Make a Jesus In Your Own Image
 
...These figurines are available for purchase thanks to the marketing efforts of a company called "Fishermen, Inc.". This clever company has made it possible for you to pick and choose the Jesus that best fits your personal tastes and hobbies. The idea here is to make a Jesus in your own image...

...Isn't that the very definition of an idol?...

Too bad they don't offer a Prophet Mohammad action figure (complete with a kung fu grip)!

If we could only convince muslims that the terrorists have been drawing pictures of mohammed then the war on terror would be over.

All of these artists, sculptures and painters are going to stand before an Angry God. That would be the figurines and the graphic artist making Jesus to look like Obama. Where is the reverence for our Saviour? And it is not funny one bit. Why have Christians lost reverence for our Saviour? You are as guilty as this company selling the Jesus dolls and the drawings, because you find it hilarious.

If you want to see what Jesus looked like, check out the Shroud of Turin
