gotta love the hokiness of it.

 

 

anyway, my thoughts are on the whole "jesus is my homeboy" clothing line or Jesus action figures. I'm just not quite sure if you're a believer you should be to into these products. any time anyone says "Jesus would be totally into this" I get a little skeptical....call me conservative or whatever

 

thoughts?

Odds are, if it exploits anyone or thing, in anyway... It would be out of line.

Here's a clothing line I'm offended by....http://www.tokenclothing.com/... I'll have you know, I have a 13" vertical..

I agree completely in that openly anyone attacking abortion or gay marriage and saying "Jesus would be totally into this" is misrepresenting that they know the will of Jesus.

 

I kind of think he'd like an action figure though. Or a line of fine 'miracle wines'... there's an unexplored marketing goldmine...

I need that for my classes at UTPA.

Would this be "your own personal Jesus" thread?

Why is Jesus White?

Now I am being deadly serious:

 

I have actually seen kids at my school wearing these shirts and trucker hats. The first time I was like, what the holy goodness is this? But then I realized what it was. I have no clue, one boy is fairly religious, the rest, well I didn't even want to ask. Why would you wear this? I just don't know. Ack.

my thoughts:

 

That whole death on a cross thing might be worth a little more than being called a "home boy".

 

I just don't want to get to heaven one day and Jesus is like...so...homeboy, huh...that's all I was to you?

Many, many people died on the cross, impaled on spikes, quartered, cooked in oil for days or else just rotted in prison over the millenii. Quite a few did so for a worthy cause or two......Jesus being Jesus, symbolizing the very best qualities a human can have, however, does warrant some additional respect, I do agree

 

The problem is, many people don't believe in him or/and don't give a s*** about a number of "worthy" things, Jesus included. So they might as well call him/wear whatever they want in a pathetic attempt to be Cool and Relevant.

 

f*** em. They fear indifference as vampires fear garlic, mirrors and those with AIDS.

I agree with your statement, but I also agree with Brando...

 

The main problem I had with the Passion (and yes, I realize it was a film about, The Passion) was that it divorced the overarching message of love, inclusion and radical challenging of authority that defined the ministry of Jesus. I think that it is those reasons that Jesus should have respect--like Brando said, thousands of Jews and others (I think others, but mostly Jews) were crucified--heck, Pilate himself crucified thousands. After one insurrection they crucified 2,000. The crucifixion itself does not set Jesus apart, but the reasons why he was crucified: mainly that he challenged the oppressive nature of society, fought for inclusion of all (enemies, sinners, the ritually unclean) and he preached love in a time of hateful occupation of the Holy Land.

 

Um, that's all.
