So it's Friday and I have not heard from Mr. Tv. I guess I'm feeling kind of down about it but I think I'm going to put myself out there and call him, just to see.
In other news, have you all heard this story about the chocolate Jesus?

I saw this story on the news last night and I am shocked and disappointed to see today that they are cancelling this. I was born and raised Catholic. I maintain a certain relationship with Jesus, God, the whole Holy Trinity and what have you. However as I got older I realized there were a lot of things I didn't agree with in this religion. To me, I just take the parts I like and I maintain a spirituality about it. What gets me about this is Cardinal Egan calling it a 'sickening display' and whatnot.
Well isn't the whole priests having sex with little boys really more sickening than a chocolate jesus? I could think of a lot of things more sickening than this. I mean there is so much about the catholic church that makes me quite sick. A chocolate jesus? Well it's art. It's easter time. Instead of a chocolate bunny, chocolate jesus. People really need to just calm down. I don't find it offensive. I actually think it's kind of cool. It's not tasteless. I saw this story on the news last night and they had the gallery owner on and I was thinking I should contact him and let him know that it's really not that bad. Well I guess I'm too late since they pulled it now.
I don't really get what the catholics are so uppity about when they have so much dysfunction running through their holy water. A chocolate jesus doesn't really make me think less of my religion. It's the rampant hatred that it teaches, the intolerance, the deniance of self that really makes me think less.
That's just my two cents for today on Catholicism. I would have like to see the chocolate jesus, maybe taken a bite. Oh well.

I have to say that I agree with you on the whole belief thing and also that they should not have cancelled the show... people should be allowed to express their thoughts however they wish .I will say though for myself, I wouldn't have seen it because it would have offended me... not that it was chocolate but because of how it was anatomically correct without clothes on and as a spiritual person I would chose to use my free will and ignore a representation I don't like but not violate others freedom of expression.
it's just a penis... a chocolate penis....
