Toon - "We decided we needed a portrait of Jesus more in tune with our politics"

[OmahaBlueDog]

Pretty well nails it, IMO.

(From "I love it when I wake up in the morning and Barack Obama is President" on Facebook)

1. Was that an actual quote?

[OmahaBlueDog]

3. Not that I'm aware - I used the quotes to denote it as a title.

If it is an actual quote - let me know.

FYI, I do see many "re-envisioned" portraits of Jesus. He generally looks more masculine, with a thicker face and broader shoulders.

9. I was thinking he kind of looked like Chuck Norris n/t

[BlueStreak]

10. I'm surprised that Jesus didn't get teased by the Apostles

You know, since he was this good-looking European white guy hanging around the Middle East. His appearance must have really stood out, yet there is no mention of this in the scriptures.

11. Everything elicits a war story from me. So here you go, another war story from me.

I spent 13 months in Iraq in 2004-2005 and I conducted quite a bit of patrols while I was there. Every once in a while we'd see a random person with blond or red hair and blue eyes. It was completely freaky.

The explanation that was given to me was that these were the genetic relics left over from Alexander the great conquered the area around 300 b.c. and his soldiers fathered children along the way. Also, I guess that they could be the genetic relics of British colonialism earlier last century...

12. Or a descendant of Euro-Jesus and his wife Mary Magdeline. :)

I'm thinking if Jesus actually looked at all like Chuck Norris, somebody would have mentioned it somewhere in the New Testament.

Billy Ray Cyrus?

Was the artist (term used in the broadest sense here) serious? Really?

19. It hung at this bank.
