...but it is also to me offensive because it is using an image of Our Lord to make fun of Mormons.


How do you know it is Jesus, and not John the Baptist or the Angel Moroni?

In case you didn’t know, John the Baptist himself appeared to both Joseph and Oliver Cowdery. IMHO that is the two people kneeling. John the Baptist himself gave them the keys to the priesthood that is critical to get to the highest “Level III” of heaven. No one else gets there except Mormons.

Well, his head is still attached.

Let me put it this way, given the setting, the holy glow, and even the white garment, the resemblence is strikingly similar to how Our Lord has been historically rendered in art. I have no idea how the (fallen?) angel Moroni is presented.
