If a free publicity shot from the theatre was not available then there are some nice portrayals in Rome, from very early Christian times, where he is shown clean faced and with long blonde hair (as, of course angels are usually portrayed, but then angels are supposed to be both beautiful and sexless).

Actually it is quite interesting that almost all portrayals show Jesus with very long hair, despite the male fashion of the times having been very much for short hair.

These so-called christians do seem in denial on so much.

Or maybe the correct way to look at it is that the church has been raping Jesus (name) from time immemorial. Totally ignoring how Jesus said to love thy neighbor as thyself, and whatever you do unto the least of my brethren you do unto me.

Hell is full of Popes, Bishops, etc. Why can’t we just find a way to send the whole f#@king thing there in one quick trip.

And the pope with his condom thing and Africa – he should be tried for mass murder. Just as the church should be tried for mass murder for its past.

A-woman!

So can we get back to discussing the play and Christian attitudes to Queer people?

Good morning to you, Sir.

I could only surmise that my French lesson, like your Swiss education, has been completely lost on you. I suspect your reference to the word ‘foutre’ means that you are aware of its use as the equivalent for the word “f***” in gutter English so that the French expression “va te faite foutre” would mean “Go f*** yourself” in the King’s English. Quaint, but just short of a gentleman’s vocabulary.

The fact remains that you have failed to detract my attention from the inherent pride and pretentiousness which brought you to impulsively analyse a play that you had neither read nor seen, and which is apparently a part of your nature, or, as we say nowadays, part of your gene pool.

No doubt, you will be among those standing in line at the box office to confirm your prejudices regarding Jo Clifford’s play, and you can surely understand that I ardently anticipate your intelligent and scholarly comments, in the language of your choice, bien entendu.

Enfin, allow me to wish you a cultivated “Wertfreiheit”, and a most pleasnt weekend doing what you do best: exaperating intelligent people.

You claim to be an academic but behave (and reason) like a Tabloid Journalist.

Theotherone – you haven’t proved anything yet you’ve merely pointed out that some people question the authenticity of some non-christian writing – just because you say it on a web site doesn’t actually make it a fact.
