Well, since there are no surviving photos or paintings of Jesus, is this a bad thing?

I live in the bible belt. There are a lot of strongly religious Christians here that are also incredibly gullible, when it comes to religious claims. I’ve actually had some of them send me a photo of “jesus” with text in the photo that says something along the lines of “will you pass this photo of Jesus along, or are you too busy”, or some other sort of guilt trip.

Except it’s a picture of a young Obi-Wan Kenobi.

And they are SERIOUS.

Fact is, you CAN’T post a picture of Jesus, because none exist. The best you can do is post a picture of a man in a beard and say, “hey everybody, it’s Jesus (or that star wars guy, or Jerry Garcia)!”

The title reads:

“Facebook now bans image of Jesus on cross.”

It has nothing to do with photography.

Facebook is a site that hates Christianity and bans Christian images.

This is very similar to what communist dictatorships do..

Our founders wanted America to be a place where people were free to practice their religion. Our constitution guarantees freedom of religion.

In fact, our founders said that America would fail and not survive if its citizens were not people of faith.

George Washington said, “While we are zealously performing the duties of good citizens and soldiers, we certainly ought not to be inattentive to the higher duties of religion. To the distinguished character of Patriot, it should be our highest glory to add the more distinguished character of Christian.”

John Adams said, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people”. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”

Facebooks wants to destroy Christians. Facebook wants to destroy America.
