Date: 2008-12-05, 4:21PM ESTin these troubled times we must repent! I have seen the light and it is glorious! I am embarking on a journey which provides no use for material items! my lifes belongings are free to the loving children of our lord jesus christ! so many things to see please call to see all the items! they must be gone by dec. 20th please call amber 413 363 7375 here are a few items i have pictures for! god bless
My question is, if you just found Jesus as your personal Savior, why would you be giving away his portrait? Why give away that kick-ass guitar when you can use it to make Jesus rock? Is the old man included? He looks like the father from So I Married an Axe Murderer. If I don't believe in Jesus, do I still get the items or should I just lie? A tandem bike? I am so traveling to Hartford. So it was four questions.

Lol. I'd personally give that picture away too! I was wondering if the man was included with the guitar too. Stop lying to us and go wrap gifts. I'm going to cure my boredom with Craigslist now. Thanks!
That picture is hideous! The worst depiction of jesus that I have seen since I was at the Albuquerque Balloon Festival in 1983. He was painted in a self-consciously primitive style on the side of 40-foot balloon, with the stigmata displayed in all their crimson glory. Yeah, I'll follow that guy anywhere.
It was fun watching him deflate, however.
The picture of Jebus would have to go to one of his children . . . you'd only hang a picture like that if it was a relative.

I think that has to be from the Eastern Orthodox church because the pictures I have seen of Jesus from that church give him strange skin colors. I have seen some where he is gray and of course this one looks green to me. Sort of more accurate than the blond hair/blued eyed versions you see out of the western European church art.

It must be from the Eastern Orthodox church. I have seen a lot of work like that and they usually give Christ strange skin colors such as grey or dark green. Of course they may be more realistic portrayals than the typical blond hair, blue eyed European Jesus paintings. I think the worst I have ever seen was when I was teaching religion and the artwork in one of the stories pictured Jesus as having reddish hair in a buzz cut.

Jebus...I used to have Homer screaming "Save me Jebus" as my ringtone on a previous cellphone. My dad informed me that when he dies he is giving me all the artwork he has collected over the years. Too bad it is of a little known artist here in my hometown. I think only people in this town know the guy. My dad has the largest collection. His last piece set him back $25 at a garage sale.
I love the Jesus portrait. That picture alone should be able to keep the demons away from my household. It's probably used for exorcisms. (smile)
But good questions - all.

I seriously wonder if whomever posted this ad would tack on a charge or refuse to give the items to someone who wasn't a believer. That is what I take from the ad. What would make that Jesus portrait better is if the eyes had tiny LED red lights and every so often they would flash to show his anger that way if you had kids and it started flashing you could jsut say that the kids have angered Jesus.
