Christians Riot over Desecration of Jesus
Thousands of Christians, across the nation, spilled into the streets after morning church services Sunday, rioting and burning cars in protest over a pornographic toy company’s release of products modeled after the images of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Moving into the heart of major cities across the United States, the rioters targeted pornographic novelty stores, bookstores that carry magazines such as "Playboy" and "Penthouse", movie theaters showing the movie "Brokeback Mountain" and for good measure lingerie stores. Smoke filled the noontime air as crowds chanted "Our God is an Awesome God and Jesus is our Lord and Savior".
Plans were being made on Wednesday to announce an edict against the owners of the pornographic toy company. One pastor of a major Christian church was reported to have ordered the "physical death" of all those even remotely responsible……
Oh wait….this never actually happened.
I mean, yes, the toy company is making sex toys in the image of Jesus, Mary, Judas and Moses, but the Christian response was, well, a lot different. I made all the other stuff up in order to show the difference between how Christians respond to the desecration of our holy icons versus how islam responds to the "desecration" of theirs.
Jesus teaches us to "love your enemies". As for the article about the sex toys, Agape Press has done a good job of reporting this, but because of the subject matter, I will only post the first paragraph and the link here. I do encourage you to read the whole article.
CAUTION: The following story contains descriptions that some may find offensive
(AgapePress) - In what is further evidence of the porn industry's disdain of Christianity, an Internet-based sex toy company has begun selling items modeled after religious icons.

Unbelieveable!!! And I didnt even read the whole article. I stopped after the first paragraph because I felt like I was reading something that I shouldnt be seeing. I suppose I should not be shocked at these types of things, and maybe I am somewhat sheltered when it comes to the pornography industry, but how can someone be so sick and deranged as to even think up something so vile, much less manufacture it? It made me feel dirty just reading about it. These people live like there is no God.....I have to wonder if they have ever considered the possibilty that they are wrong and what the consequences for something like this would be. I realize we have to pray for people like this (as difficult as it may be - AND IT IS DIFFICULT FOR ME!), but should not some Christian organization such as the AFA or another take them to task about this? I fear that this may soon be the type thing we see in store windows at our local malls if someone does not stand up and cry foul.
The lengths these people will go to in order to degrade Christians is remarkable.
I had trouble reading the article too. It is just more of the moral decay of our country and the world in general.
