UPDATE:
Some were offended by a photo of Jesus as a gymnast doing Iron Cross on the Rings.
I’ve removed it from the post. But you can still see the photo by clicking the link, if you wish.

This is pretty bad taste
Have to agree. This is really in very bad taste. I’d like it if you kept this kind of junk out of your site. No need to offend any sort of religious group.
My apologies to those who are offended by this image.
I’ll remove the image, but leave the link so that those who are interested can still see it.

How come people can complain all day about APO/TCO but you never do anything? You get some complaints about Jesus doing gymnastics and you’re all in a rush to kowtow to the weak of stomach and thin of skin.
Sher, sher…there, there.
I did cave on removing this image. Out of respect for those of Christian faith.
I’m more willing to compromise freedom of speach for the sincerely religious than for those who let APO/TCO get under their skin. It’s obvious he says the things he does to deliberately provoke.
It reminds me of the images of Mohammed that offend Muslims. Should those be posted online. Or not?
I’m not sure.
APO/TCO is against my religion because the nasty stuff he says is unChristian.
Thanks, Rick. Leaving the link let’s those who choose to view the picture to go ahead, but I don’t have to see it every time I look at your site. (which is way too often)
Sorry Rick, I should have elaborated. More bad taste about the person who took the photograph and who posed for it. I am glad it was taken down though, it really irked me especially this close to Easter.
Love your site though!!
