A Sydney council has removed a “playful” artwork of Jesus Christ overlaid with Looney Tunes characters after a torrent of online abuse.
Sydney artist Philjames’ work, Jesus Speaks to the Daughters of Jerusalem, was removed from the Blake Art Prize exhibition at the Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre after fierce criticism was directed at the artist and gallery on Friday, just two days before the eight-week exhibition ended.

Why is mocking someone's religion funny to you?

I agree, but if you're religious it's very disrespectful.

There is no reason why in a free society one cannot laugh at the beliefs of others, while fully respecting their right to hold them.
I think you'll find things are a little more complicated than that.

It's not against the law, yes. That's true.

It is after all the people who have the rights, not the ideas.

Ideas have no rights, whereas people do.
I hope that is easier for you.

The picture isn’t mocking anyone’s religion. The artist describes it as playful.

I'm going to playfully beat you to death with a hammer.

It's blasphemy.
The only poster who had his account banned 4 times without ever breaking any rules each of those times.

I dunno, it's like a cutesy take on a miserable scene

I'm a Christian. Raised as a deputy Catholic. It's blasphemy. Any depiction or recreation of anything pertaining to our Lord is strictly forbidden.
This is clear blasphemy.

You don't think the addition of the Looney Tunes faces livens things up a bit then?

Better start stripping the churches of those near homo-erotic images of a half naked Christ on the cross then…
