(Unintentionally) funny religious paintings...

[Archae]

Our old buddy Jon McNaughton is in there a couple times, naturally.

And Jesus is a junkie?

1. #8 Calvary is one of the weirder ones, but

they're all pretty darned weird, imo.

Does anyone out there in the world really buy these?

[caraher]

2. Definitely

I have a friend on Facebook who posts McNaughton stuff with gushing admiration. Don't forget Thomas Kinkade was one of the most successful painters of our time...

3. Rmoney's first day at work...

?

4. And Mitt is thinking to himself, "Oh...shit!"

[petronius]

5. #11 should be called "Third-wheel Jesus" - looks like both Adam and Eve are

thinking "seriously, dude, we'll take it from here."

And Hair Loss Jesus needs to stop dropping beard follicles into the patient's chest cavity - put on a couple of hair nets fer chrissakes!

12. This one is on the wall outside ICU of my local hospital, 5 minutes away

I've chosen to have my recent surgeries done at our other hospital 30 miles away.

6. Anyone noticed something about all the images of Jesus?

He's the "traditional" white guy with long hair and a beard.

Not an actual Hebrew.

8. Of course. Jesus was a tall blue-eyed Aryan,

not some swarthy little Semitic guy. Had to have been. He couldn't be, you know, foreign-looking. Also, he spoke 17th-century English.

7. Good lord!

Yes, I typed that on purpose.

[Arkansas Granny]

9. Huh! I never knew Jesus ran a dating service.

[Iggo]

10. Oh great. Goddamit!

I just spent two hours reading lists on Cracked.

Shit!

[Brigid]

11. I know two brothers . . .

Whose parents are Palestinians who emigrated from Jerusalem to New York. They run a grill-type restaurant there. The brothers moved out here and opened a similar place. I'm sure Jesus looked a lot more like them than most of the depictions of Jesus I've seen.

13. #10. Jesus beats another man's face to a bloody pulp? n/t

[hifiguy]

14. "Boxing Jesus" is a whole subcategory??

[Bertha Venation]

15. Boy, that McNaughton guy's site is hateful.

[Arugula Latte]

16. So J.C. showed up in the Garden of Eden, huh?

So much for all the begats over, uh, 2,000 years, yeah, that's it, that led to Gawd gettin' it on with Mary, or something.
