Indians Object To Super Cool Jesus

The beer is His bloodToday in religious controversy: "The government in the Indian state of Meghalaya has confiscated textbooks showing pictures of Jesus Christ holding a cigarette and a can of beer. The book has been used for primary classes and has caused a furore in the north-eastern state, where more than 70% of the population are Christians." I dunno, wouldn't this make you more inclined to follow Him? Dude knows how to get His drink on.

Ezra Pound wrote a poem called "The Ballad of the Goodly Fere" that oughta be required reading for Christians. That said, Why was this picture in a textbook?

I mean: a cursive writing exercise book.

thanks for that link.

although my degree says English, it should really say Poetry as that's all i read if given the choice. but somehow, that one escaped notice.

Evidently the image was used to illustrate the word "Idol", so maybe the people who were putting the book together thought it was one of the dudes from Kings of Leon or something.

I think their argument and body of complaints are quite transubstantial.

Glory!

So, Elton John was right about Wide Stance Jesus, judging by the way He's Holding His cigarette (which does not appear to Have a filter, suggesting even more Sacred Coolness).

You can tell that's the real Jesus because Bert is nowhere to be found.

Jesus had no problem with wine, not sure why he would have a problem with beer. Also, the discovery of brewing was fairly essential to civilization. I'm going to airbrush that picture on a t-shirt.

Dude. I was walking down the beach, right, and I looked back and saw how sometimes there were two sets of footprints (where Jesus was walking next to me,) and sometimes only one, and those were like all the rilly rilly hard times? And I was all, "Yo, Jesus, what's THAT all about? How come you didn't walk with me when the going got tough?" And Jesus goes, "I was carrying your lazy butt, you ingrate."

Oops. Then we went for a beer.

Late one night in the suburbs some freinds of mine were hanging out in a grocery store parking lot. A youth pastor camu upon us and told us about how discovering Jesus was like "discovering a really sweet kind of beer that your freins just told you about". He also let us know that "it would be so awesome to work at KFC, because you could get free chicken all the time"

*came upon us, (or "happened upon us", depending on how sensitive you are towards the youth-pastor humor)

That is so not a cigarette.

Don't fuck with a dude who drinks a can of his own blood.

Goons, though he calls it Jesus Juice.

Seems a bit hypocritical. I was at a temple in Edison recently and on their wall they had a pic of their deity straight passing a chillum to his homey:
