Are you saying “Cheese Nun” is equivalent to “Tubby, Womanizing Jesus”? That they should accept the latter if they’re OK witht he former?

If JC was a real, historical person (I don’t know) he was probably not the kind of man most on this board would want to mock.

Yeah, the gross Jesus makes even me cringe, and people here know how much I love to make fun of things. But I don’t see any irony or whatever in the Cheese Nun. There’s no comparison.

I’ve heard of a nun who makes cheeses.
She does it to glorify Jesus.
Keeps a snack in her weeds
While she prays with her beads
But whenever she smells it she sneezes.

Friendly, are you serious? I don’t understand what it is you don’t understand about the distinction here. There is nothing dishonorable about a nun who likes cheese, is there? But Jesus, who is “God” to Christians, is portrayed as a disgusting, fat, slovenly womanizer? Of course that is going to be offensive to Christians. It’s even offensive to me. Jesus was nothing more than a kindhearted rebel intellectual rabbi in my opinion, and I hate to see good rabbis presented in a poor light . . .
