Once again, as long as you are bashing Christians, you can do it with impunity.

I'm sure the next statue will be of a Muslim wearing a suicide bomber's belt and dragging his wife along by a dog leash.

All to further discussion on campus and to beautify the surroundings.

Exactly. We can come up with all kinds of statues that would have been banned.

How about a KKK grand wizard. Hey, I could get behind that if it depicted Robert Bird as the man and had a caption reading: The face of the Democratic Party. That would be very aesthetically pleasing to me.

"The Passion Of The Christ broke into the top 100 list of money makers today at #98. Total receipts so far: $160,803,000"


8 days.......

This film will invigorate the Christian people!!

"That would be very aesthetically pleasing to me."

And funny as well:)

If the world doesn't hate us, we're not trying hard enough.

I wouldn't let it bother me. Let 'em have their fun while they can.

I agree with you completly. For about 3 months now I've had the feeling that we have been gaining momentum in the "Culture War". The tide is turning in our favor, which is why these judges and mayors are going into hyper-drive to force gay marrige, and Christian bashing as mainstream down our throats.

Let me get this straight. It is okay to use public-funds (i.e. your tax dollars and mine) to mock a religion, but not to celebrate it or recognize it's place in history.

[spyone]

Yes, unless it's the Islamic religion.

[mcenedo]

anybody got a picture of this "artwork"?

[per loin]

Odd. The Sanhedrin of Jewish commentators, so loud over the "Passion", are not flooding the media with their outrage over this. Where are Frank Rich and little Chuckie Krautheimer? Where is the soon to be renamed ADL?

I know both Medved and Rabbi Lapin will have the decency to stand against the defamation of a religion not their own, but I expect few others, Christian, Muslim, or Jewish to object to this state sponsered mockery of religious belief.

I add the disclaimer that I am neither Christian, Muslim, nor Jew.

Sounds like some civil disobedience is in order here. A bit of dynamite should do the job. If it's OK for the Mayor of San Francisco to ignore the law, it must be OK for Catholics with equally strong feelings to do the same.

Oh! Wait! I forgot. Outrage is only an excuse for the left.

NAMSMAN sends.

This is the moral equivalent of a burning cross in the front yard of a black family.

It is an outrage, and it is sickening that such defamation is described as 'art'. It is not.

This case has been under discussion for some time now. Has any newsprint outlet printed or a photo of the statue?

If the mitre clearly resembles a phallus, I'm not sure how this can be considered an aesthetic enhancement of campus life. Campus beautification? Open season on Catholics, all year round, eh what?

[Hibernius Druid]

Never mind. Our posts overlapped. Thanks for the photo. Hibernius

I'd like to see the reaction if the statue depicted a Jewish caricature and titled "money grubbing." This statue is hateful and bigoted and should be removed.

[OpusatFR]

Phallus? That's a nice word for an ugly picture.

He has a penis on his head. Let's call it what it is.
