But this is beside the point. You said "in the way that he uses Jesus." Jesus is a specific religious figure, Sean, that you called out by name. You didn't say God and you didn't say the Lord. You said Jesus. Now I'm asking you to back up your accusation by showing me exactly where President Bush is specifically using Jesus. Can you show me? Can you point it out? <br><br>****************<br><br>[color:blue]VOTE</font color=blue>[color:red] for President George W. Bush on November 2, 2004</font color=red>

<blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>Would you see it as funny if it were mocking the religious figure of, say, Islam? <p><hr></blockquote><p>As Pete pointed out, it's not mocking Jesus. It's mocking the smear techniques of the status-quo candidates (in this case Bush). It could have worked with any generally seen-as-benign figure being ripped apart by a political campaign. Insert Mohammed, Moses, Jesus, Ghandi, Vishnu, Bhudda, or a boy scout for all I care. It would still be the same satire. <br><br>
<br><br>Okay, now that could be offensive to some. However, I for one don't think Jesus was a light-skinned European. Just a hunch. Call me crazy. <br><br>
Well. WE mormons believe that after he finished whatever he was doing over there in the middle east he came over to America and hung out with some of the people here. Maybe he lost some pigment in the travel? <br>Perhaps he appears to us as we would like to see him, or takes the shape of those around him.
