Re: Storm in US over chocolate Jesus - BBC

This level of vindictiveness is 180 degrees from what Jesus taught,
as
represented in the Gospels.

Love your enemy. If your enemy strikes your cheek, turn the other
cheek so that he can strike that one too. Forgive.


Personally, I don't see anything wrong with the chocolate Jesus. It's
not mean-spirited or cruel or an attack on anybody. Does everybody
have to relate to Jesus in the exact way that the Catholic Church
does
it, or Bill Donohue will crush them?
