Catholics object to chocolate Jesus

[ArneHD]

Chocolate Jesus angers catholics.

Link is in norwegian, but in summary, an art gallery in New York cancelled an exebition due to objections by catholics against a statue of Jesus (lifesized and naked) made from chocolate.

Edit: BBC link. This time in english.

Do people get to eat it?

Wel you know what they say, God is everywhere, even inside of us.

People are mad cause its naked? So is half of all the classic sculture. People need to lighten up.

When do the riots and looting and burning start?

It will probably not start at all as they (the catholics) have already gotten what they wanted. Why should they bother doing any more?

So it's ok to eat bits of bread and wine and call it Jesus. But chocolate that looks like Jesus is bad.

Maybe they're mad he didn't make it out of white chocolate.

It was sarcastic. A dig at muslim reactions as opposed to the rest of the civilized world.

I saw it, and I wanted to point out that catholics are, apperently, MUCH more powerful than muslims in general. Catholics can get something stoped by sending emails. If muslims had done the same, I think they would have been accused of intolerance.

How dare they waste chocolate on a religious figure? That is just sacralicious.

Even if it wasn't stopped, do you honestly think there would of been rioting?

The catholics are being acused of intollerance too. But the christians here rule so they get what ever they want. The rest of us are just living in a god fearing christian America.

Protests? Sure. Once it got started you might also have a counter protest to protest the protest. They MIGHT clash, though I will admit that the odds are fairly low.

I would so rather eat a chocolate Jesus than a chocolate bunny. Now I'm going to have to see if I can find any reasonably-sized ones... I bet it would be pretty easy to make a mold from something, and make your own chocolate Jesus. This will be a project for easter, and I will surprise all of my family with their very own Choco-Christ. Yum!

Do they make them?

 

[ArneHD]

On a side note, someone commented that Nazareth is well known for making exellent chocolate. Does anyone know wether this is true or not?

This is when it's better to be a protestant; if you eat the chocolate Jesus, it doesn't transmute in your mouth into flesh.

Fascinating Captain, even the atheists devised their own method of eating the body of Christ. Hands down Jesus Christ was the most edible religious figure who ever lived.

 

[El_Machinae]

Odin Oreos aren't so bad, either.

I've seen chocolate crosses with and with out Jesus attached at sale in many places. Just not as big as the OP Jesus and they had a loin cloch.

Beam me up Scotty, this chocolate factory sucks.
