On Jesus, of the Chocolate Variety

I suppose I should comment on the Chocolate Jesus sculpture controversy. My view is: it's dumb.

But it brings up an important point.

I'm one of those Westerners who's always griping about the fact that moderate Muslims or moderate Jews never seem to speak up for their religion whenever fanatics make them look bad. I'm constantly groaning about "why don't the regular non-nuts say something?".

Well, when it comes to Christians, the same holds true. Are ordinary, none-too-churchy Catholics going to stand up and say this Dobson nut and his cronies don't speak for them? Somebody should.

I'm sure Chocolate Jesus is deee-licious.
