A Question about the Chocolate Jesus Controversy?

If the Dutch News Paper can print pictures of Mohammad and say it it has every right because of Freedom of Speech, then why can't the artist display his artwork, in a form of free speech?

It's certainly a hypocricy. It's not the only time this sort of thing has happened either. In Sulawesi, Indonesia, Christians chopped off peoples heads over a newspaper editorial that implied that the church-supported candidate was corrupt, in the Phillipines they looted bookstores and burnt copies of the DaVinci Code, in Egypt thousands of Coptics rioted and turned over cars, in Belfast they set the city on fire on Orange Day last year, and in Russia, Orthodox priests beat people bloody at a gay pride parade.

It is sad to see people making death threats and threatening to burn down the gallery and such because of a chocolate Jesus. Especially since I think the point is rather a good one. We buy and sell millions of chocolate bunnies for Easter, but why is the focus on rabbits?

It's really a pretty interesting sculpture though. Quite interesting. He is a very talented artist.

If Jesus was real, wouldn't Christmas come twice a year?

One for his actual birthday and one for the pagan holiday we currently celebrate.

They have stolen every pagan holiday. There's a free slot available at the summer solstice though. Maybe they should choose June 21st for his birth.

I need help with our family Christmas party. We want to have all the kids entertain the adults so how...?

We are having a family Christmas party and need some ideas for the kids to put on a show for the adults. What should we do.?
We have about 35 kids. We are going to have them sing about 5 christmas songs and then the younger kids are going to do a play where they will each have a letter of the alphabet and they will say things like "A is for angels at christmas time, B is for Baby Jesus and so on. Now we have the older kids, about 9 of them all between the ages of 13 and 19. What should we have them do as entertainment for the adults? We thought about having them read poems about family and Christmas. Are there any good sites where I can find some poems about family and Xmas? We do not have the funds to get them costumes and not enough time to put together a play. Any other ideas Any help would be much appreciated.

well,13-19 yr olds are difficult because they are all about what looks cool,so you may have several of them who are not going to be too happy about doing this for you guys,and you know kids when they are miserable they will make everyone around them miserable..i suggest maybe a game for them that the adults can sit back and watch and or maybe even join in on..you know like Christmas pictionary or charades.. divide them in to 2 teams,,give them words,movie themes,christmas present items ext. written on pieces of paper that are folded up and put in to a hat,,let each team take turns pulling them out one at a time,each kid has a turn to get up doing one while the rest on their team tries to guess what they are trying to say,and so on and so forth...i know you said not enough money for costumes,,but you could find a nice dollar store and buy 4-5 inexpensive gifts,wrap them up,,the winning team members gets the gifts...watching kids do stuff like that is always fun and entertaining..and who knows the adults may even want to join in..have a blast,,and MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Do you know what the most violated Christian teaching is?

Would Jesus Gauges be Sacrilegious or Offensive?

I know that wearing rosary beads is considered offensive (I'm a practicing Catholic and would never dream of it). I also know that I am encouraged to wear several pieces of jewelry with Mary, Jesus, the saints, etc. on it. Example: Pendants, saint bracelets...

Earrings are not needed. Take them off. Read Isaiah 3
Exodus 20:8-11
SDA

I have a nativity scene plaster of paris figurines pre-1950 with initials C. S. on each. Any idea of value?

Mary & Joseph, baby Jesus, 3 wise men, shepard and 2 lambs, donkey, ox, and an angel. I believe they're made of plaster of paris, not positive. All seem to be hand painted. Made possibly in early '50's. Bought in Pennsylvania.

I am not sure about value, but do you have a photo you could send me? I think it may be one similar to those of my parents and we are looking for another set.

I'm an agnostic; is it alright for me to wear this wooden bracelet with images of Jesus and Mary?

I purchased this beautiful bracelet in Spain when I went there on a tour. Where I live in Asia, people don't seem to mind when they see others wearing such bracelets/rosaries. But I'll be moving to the States soon, and was wondering if Christian people would find this offensive?

What lettuce said.

Who knows how did the custom of giving our kids toys start if the wise men never presented toys to Jesus?

Why do we give our kids toys,games,bikes,dollies and all of that good stuff when the wise men never presented gifts that were toys to Jesus,
Jesus was never given a baby doll,Nintendo Wiis,books, or a Krusty the clown doll, do you think baby Jesus would approve of the custom of exchanging gifts?
what do you think?

It's a pagan custom that Christians integrated.

Are there any "Honk if you think Mohammad(PBUH) was Cool" bumper stickers?

I havent seen any and am wondering what muslims would think about such a thing. Is it considered 'sin'?. Do you have something else but similiar. Personlally, when I was a christian, I started to think the whole bumper sticker and Jesus saves t shirts thing, was really ridiculing christianity, and making me feel like jesus was some sort of Logo. kind of like having something that is very serious but treating it like its worthless somewhat. I didnt thhink it a 'sin', just very foolish.
Anyway, would muslims buy such stickers, is it a matter of personal choice, or would such a thing be a 'sin'..

It might be looked at as disrespectful.

Personally, I wouldn't buy it.

for someone else who asked what (PBUH) is - "Peace be upon him". Muslims say that everytime the name of the Prophet is mentioned or "Alayhis Salaam" "On whom be peace" when the name of Jesus, Moses, Abraham or any other Prophet is mentioned.
