My Sweet Lord

For those of you who have not seen the chocolate Jesus that caused death and arson threats against a gallery and hotel in Manhatten, as well as sizeable protests, the artist has a pic of it:

wow. isn't he normally wearing a loincloth sort of thing?
i mean....jesus's penis in chocolate? sort of a little creepy.
more creepy than just trying to decide how well endowned he should be represented as.

gah. I'm going completely the wrong direction with this aren't i?

Yes, usually there is a loincloth, this artist is a fan of Greco-Roman and Rennaisance sculpture though, so nudity would be fitting.

You are definitely a bit too focused on the chocolate Jesus penis though. What is wrong with you Al? You sicko. You disgust me.

Personally, I think that the reason people are complaining is because they pictured Jesus as being more of a John Holmes, because God's penis should be bigger than the penis of some porn star. I think this is the true issue here. The Bible clearly states in Ezekial 23:20 that being hung like a donkey is desirable and who should be more desirable than the Lord?

Ezekial 23:20
She lusted after lovers whose attentions were gross and bestial\

umm.
i see nothing about donkeys.

Woah, what version of the Bible are you using? The Hebrew is כ ותעגבה על פלגשיהם אשר בשר חמורים בשרם וזרמת סוסים זרמתם which translates as "She was a lover/luster of male concubines whose...umm..flesh..was as the flesh of a donkey and whose emission was as of the emission of a horse. The word chamowr (male donkey) is in there.
