The same month that a Sydney Australia council removed a “playful” artwork of Jesus …
Sydney artist Philjames’ work, Jesus Speaks to the Daughters of Jerusalem, was removed from the Blake Art Prize exhibition at the Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre after fierce criticism was directed at the artist and gallery on Friday, just two days before the eight-week exhibition ended.

IN 1972, National Lampoon magazine introduced the super hero SON O’ GOD . Created by Michael Choquette, Sean Kelly and Neal Adams, Son ‘O God who turned from nebbishy Jewish New Yorker Benny David – 30-years-old; living with controlling parents; no aptitude for any sport – who turns into a WASP wonderman on a mission to tackle Catholicism, the Antichrist Pope and “the scourge of Islam”.

Drawing in mysterious ways…
What gets me is the quoting of the Bible out of context in order to support political and “moral” pronouncements. They twist the Golden Rule into a leaden one, mercy and forgiveness into self-righteous punitive “justice” and tolerance into a fevered intolerance. “Jesus wept.”
‘Father will be divided against son and son against father; mother against daughter and daughter against mother; and mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law, Evangelicals against God.’”
Technically, it appears that God saved Trump from a piece of shrapnel.
As Rob Rogers notes – that is not what “the MAGA faithful claim.”
A blond Jesus? Really?
