As someone who left the Protestant Church on good terms
I like the whimsy of Zombie Jesus.
However, someone alerted this thread. so I cleared it out while DU'ers could click on edit history in OP to see graphics.
Ultimately, after this thread REFUSED TO DIE, I decided to resurrect the original graphics.
IMO, it's way too silly to be offensive.

REASON FOR ALERT
This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.
ALERTER'S COMMENTS
We have many Christian DUers. This is hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, and inappropriate - especially on Easter Sunday.
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sun Apr 20, 2014, 11:57 AM, and the Jury voted 3-4 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Especially on a day that is ruled by a magic rabbit hiding colorful eggs and candies. I'm sorry, I respect all faith in a compassionate way (unless given faith wants to oppress,) but this alert is just silly and overly sensitive.

Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Trash
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE

The DU directive to "respect the feelings of others" on the board is obviously meaningless, unless,
of course, you're a religion-hating atheist.

(45,319 posts)tools of Satan, they cheer for his hate speech and bigotry daily here on DU. It is amazing to me, because they expect so much out of others, their preachers rail against our families and children and they do not object. Their peers in other nations create laws to put us in jail for life and they do not object, they do not take action, they nod along and post about how Francis must not be questioned.....

(25,699 posts)Where are you getting the parallels from?
Bluenorthwest
(45,319 posts)about actual fellow DUers. Hypocrites. 'Don't mock us it puts a glitch in our libeling of you and your entire community'.
For Easter the Bishops in Uganda praised the anti gay laws, Francis said nothing and DU cheered for him. But they alert on a comic. Not a single word from the 'faith community' against the shit going down in their name in Uganda. Plenty of praise for the leaders responsible.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I don't see the offense.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: An obviously mean spirited and malicious post against the religious members of this board, just a thought, Catholics as a majority have voted for our President, Teddy, Bobby and Jack were Catholics, our Vice President is a proud and proclaimed Catholic, this shitty and childish mockery of faith is something RWers do to Islam and Pagans. We shouldn't. Entire thread is deplorable
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Magical sky pixie day seems to have set people on edge.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The OP was enough warning that religiously-sensitive people might be offended by posts in the thread and it didn't get hidden so....
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
