Prank: Stolen Baby Jesus Icon Returned to Prove a Point

www.POE-News.com wrote:[img=left]http://toimages.us.publicus.com/apps/pb ... R&MaxW=240[/img]A figure of baby Jesus stolen from a Maumee church is back in his manger, wearing a new coat - of paint, that is.

During his two-week absence, Jesus’ white skin was covered with dark brown paint, said the Rev. Roger Miller, pastor of St. Paul’s Evangelical Lutheran Church on East Wayne Street.

"Sorry I took your baby Jesus. It was a childish prank," the perpetrator said in a handwritten note. "As far as his new color, I thought I would point out that Jesus was not an Aryan but actually a man of color. Although you probably knew this but would rather not be reminded."

The thief added that the paint job was "not some sort of racial thing ... actually I’m white. But I know what color Jesus was."

Good for this person, it's great to see that someone knows that Jesus was Semitic and not a European white man...

Mary in the background is still white. If Joseph is smart enough he will finally realize that his girl got knocked up not by God, but by a huge black man.

I wouldn't be all that surprised if Jesus came back and wound up having to get a job as a cabbie.

I'm thinking that he'd sell himself as a test subject for Science to find out how the hell he did what he did.

We'd also get a bit of DNA off of him :shock: :D

While I don't agree with vandalism and stealing, it is pretty funny. But that more realistic Jesus...He sure is ugly.

I'm reminded of what Chuck Palahniuk wrote in survivor:
You've never seen a crucifix with a Jesus who wasn't almost naked. You've never seen a fat Jesus. Or a Jesus with body hair. Every crucifix you've ever seen, the Jesus could be shirtless and modeling designer jeans or men's cologne.
and a pointless rhetorical question from the same book:
And if Christ had died from a barbiturate overdose, alone on the bathroom floor, would He be in Heaven?
"In the new trilogy, Anakin Skywalker portrays a damning indictment of technology's modern dehumanization of mankind through Hayden Christensen's lifeless, almost inhuman performance. There is a river of tragedy in every robotic line he utters, a horrific monotonal indication of his cyborgal fate."-Dr. Albert Oxford, PhD

Actually, according to Dogma, Jesus was black.

Not the movie Dogma, dogma as a concept. Although I'm sure you know that already and are simply being witty.

I'd like to see Jesus with some homies.

But that's just me.
