Storm in US over chocolate Jesus

I don't see the problem with this. First I thought there might be something to do with the fact that the church normally likes to think that Jesus was white. So what, it's made of chocolate and shows him naked :unsure:

First off their is hardly a "Storm in the US" over this. Nobody gives a **** other than a handful of religious people, and internet bloggers looking for a chance to bash the religion. Secondly why do you people keep bring up the white/black thing, that has nothing to do with this. Once one person says everyone is mad becuase its choclate and note white as a joke, people come along and then it slowly starts to be taken as fact and then from there on everyone thinks thats what the whole debate is about. It was stupid to even bring up race.

Only in America.

Wow, such an orginal and thought out reply. Please, tell me more on how you feel. I came into this thread and my first thought was "I wonder what ipodman715 has to say about this". Can you please go into further detail on how you feel about this complex issue, because the insight from such an intelligent man would be great.

Care to elaborate? As I'm pretty sure this level of social insight deserves exploration...

Artist finds sweet redemption in offers for Jesus

NEW YORK - An anatomically correct chocolate sculpture of Jesus Christ infuriated Catholics and even led to threats, but the artist says offers to buy or exhibit the piece have been pouring in.

Artist Cosimo Cavallaro said Saturday that because of "some people who are fanatics" and the threats he received, he had stored the sculpture in a refrigerated truck in an undisclosed location.

Cavallaro said the controversy spurred "thousands" of e-mail messages from people offering help, donations and exhibition space."It's quite amazing," he said.

It's sad that it didn't go on display originally but he should have the right to get it displayed somewhere, I would sell it...brown GOLD
