“What he wrote is disturbing,” I replied, “though I hasten to add that I do not believe it was intentional. Christians believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, albeit in human form. Thus, he is not just another human being.”

No matter, Cenedella has convinced me that he is well meaning. I am also convinced that he is more sensitive to other demographic groups than he is Christians.

Will the Catholic League protest his Santa crucified? No. Good intentions, while not dispositive, are important when assessing such matters. Also Cenedella’s willingness to engage me is much appreciated. Besides, I save my real salvos for egregious attacks on Catholicism...

That’s offensive and needs to be removed immediately.

I’d like to see the sensitivity this, so-called, artist would have ave making a Santa Claus Muslim.

It’s been displayed on a regular basis since 1998. It seems a little late to get all outraged about it now.

I don’t even find it all that offensive. I think the artist was making a [albeit “in your face] statement denouncing the commercialization of Christmas - and I don’t disagree with his sentiments.

Sort of a lame metaphor given that Christmas and Easter are carelessly mixed, perhaps the Easter bunny in a nativity scene for balance?

It’s OK to put up displays like this but put one up showing Muhammad in any form and stand by for bullets coming your way.
