Please please please PLEASE someone tell me this guy does not speak for the majority of Christians out there (I’m referring to Bill Donohue, of course). I almost feel sorry for Donohue in the clip of him on Anderson Cooper–he can’t seem to get the artist, Cosmo Cavallaro, to sink to his level. “You’re talking like a 5-year old.”
The artist has a right to create art as he sees fit, and Donohue has a right to make an ass of himself. I have a right to wonder why on earth someone would want to make a Jesus out of chocolate and why someone would think it is somehow blasphemous. I mean, leaving aside issues of free speech and such, what is the big deal here? Is it the chocolate? What’s wrong with chocolate? Is it that he’s nude and anatomically correct? I can’t quite figure it out (I also haven’t been to church lately, so maybe they’ve changed some things.) I know that we’re supposed to be ashamed of our genitalia, so it could stand to reason that we should pretend Jesus didn’t have any. I don’t recall a Biblical proscription on chocolate–had it even been invented when Leviticus was written? Anyway, Donohue is a dick.
