Dear religious types: please STFU and go hang yourselve's. Not only does your kind stifle artistic expression, but progress in the fields of medicine and science.

i just saw this guy knock some douche named Bill Donohue down a couple pegs on Anderson Cooper last night. he was nowhere near as sharp-witted as some of his peers, but he got the job done

and the sculpture itself in no way resembles any representation of christ i've ever seen, besides the way he's posed. it should be titled "chocolate cast of random bald white dude posturing like jesus"

Why does there need to be a Catholic civil rights organization?More importantly why does there need to be more than one! I have a feeling they focus less on "Catholic civil rights" and more on preventing the religion from looking bad or from people "offending" it in anyway. The day a group with those goals can be called a civil rights organization is the day logic dies.

Also, since when are we oppressing the Catholics? It's not like we've enslaved them or anything. If they really wanna fight for "civil rights," they should fight for their right to shut up. Also, I pitty the person who has to eat the penis if/when they eat Choco-Christ.

Praise the lord, made out of 100% milk chocolate.

I really wanna move to another planet with stupid shit like this.

[margot]

Well its got to be a chocolate Jesus

Make me feel good inside

Got to be a chocolate Jesus

Keep me satisfied

When the weather gets rough

And it's whiskey in the shade

It's best to wrap your savior up in cellophane

He flows like the big muddy

But that's ok

Pour him over ice cream for a nice parfait

You shouldn't, since that person will obviously gain devine powers :awesome:

I hate to be intolerant, but...

Catholic League head Bill Donohue called it "one of the worst assaults on Christian sensibilities ever".

The history of the Catholic Church is one of the worst assaults on Christian sensibilities ever.

This whole thing is really stupid. The sculpture looks nice, though. I don't understand how it's insulting, though. Jesus is a part of America's mythology, people are going to make art about it and that art might have nothing at all to do with actual religion. Of course they are having it happen after Easter, but still. I fail to see a problem here that the largest Catholic Civil Rights group in the country has to be dealing with.

I think they should be somewhat upset about it, because by the picture the article provided, it looks more like a decaying corpse than jesus...

[noodle]

meh. id still rather have a cadburey cream egg.

[Poophy]

This is art; many small “statues” are made of chocolate (like chocolate bunnies), many of which are used to celebrate religious holidays (like Easter). So whats so wrong about using chocolate to celebrate the religious side of the holiday rather than the commercial side?

That’s one of the problems with using chocolate as a medium. If you let milk chocolate sit too long the milk fat rises to the top, giving it that gray color which is what I think is what solarfall is referring too…

That's nice, but your feelings aren't waht matter.

How the hell can you think that logic is still alive when you so vigorously assault it?

There are places, generally not in America, where there is a need for Catholic civil rights.

i can't tell whether that person goes straight to hell or gains divine powers

i just wonder how many people could eat the food that this guy is wasting. he does this all the time, like he covered this house in wisconsin with 2000 pounds of pepper jack cheese.

Then why are these "Civil Rights" organizations wasting their time with a chocolate Jesus?

[Crube]

They aren't mad because it is a chocolate Jesus; they are simply mad because it is representing an idea of a black Jesus. :ohmy:

[J-Stop]

They aren't mad because it is a chocolate Jesus; they are simply mad because it is representing an idea of a black Jesus.

Which means whoever does eat the penis better have one huge apatite for chocolate.

But cheese and chocolate are completely renewable, as long as cows are around.

Does Cavallaro take commissions? I'd love to request an uncooked pizza Hitler and donate it to a local temple with a note attached saying "Now you can throw him in the stove!"
