looking for a specific picture to drop in one of the Religious privilege doesn't exist on DU threads in response to a post bemoaning someone once posting a pic of Jesus with rockets.

(9,356 posts)That was the funniest thing I've ever read on FreakRepublic. A few years ago, one of its members offered to do a free redesign of the site. You know, upgrade it from the existing circa-1996 look, add PayPal links for donors, all the good stuff on any modern website.
The damn site EXPLODED in outrage. Nope, we don't want none of that new-fangled Web stuff. Might make us look like one of them durn lib'rul sites. Leave Brit...er, Free Republic alone!1!
The member who suggested the redesign couldn't believe the response. He got so frustrated that he finally signed off by posting: "Ugh. Fire bad, cave good."

(9,356 posts)Definitely worth watching if you can find it. Released last year.
From the Spanish director Aram Gerriga. Who apparently came to the US, saw phenomena like televangelists and snake-handlers, and went "WTF?"
That's probably one of the most valuable things about "American Jesus." All the crazy crap we Americans take for granted is seen thru the fresh eyes of someone who didn't grow up here.
Which serves to show just how screwed we really are when it comes to religious privilege...
