A Chinese-born artist named Terence Koh has created a plaster sculpture that depicts Jesus with a raging boner. That is him in the center surrounded by 73 other figures that range from Michelangelo’s David to ET. The artwork is going to be displayed in the U.K. and evangelical Christian groups are outraged about it. Here is a great quote from one of the upset Bible thumpers.
Christian Voice National Director Stephen Green fumed: “It’s the Lord Jesus Christ being humiliated, ridiculed and villified.
“It’s just so disgusting, pornographic and offensive, it’s hard to find words to express the outrage.
“I have written asking for the statue’s destruction.”
Let’s stop and think about this logically for a second. We can all probably agree that at one point in history there was a man named Jesus which the Bible may be based on. Regardless of super powers let’s assume that he was an anatomically correct male and all the parts worked correctly. Has there ever been a man born on this earth that had a penis that didn’t get a boner? Between the ages of 12 to 14 you can get a boner if the wind blows right. So I think it is safe to say that at some point in his life, maybe it was only once, Jesus had a boner.
If we can agree that he had at least one boner in his life then what is the big deal if someone wants to depict him with the boner? If he did have super powers then can’t we agree it would have been a super boner i.e. the most powerful boner of all time?
That sounds to me like something that should be memorialized in sculpture.

that’s really weird, because actually my boner looks a lot like Jesus…without the beard obviously…
Interesting thought. One of Christianity’s basic doctrines is that Jesus was a man without sin. There are also those that believe that even “impure” thoughts were sin. Additionally, most Christians sects believe that Jesus was both God and man incarnate. So it would be a logical line of reason that if he was a fully functional human man he would have to have an erection at some point, and this would have to be a reaction to some kind of sexual stimulation (impure thoughts to some). I think it’s this kind of paradox that is causing these Christians so much mindfail.
Unless he was having a boner about his wife Mary Magdalene, but that idea is rife with controversy all it’s own.
But c’mon, Jesus did have to live through the teenage-boner-a-minute years before he could possibly be betrothed. Is it any wonder that the cannonical New Testament gospels skip over this period in his life?
Gives hidden meaning to the whole “power and the glory” thing.
