What really kills me about all this is the ease by which Atheists are painted as the bad guys.
I dug a little deeper and found the website referenced in the article, Hello Jesus. It features a picture of the baby Jesus’s head affixed to the famous Che Guevara "Revolutionary" picture. The montage is horrific – Che Guevara was a repressible communist and hedonist of questionable moral fiber. Why would anybody morph a picture of the baby Jesus onto Guevara’s head? Talk about a mixed message!
When asked: Why is it modelled on Che Guevara? The Churches Advertising Network resonded:
“A challenging face, a hero, a real revolutionary. It's Jesus who changed the world, not Che. And it's not "gentle Jesus, meek and mild" - it's modelled on the unmistakable image of Jesus with the crown of thorns.”
One can take the Christmas: Jesus: Hero or Zero poll here. The questions are weird enough to make one think all sorts of unkind things. Vote with your heart!
- Jesus: hero or zero?
- Jesus: baby or revolutionary?
- Jesus: black or white?
- Christmas = baby Jesus or turkey?
- Jesus: God or refugee?
- Get rid of Santa or Jesus?
- Jesus: swear word or name?
- Did Jesus bring peace or war?
