  • Iraqis Insulted by Buddy Jesus!

    Damn, that's worse than Walter Flanaghan's Dog

    Jesus... (Literally!)

    "Dogma", our fourth film, resulted in me getting into all sorts of trouble with a group called the Catholic League.

    Seven years later, that's all a distant memory: "Dogma" hasn't been the focus of religious ire in close to a decade.

    Until now. And this time, it ain't Christians who're up in arms.

    "If it wasn't so serious it would be funny," said a coalition spokesman, Major Will Willhoite. The guy's got a point.

    It's a bummer that the Buddy Christ - meant as a symbol of a non-judgmental, forward-thinking, fictional version of the Catholic church - is being linked to something like this. God-willing, it doesn't go further than this.

    In the midst of something like this, you'd think I wouldn't hawk merchandise.

    And yet...

      I could sympathize if they turned to violence to protest exposure to the work of Kevin Smith, really. But this is just a silly misunderstanding.

        Jesus himself though is also one of God's prophets in Islam, and Muslims accept the story that he was born to a virgin mother. So actually depictions of him (and Moses) should technically also be taboo.

          Sounds like the idiots are still fishing for reasons to be outraged. Ignore them and they'll go away.

            is there a picture of this?

            I still haven't seen the film, but I keep meaning to.

              I would try to google Buddy Jesus.

                I expect Apolyton threads to have all relevant info pertaining to the subject of the OP within the thread itself.

                In the future, I would like to be able to get everything I need from the internet from one website- Apolyton.

                    It's "Buddy Christ" you heathens!
                    “I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
                    - John 13:34-35 (NRSV)
