So if the Rapture is next week, what happens to Chocolate Jesus?

[saltpoint]

If the chocolate Jesus sculpture is left in the museum, then might we rightly assume that it did not meet God's favor?

If it is seen ascending into the heavens, it seems fair to assume it was holy after all, and that all the fuss over it was misplaced.

Any thoughts?

[Whoa_Nelly]

1. Thought only people would be raptured, not things

but I have no real input as i don't believe in any of that hogwash. :hi:

[Warpy]

2. Chocolate Jesus, chocolate Jesus

Meltin' on the dashboard of my car...

(somebody had to say it)

It'll vaporize when the nukes start to fly. What a waste of chocolate.

[saltpoint]

3. Nukes!? There's going to be nukes?! Uh-oh. I hadn't figured on that

part.

I thought the Rapture was just kind of an illuminated sweep-up of fundies.

I hadn't counted on any nukes.

4. I think it will be the centerpiece of the feast?

[saltpoint]

5. It can't be ruled out.

Is the Feast pre-Rapture down here, or post-Rapture upstairs?

[GreenPartyVoter]

14. Hmmmm. If scenario 1 of rapture before tribulation is true then

of course the guests at the feast will need to eat the chocolate Jesus up there. But if the tribulation happens first, we'll have to nosh Him down here before the world goes up in flames and He melts.

[saltpoint]

18. Timing is everything!

[Bucky]

6. See, now you're making me want to get in some communion eatin'

[peacetalksforall]

7. Make fondue.

[Evergreen Emerald]

8. is it edible?

Is it a sin to ask that?

[saltpoint]

11. I don't know if it's edible or not. I guess it is.

No, I don't think it's a sin to ask.

[mwb970]

9. I would have eaten the ears off by now. /nt

[Ghost in the Machine]

10. mmmmm... chocolate!

[EFerrari]

12. Oh, man. If the Rapture is next week, I'm SO OFF OF THIS DIET.

:rofl:

[saltpoint]

17. LOL! And we've all been tempted by that Chocolate Jesus, dangling, as it

were, in that museum display for all to see.

[madinmaryland]

13. The Flying Spaghetti Monster will reach out with it's noodly appendages and

eat it!!

[sutz12]

15. So, did anybody find out...

was Chocolate Jesus circumcised?

:evilgrin:

[adigal]

29. OMG!!! I hadn't thought about that!! ROFL!!

Now I can't get the question, and the image, out of my mind. Not good!!

[troubleinwinter]

16. God loves smores.

[RedCappedBandit]

19. The rapture already happened

We're all screwed :(

:shrug:

[Blue Belle]

24. Melt it down to make fondu and dip strawberries in it....

It's what Jesus would do. :+

[mloutre]

26. Jeebus, OC, can you quit with the overly long-winded OPs already?

And if you're gonna have your chocolate Jesus, just remember that you're always supposed to bite the ears off first.

[saltpoint]

33. I'm a very discriminating biter. With chocolate especially.

[SemperEadem]

27. Late to the game--what is the chocolate Jesus story?

link?

[saltpoint]

34. I'll try to dig up a link for you, SemperEadem, but in summary,

an artist named Cavallaro has sculpted from chocolate a nude Jesus, full-size. Not unlike the Jesuses of various church walls' crucifixions.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/6509127.stm -- LINK ADDED

Debate ensued. Was this blasphemous to depict Jesus in this manner, or just one more medium in an artists's arsenal. As it happens, the artist is a Christian and claims sincerely that he means no blasphemy.

Further complicating the dispute was the figure's penis, which is in prominent display on the sculpture. Whether it was the chocolate part or the penis part which ruffled feathers among those objecting is not clear, but it's likely one or the other.

The museum where it was to be exhibited backed out and will not make a public exhibition of the sculpture. According to reports, many people have since phoned to offer to buy the sculpture, or offer permanent exhibition space for it.

[SemperEadem]

44. thank you!

It's funny, really... considering graven images are supposedly against their beliefs.

[saltpoint]

46. It makes me scratch my head sometimes. There is a fundie Protestant

church in or near Monroe, Ohio with a huge statue of Jesus on the front couple of acres. This thing is gigantic. His hands are coming out of the ground and are both pointed in an upwards paralell, as if he's signallying "Touchdown!"

It's right along I-75, I think just south of the St. Rd. 63 exit, if you're ever over that way.

Bring a barf bag.

[adigal]

28. He MEELLLLTTTTTTSSS in the heat from Hell!!

The heat that will come forth through the earth, as the rapture occurs!

[laugle]

30. I heard "Sweet Jesus" was bought by someone today!

[nyrnyr1994]

31. Don't forget Cheesus too!

Behold the power of Cheesus!

32. Indeed.

What a friend we have in cheeses.

[saltpoint]

36. LOL!

[FVZA_Colonel]

37. "Tobias Funke, M.D. Analrapist"

:7

No matter how many times I see that I ALWAYS end up laughing! I think I found my new desktop.

[saltpoint]

35. Any votes for Cavallaro's Chocolate Jesus sculpture for TIME's Man of the

Year?

Or chocolate sculpture of the year.

Or whatever.

[EFerrari]

38. You know, it should get "Man of the Year"

because as a culture, we seem to have trouble with real men or real people, for that matter.

The Puritans would have burned him for a witch and you'd only hope someone would be nearby with a graham cracker and a marshmallow.

[saltpoint]

39. The Puritans had marshmallows? Good lord. I had no idea.

Those craven bastards!

[EFerrari]

40. They weren't all big hats and turkeys.

:rofl:

[saltpoint]

41. LOL!

:hi: :thumbsup: :party: :rofl:

[WonderGrunion]

42. Well he gets together with

A marshmallow Buddha and a couple of grahm cracker Hindu dieties.

Next thing you know, heavenly smores.

Mmmmmmmm sacrilicious. :evilgrin:

[saltpoint]

47. An ecumenical feast!

High on calories, but mighty tasty.
