -- from what I see here, Christ was packing (and, ahem, truly-blessed) -- I gotta agree with this commenter: "Jesus just has a lot of love to give!" Plus, think about it logically, assuming Jesus was indeed a real person, the biology and science would strongly suggest he might also have had morning wood. I would even go so far as to say Jesus also sat on the bowl and moved his bowels...'at least once.

POST A COMMENT Hollywood's got a Michael Moore-ish History-of-RE-visionism and "F-ing" with the status quo...so I look at that pending book, by the Director of "Total Recall" - (yeah, that film title "Total Recall" might be a clue us in as to his passion for a good 'ol sci-fi yarn) -- as more of a convenient search for the truth: Stir-the-pott...Mr. Paul Verhoeven, (who also blessed us with that classic burning-bush-scene, with a younger Sharon Stone, in "Basic Instinct"), is suggesting according to Fox News that the... "Virgin Mary may have been a rape victim, the book will also say that Christ was not betrayed by Judas Iscariot, one of the 12 original apostles of Jesus, as the New Testament states." Now I'm not a religious nut, nor am I one to get all up people's bizness - (what Mary does in her private time is not our bizness, and I know quite a few ladies claiming to be Virgins, who are a little-too-loosey-goosey down there to honor such claims, but I don't hate them for trying) -- plus, I doubt we can call somebody and collect any forensic evidence...so all this become a hearsay parade...like the folks at Fox News pushing that Bush was smart for invading Iraq. And there are those people that even claim Jesus was a black man (which might help in stopping every white women I met from grabbing their purse in elevators, so I'm all for it)...yeah, that's also possible. But, since we are dealing with a mythology that was man-made...I'll buy Dan Brown's view of hi-story: "Since the beginning of recorded time, history has been written by the "winners" (those societies and belief systems that conquered and survived)."
