Sometimes the trash takes itself out, and today I did just that.
twitter be gone, if I cant view the owners tweets without seeing porn and blasphemy in the same pic, it aint the place for me.
Agree.
I think you had too much turkey.
Elon Musk is doing some truly wonderful things at Twitter. But far be it from you or I or anyone to start idealizing him as a conservative hero. He’s not.
It’s not Jesus. It’s the 12th Century teacher Peter Abelard who refused to be tempted by a prostitute. His students had hired the prostitute to test the piety of their teacher and he persevered through faith and prayer.
Not to mention his love for Heloise who later became his wife.
I saw it. I thought it was in poor taste.
Musk is a libertarian atheist who kisses up to Xi and China because he needs their manufacturing. He’s not a conservative. Obviously he’s a Republican but he has also said that Trump should go away and let DeSantis run.
Christ was fully divine and fully human with all human temptations, and prayed for strength against those temptations, thus modeling the behavior we should exhibit in the same situations. The picture shows Christ praying when encountering a situation that many men would find to be a sexual temptation. His conduct in the scene is irreproachable and sinless.
Insofar as the picture of Christ is used to create ridicule or is designed entirely out of contempt toward God and His law of chastity, then it would indeed be blasphemous, but I personally don't see it that way. Perhaps I'm being too charitable or naive.
However, that image being used to score some sort of point is real sacrilege and, to your point, a good reason to stay away from Twitter.
Don’t pay attention to the FreeRepublic hate post above!

What are you talking about.
It might be a racy take on St. Thomas Aquinas who had his family locked him in a castle with a prostitute when he explained that he wanted to become a priest.
That’s nice. It’s quite funny. So is this post.
Several people have explained that it’s not Jesus, so where is your retraction and apology?
So - the man is labeled “Donald trump” - what makes you think it’s Jesus?
Have you a photograph that shows what Jesus really looked like?
Methinks someone doth protest too much.
