What would Jesus Shoot?
You talkin' to me? Then who else are you talkin' to? You talkin' to me? Well I'm the only one here.
Who do you think you're talking to?
Of all the portrayals of Jesus, imposed on our cultural subconscious, this has to be one of the more funny, or sad images. Part of our perception of religion is made up of what we see it doing every day, how it relates to our daily intake of information and culture, usually most of which are not Christian. Every painting has a history and motivation from the artist which I think would be interesting to find out in this case. The other side of a painting is the audience. People's reactions are easier to find when put on-line as they are almost anonymous. These are easier to find out. Especially as a lot are on one site. This picture is part of the Ship of Fools website, and they are running a caption competition there at the moment. My entry you can see above.
