When you “google,” "Jesus," the number one website is not the Vatican, not Billy Graham’s page, not Purpose Driven Life; it is a dressup doll of Jesus on the cross. He looks to be wearing Jockey briefs and you can dress him in a hula skirt with coconut bra, ballerina tutu, or my personal favorite, a devil costume for Halloween.
Obviously, it wouldn’t shock me if Christians take offense at this. Yet, at least two things stand in the way.
1. We are used to people trying to make fun of Jesus and our faith. That’s been going on for 2000 years.
2. We know Jesus can take care of himself. He is big enough that we don’t lose sleep when people try to be silly, clever, or spiteful against him and Christians. Especially from media in America.
So many Christians speak out whenever people make broad brush characterizations about Islam or speak about it in a ridiculing or offensive way. I would ask that my Muslim friends send an e-mail letting Google know that www.jesusdressup.com is a bit much. It will get more attention coming from you.
