Weird Naked chocolate Jesus rises again in New York

[The Helper]

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A life-size chocolate sculpture of a naked Jesus will finally be displayed in New York starting in late October, seven months after an outcry by Roman Catholics forced a different gallery to cancel its exhibition.

The chocolate Jesus will be joined by sculptures of several fully clothed saints, but the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights said it will not protest because, unlike before, there are no plans to put the "anatomically correct" Jesus in public view during Holy Week.

How do they know what "parts" to put on the sculpture? The bible does not openly tell that Jesus was a man or woman. At least I don't think it does.

The son of God.

I think that is their biggest lead as of yet. This could turn into a huge debate of whether or not that was a metaphor or if it is that way because men wrote the bible but that is not here nor now. (Sorry if that sounds a bit pretentious.)

Wow. Once again it shows how easily I forget XD And over look a ton of stuff. I'm so stupid

Would be ok. But why naked?

Only reason I can see is for artistic expression. Maybe the artist is trying to make Jesus seem more vulnerable or more forsaken while he is hanging on the cross awaiting death.

Is he in a sexy pose?

As a catholic, I don't really care, so long as it is an accurate representation. Even show him during Holy Week if you want! Show off his stuff!
