Don't most churches already have a naked Jesus statue somewhere over the altar?

Yeah but that one doesn't have "fuck me" eyes
The eyes rolling back in the head you see on some of them is more of a “keep fucking me”
They aren't rolling back in in his head. They are looking up at daddy.
The cropped pic in the article is useless; here's a more illustrative one:
My gay ass doesn't see an issue at all with this.
Then again it's religion. And as we are currently experiencing, that is a shit show no matter what.
Straight here; I still don't see how this is considered homoerotic. Is it because you can see the side of his legs? What's next? His ankle will be visible? I'd like to see the people who look at it and say it is inappropriate.
Thank you I couldn't understand at all the complaint. This makes a bit more sense but honestly still decently tasteful?
A body is a body
It's one thing finding the image to be erotic, but what confuses me more is how it could be specifically homoerotic. Is that finger thing he's doing a secret homo pick up sign that I don't know about (but presumably conservative christians do...)? Were male christians aroused but not female ones?
IDK looks like all the other catholic imagery I saw growing up.
Maybe if you’re upset about stupid sexy Jesus, you have some introspection to do
I think the problem is that some men look at hot Jesus and feel... Funny. But they are Christian men... So it MUST be the image that's not just erotic but homo-erotic. It is the image that's giving them a semi, nothing to do with them, at all.
Yes, it's very gay.
Wait until they find out he isn't a white conservative.
Fanboys. Happens everytime a new marvel movie launches.
On the other hand: Nobody complained about the very light skin color?
Meanwhile, Jesus in 20 centuries of art:
Effeminate? That's the problem? In comparison to your manly, butch, hairy Jesus You usually see?
Edit: Not to mention, that a supposedly middle eastern man is white as a sheet with rosy, very kissable, lips.
TBF I'd love to see a Wolverine style, totally ripped, bear sized Jesus covered in hair with a snarl, the broken bits of cross still being nailed to his hands and feet.
EDIT: I wouldn't go as far as to get some AI image creator just for this but if any of you peeps have one, I'm curious what it would come up with.
Wait till those Über-Christians find out his skin was most probably - you'll have to be strong now - not white.
Or that he was naked as shit while being crucified. For aaaaaaall the dudes to see.
Sounds kinda gay to me.
It's only gay if you push back.
I don't understand worshipping s dude who lived 2000 years ago who preached love by your fellow man, but you twist it to be the most bigoted philosophy. Mr. Rogers, despite his immense kindness and ability to forgive would be ashamed to call you a Christian.
I'm sorry... are depictions of Jesus not supposed to be erotic?
I just want to know why he has a cleft beard. What's up with that? Do people somewhere really comb their beard that way?
Is it because he’s not blonde? /s
