A deviation by ~iluvu2

Description:
I'm sick and tired of pop culture painting my God as a sugar-coated softie who overlooks sin. It seems like they've completely stripped Him of the honor and respect He deserves. And I'm just tired of it.

Pop Culture Jesus is painting a bad picture of a "Buffet-style Christianity", where you pick and choose what parts of Christianity you like and ignore that which you don't like. It sickens me. The Pop Culture Jesus is not the same Jesus I know -- the Jesus who drove merchants out of the Temple of God with a whip, flipping tables over in a frenzy because they turned God's house into a den of thieves. That Jesus is certainly not your "homeboy".

Jesus is the lover of souls, don't get me wrong. He is quick to forgive, and slow to anger, but it's dangerous to forget that Jesus is God, King of all Kings. He deserves to be regarded as such.

no its just america. America has lost ALL moral value and doesn't give a sh*t about what the people think. If they say its kool it is. and vise versa. All people are interested in nowadays, is money. nothing else really. In the end, all of the moral countries are going to rule and america "the greatest country on earth" will fall. Also, were fucking up the earth, with cars and other non-enviromental safe Products. Anyways, the point i'm trying to get out is...Don't blame society, (nvm) blame society and the government for fucking up a perfectly good world and country. Good job guys.

Very true. I have always been skeptical of the"homeboy" image but I agree with what your saying. It may not be sinful, but like drinking, its dangerous.

I am offended by this. I don't really care if you care. I just thought you should know. Jesus was meant to be an avatar to give man a person to unify behind and love. He was supposed to be a friend. Friend is synonomous with 'Homeboy'. Noone's suggesting that Jesus wore his prayer clothe tilted and pronounced 'er's as 'ah's. They're just showing that they have a personal relationship with an avatar of the Lord. I know you acknowledge this in the deviation description, but, I had to say that.

And What was our purpose? Family. We were to love the lord in our way on our terms. We weren't meant for servitude. If we were, then we would have wings.

Worthless pop culture fads always annoy me, so this is something I would have to agree with.

There's a balance here: Jesus is the one who willingly gave his life for us, making us forever indebted to him, yet at the same time, he is a Christian's best friend, one you can always run to no matter what.

So if it replaced "Homeboy" with "friend" I wouldn't have a problem, in fact I'd probably be wearing that shirt.

I have to agree, I'm offended by this when I see hats, pins and buttons, and people just yelling it at the halls at my school.

A true :+fav:.

Yeah they do get pretty annoying but I don';t think they are being sinful because of it...even though homeboy is alot more "chill" than friend....so maybe Jesus is my best friend and I'll like the saying...hehe because we all love Jesus!! ^^

You get comments, watches, and faves from anything you leave me!! So how about the extra pageviews eh? XDD
:icontiggstar:
this is exactly what i need to show my friends! totally agree on your view, the way they treat Jesus, God, with such disregard, for someone they don't know, its just really driving me up the wall. God is not to be treated with such disrespect, great job on this pic.
