Christ is Risen!


Be Poets of the Logos!

Sarx (σαρξ) is the Greek word for "flesh". This is the blog of a Southern Man (sojourning in Buffalo, NY) attempting to follow God in the way of Jesus.

NB: I'm currently on a "Blogging Sabbatical" to celebrate my 15th Year of online Journaling. While "Daily Tweets", the occasional review of a book, movie or eatery and Photo Blogging all continue, the daily posts have stopped until January 2011. All comments are currently in moderation.

Disclaimer

I who have written this story, or rather this fable, give no credence to the various incidents related in it. For some things in it are the deceptions of demons, other poetic figments; some are probable, others improbable; while still others are intended for the delectation of foolish men. (Closing lines of the Táin Bó Cúalnge)

Catholic League has trouble w/ reality.

First they declare a fatwa in an attempt to deny artistic freedom. Considering they implied threats (“lucky that angry Christians don’t react the way extremist Muslims do when they’re offended – otherwise they may have more than their heads cut off”) in their first press release and considering the artist recieved death threats, it all sounds rather fatwa-ish to me.

Really Christian too: skip over the angry protest and go right for the death threats. Mmm. Jesus got better treatment, early in his career, from the religiously legalistic and conservative political players of his day than did Cosimo Cavallaro.

Seems the problem really was, according to the earliest press releas, that, (HORRORS!) Jesus was depicted naked… you know like it really happened

Then, in further trouble w/ reality, they deny a fatwa ever happened and refuse to forgive anyone. Nice. Very Lenten.

This would be one place where “Christofacist” applies, I think.
