Is artwork depicting Jesus Christ as nude or with pubic

[Jonathan Bailey]

Boring answer, it all depends on context and place.

Jesus is commonly depicted with long hair. In most Catholic schools, it's against decorum to have long hair.

Below the belt, well, even Jesus can't pull that off.

if one is a boy, that is


I can only imagine God and Christ to be "large like stallion".

 

[Jonathan Bailey]

I never understood that. I know Christians that are completely bent out of shape if there is any nudity on a movie or TV show, but they let their kids watch slasher flicks, no problem.

Or cowboy movies with tons of shootings or war films with tons of killings. Nudity and sex is not perverse in God's eyes: killing, false modesty, hatred, ignorance, pollution of His green earth, greed, selfishness, hypocrisy and vanity is.

I am not sure if God is not so understanding that he finds ignorance unforgivable. I would say that He does not appreciate the ignorant that do not find out and continue to live in their own ignorance on purpose.

hair revealed perverse?

No.

This thread is so hurtful to me as a Muslim.
Freedom of speech does not mean freedom to hurt emotions.
But my religion teaches me to be patient but peacefully voice my hurt.

or making rash assumptions?

Pretty happy my "assumptions" are evidence based and likely to be accurate. Feel free to prove me wrong by acting as anything other than a completely contemptible human being.

It's a weird dichotomy that Americans have made central to their culture. The British started the fetishising of "modesty", but the Americans said "hold my beer...".

Fig leaves were donned because the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil was tasted. Jesus tasted the fruit of the other tree as he hung from it, of life and death, and so had no more need of fig leaves.

I can watch a movie where some guy literally guts a young woman and no one pays it any mind. That same young woman in a movie where you catch a glimpse of her bare breast and some people short out. It is disturbing and irrational.
