'Faggot" above Jesus on the Cross is so amazing to see in real life!!<BR/><BR/>I'm hoping that a gay or lesbian centered church will someday buy this incredible painting of Becki Jayne's and hang it above the altar or in a side devotional chapel.<BR/><BR/>Jesus' suffering was at the hands of RELIGIOUS AUTHORITIES! Remember how he attacked the priests, the scribes and Pharisees!<BR/>"You snakes and vipers too you whitened sepulcres." My favorite verses are when Jesus gets tough on the religious right of his day!<BR/><BR/>He was a man of the people, not a man of the church of that day-- the Temple. He thought ignoring the outcast was the sin, preventing people from knowing god was a sin.<BR/><BR/>Every right wing lesbian and gay hater who says this stuff, is making Jesus mad!<BR/><BR/>This is a great blog. Easter is so powerful just looking at this art. I feel Jesus "gets it" when I look at "Faggot Christ!"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29680163.post-1242445005443550272009-04-10T14:48:00.000-07:002009-04-10T14:48:00.000-07:00People are continuing to attack this Gay Holy Week...People are continuing to attack this Gay Holy Week series at care2.com. There are now 67 comments.<BR/><BR/>I was feeling discouraged by reading so many comment from people who called me and my work “ignorant… have pity of her,” “asinine,” “a tragedy and a recrucifixion of our precious Lord and Savior,” “absurd,” “abomination to God,” “offended,” “outrageous,” “I can't imagine anything more far fetched, and disrespectful,” “warped,” “sacrilege” “abhorrent,” “rubbish,” “ridiculous,” “the doing of unresponsible and low self esteem,” “shame,” “totally sick and twisted. The devil's workshop,” “sick, gross and utterly disgusting,” “way beyond decency,” “just another very sad and sorry individual trying to make news,” and predicting that I “will be damned on Judgment Day.”<BR/><BR/>I went to Jesus in prayer, and he seemed to say to me, “You WANTED to walk my path…” On this Good Friday, I remember that he also faced hateful opposition from religious people, and paid the ultimate price. This is the way of the Cross, the way of Christ.<BR/><BR/> It also helps a lot to hear from supporters who have left positive comments and sent me emails. God bless you.<BR/><BR/>FYI: Here's the link to the debate:<BR/><BR/>http://www.care2.com/causes/civil-rights/blog/lesbian-author-re-writes-the-crucifixion-makes-jesus-gay/Kittredge Cherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02617858676733169316noreply@blogger.com
