Found this in another thread and wanted to share.

Wow. Just wow.

[Goblinmonger]

1. Yikes.

I think I will start substituting "Bloody Christ on a cross" for "Jesus Christ on a pogo stick."

[cleanhippie]

2. wanna guess where I found it?

[Goblinmonger]

4. It has the hint of Catholicism to it.

I don't know the usual posters in there so I can't guess that specifically.

[cleanhippie]

6. Actually, it quite "progressive".

[frogmarch]

3. That is just sick!

The Girls, Guys and Society pictures have to do with romantic/sexual love. Oh, wait, maybe some Christians are sexually turned on by the thought of bloody Jesus on a cross.

[Goblinmonger]

5. Got me in the mood, that's for sure.

for any possible alerts.

9. Maybe the guy who plays Jesus in the passion plays they go to really is "hung" on a cross. ;)

7. This is where I found it

Yes, in a series of cats, often rescues and occasionally barn cats who wanted indoors, who decided I was OK as far as monkeys go and displayed abundant affection and even gratitude. In fact, there's one in my lap right now, nuzzling my hand and making it hard to type. She's just been fed, so this is affection instead of wheedling.

I've found love with friends, lovers, coworkers and the like, but no one has come close to beating the unconditional affection from cats. And a few dogs.

I never got anything but acute boredom and occasional outrage in any building that featured a plaster effigy of a bleeding man on a cross.

[Curmudgeoness]

11. You've got that right!

Animals are the best place to find love---and especially rescues who have not always had a good life.

But I have to say that dogs can be as good as cats. All animals have a higher capacity for love than humans seem to have.

[AlbertCat]

17. Bingo!

Animal love is not unconditional (as is often said)... just try not feeding them for a week or two...

But it is GENUINE.

[Mumble]

8. If they replaced the bloody guy on the cross...

...with a pic of an old wise man with a white beard, their image would possibly be more palatable. And that's a big "if."

[darkstar3]

10. That poster contains everything you need to know about Christian godbaggers.

Sexism, species shame, torture porn, and a complete misunderstanding of the concept of love.

Yep, sounds like the bible belt.

[ZombieHorde]

15. I know. The poster seems like it was made to lampoon Christians,

but they seem into it.

It's perfect.

12. Sex

How revealing that the "where guys think they'll find it" panel merely contains the printed word "sex" rather than a physical depiction of the act, even abstractly, to fit in with the other panels.

Apparently the sex act is just too awful to be depicted, unlike the last panel which depicts the victim of a bloody murder as the very epitome of love.

[onager]

13. Busted!

The "actually find it" pic is from the famous S&M/snuff movie, Passion of the Christ. I Googled the movie title, clicked "Images," and it popped right up on a Time magazine site:

[ZombieHorde]

14. I loved that movie. nt

[AlbertCat]

18. I loved that movie.

Oy...

well if you love pretentious crap.

Exactly having it in Aramaic with subtitles contributed....what?... exactly? And that's just one example of "look how smart we are!" movie-excess.

[ZombieHorde]

19. The pretentiousness and crapiness comes from you, not the movie.

You are projecting qualities onto perceived stimuli.

[2ndAmForComputers]

21. Does that apply to anybody who considers any movie to be pretentious and crappy?

[ZombieHorde]

22. Of course. Pretentiousness and crappiness are not qualities of matter.

Well, crappiness may be a quality of poop, but that is different.

[Warren Stupidity]

23. So the creators of an object cannot be pretentious and poor craftsmen?

And the observer of a made object cannot correctly perceive the creator's qualities and skills? That is one odd theory of art you have.

[ZombieHorde]

24. "So the creators of an object cannot be pretentious and poor craftsmen?"

We can say the creators of an object failed to live up to our current standards and current tastes.

And the observer of a made object cannot correctly perceive the creator's qualities and skills?

Objective qualities can be perceived, such as being bipedal, but subjective qualities are projected, such as pretentiousness. Skills can be perceived, but judgements on those skills are subjective, and therefore projected.

[Warren Stupidity]

25. I find your theory pretentious and crappy.

Dear Jury give a break. Not an attack on the messenger.

[ZombieHorde]

26. Well, you're learning at least.

That is commendable.

[2ndAmForComputers]

27. I agree with your assessment.

[2ndAmForComputers]

16. And now, because of that, we have...

...nah, I won't call it what it is, I don't want to get my jury duty probability further reduced.

Let's say... we have fireworks.

20. Torture and murder = love. Thanks, God! nt
