Jesus Cartoons Everywhere and Christians Are Not Rioting

I "Googled" and "Alta-Vista-ed" the phrase "Jesus Cartoon" this morning and found that there were quite a few to choose from. Most were from Christian sites, some from anti-Christian sites, many from European sites (mostly German with cartoon dialogues that defied translation by Babel Fish). There was even at least one political cartoon. I have posted eleven of them below. There were several that were so disgusting that I did not choose to post them.

When I was finished I checked for "Muhammed Cartoon" and found . . . nothing. Google and Alta Vista have apparently blocked access to the many Muhammed cartoon caractures that are everywhere on the internet these days. Even the newsworthy Danish cartoons that kicked off the current Islamist riots have been censured by these search engines.

I am sooooo glad that these internet gateways have no problems guiding me to all the pornography I (don't) want to find but are thoughtful enough (or scared of having their throats cut) to protect me from finding the images that have set off major international rioting.

A search for "Piss Christ", however, delivered over 45 "hits" (just of the image itself) on Google and 31 on Alta Vista. Go figure. Sure.

In any case, here are some of the drawings of Jesus that popped up. You decide if any of them are worth rioting, burning down an embassy, boycotting a nation or beheading somebody. (You can click on the pictures for their source)
