I couldn't possibly comment! (But, yes!)

I think you might mean a 'certain' other religion, nfk?

NfkDumpling Wed 12-Jun-13 21:17:18

It's good to know that Jesus is so hip, cool and trendy - and rather impressively built.

If it were another religion there would be a good chance the building would be blown up!

Ditto.

With you there, jingl!

No!!!!! Love Banksy! grin

If nothing else it's a darn sight better painting than the Banksy ones.

I thought it reminded me of Dali's Christ on the Cross so I googled it and found that the whole series 'Private Life of a Masterpiece' is on utube grin. I've wanted to rewatch that for ages.

Or a controversial one as long as it isn't religious. wink

The gable end of my house is available for a nice mural. grin

Amd in answer to the OP – no.

Some Hindu (for instance) depictions of gods are far weirder than that. Nobody takes offence even if they don't 'like' them.

feetlebaum I try, sure, but that doesn't mean I always succeed. smile

Re the picture - that can't be Jesus - that's a Northern European skin colour.

noodles "I'm an atheist, but I do try not to offend believers"

Some of them will be disappointed...

Ella46 Wed 12-Jun-13 15:26:20

What next? Jesus doing a bungee jump?
I don't get it.

noodles Wed 12-Jun-13 15:22:48

I'm an atheist, but I do try not to offend believers and I'm pretty sure this will offend some Christians. Can you imagine the uproar if this was a depiction of Mohammed, or another diety?

Tegan Wed 12-Jun-13 14:43:21

It was well done but I'm not sure I like how it depicts Jesus [and I'm not a Christian].

Mishap Wed 12-Jun-13 14:39:02

Very skilled piece of painting though - impressive.

j08 Wed 12-Jun-13 14:24:07

Not sure I would How do people think of these weird things?

Wonder if it could be classed as religious. Or not?
