There's Is Genuine Way "McJesus" Is Legitimate, Substantial Art With Real Meaning, Relevance
(Apollonian, 16 Jan 19)

Renfro, buddy: thou must get past thy self-righteousness, by which thou merely reduces to the very same Pharisaism which thou seeketh to denounce.

Say thou were Jew, brought-up in the religion so that thou had no real or other context, too prejudiced towards one's own, and then say that Jew looked upon the large ostensive "Christian" society/culture--and remember this would include <b>not only the real, true Christianity</b>, but also in addition all the off-shoots and various marginalist look-alikes and knock-offs of the real thing (like Mormonism, Jehovah's Witnesses, et al). THEN, that which thou here sees as mere crass mockery might begin to making more sense, eh?

But it wouldn't really be, or ONLY be a "mockery" of the real thing, would it?--for even if it was, it would just roll off like water off duck's back--as the real, true Christianity can easily withstand such pathetic attempts and endeavors, eh? It would rather be a larger, broader sort of "mockery" of the whole, large, entire complex, including not only the real, true Christianity, wouldn't it?--which is otherwise hidden or at least blurred quite a bit. And then it ("McJesus") makes more sense, not only to any Jew brought-up exclusively in that religion, BUT ALSO, quite possibly, to any other non-Christian--Hindus, Buddhists, et al., even the Musselmen who otherwise acknowledge Christ, though only as prophet.

I maintain thus it's (McJesus) legitimate art w. genuine merit and real substance--as serious Christian myself, it doesn't bother me, really--thou needeth to broaden thy aesthetical perspective, buddy--get "hip" as the beatniks used to say.

I don’t know. He says he’s against the Israeli occupation of Palestine so?
I think perhaps he just wanted attention for his so called art work and like many no talents he created something that would shock and get attention.

But the Israelis choosing to borrow this specific piece from the Finnish for their national museum was deliberate….a way to insult Christians.

“Refro”: it’s not “babble,” sucker–thou just can’t read, evidently. I merely explained how “McJesus” could well be seen as real, genuine ART if one only looked at it without thy Pharisaist self-righteousness, pretending thou are soooo put-out, tut, tut–but that’s thy problem, not mine.
