Did anyone see the South Park episode where Jesus asked Kyle (the Jewish kid) to kill him so Jesus could rise from the dead and save South Park?
That was a goodun. No complaints about that from Isaac Hayes, who used to be the Chef character. However he quit South Park in a hissy fit because
South Park made fun of Tom Cruise and Scientology.
Josephus wrote that many people who had seen Jesus saw him differently than others. Some said he had gray eyes. Others, brown. Some said black hair,
others, brown. The examples go on from there.
To me, Jesus represents both male and female characteristics. Strenth and compassion. Love and also anger. Sometimes the qualities can be seen as a
gender oriented throughout human history. I know, I am just touching the surface here. It can be discussed in much greater detail than I am wanting to
spend my time on right now.
I've painted many portraits and scenes of Jesus. It amuses me how many people can get ticked off because I paint his hair blonde, or short, or long,
or his skin, white, brown, or paint him to look European, African or Asian. Oh, some people get it, some don't. I get some rather interesting and
biased comments written in my comment books at art shows.
Sometimes I paint Jesus having obvious breasts under his garments. Why? To show my opinion that Jesus is the best of all of us, both male and female.
Since I am not so very good at painting that I can paint these qualities that are of spirit, and not physical, I paint the physical, to show the
combination of male/female and to encourage discussion and transfer of ideas. Usually, though, there's no comment or I just get told how I disgust
the viewer and how I have attacked Christianity and they hope I burn in hell, etc. To which I thank the viewer for being such a great Christian.
I'll not pass judgement on this play, nor get my loin cloth in a bind because Jesus is oortrayed in the play as a transexual. I thought I met Jesus
once in a vision, but he was obviously gay and had blonde hair.
Then I figured it out. It was just an asexual angel I had communicated with.
