I remember when I first saw this image of a laughing Jesus. It took me off guard and I realized I had NEVER seen Jesus depicted as laughing.

While the concept is good, this particular depiction first appeared in Playboy Magazine back in the ‘70s, accompanying a rationalization of Jesus’ teachings with a...specific...spin to them. Given its apparent associations and their intent, it takes on a totally different slant to me, one that is more of satanic mimicry of Jesus giving a siren’s song urging us down the wide way that leads to destruction. Knowing the context, the image becomes almost horrific.
