The Jesus Tree
Well, that's what I call it! I found this image today while researching profanity filters for a webmail system at work. I can't remember exactly what the page was about that I found this on or even how it related to what I was searching for at the time. But it's being used as an avatar by someone who calls themselves Fjori on a site called That Forum.
Now surely some will be offended by such an image. Me, well…I actually laughed when I saw it. Is that disrespectful? Sure is. Is it blasphemous? I'd say so. But what you really have to ask yourself is "Is there not some truth here?" I mean, at least here in the United States one has to admit that Christmas has become largely an orgy of commercialism. Sure it's still about family and friends, but it's also a whole lot about "What'd ya get?" For how many people is it all about the man on the cross? Think about it… December 19, 2003 @ 12:46 pm | Category: Brainwork
