The Cancel Culture Mob Is Coming for Jesus
By: Leah Barkoukis
This is just sick. It shows the mental and moral depravity of the secular progressive cancel culture and the extent they intend to go to destroy everything about the exceptional Judeo-Christian heritage of our America and its divine providence founding.

The cancel culture mob is not content to stop at tearing down monuments, pressuring companies to change the marketing of their products , getting popular T.V. shows pulled, or having people fired for the sin of nonconformity to groupthink or in some cases, being related to the unpopular . No, now the Lord Jesus Christ is being targeted, too.
Progressive activist Shaun King called for images of Christ to be taken down because he argues they’re a form of “white supremacy.”
“Yes I think the statues of the white European they claim is Jesus should also come down. They are a form of white supremacy. Always have been,” King tweeted. “In the Bible, when the family of Jesus wanted to hide, and blend in, guess where they went? EGYPT! Not Demark. Tear them down.”
He continued: “All murals and stained glass windows of white Jesus, and his European mother, and their white friends should also come down.”
King claimed the depictions are a “gross form [of] white supremacy” that were “created as tools of oppression.”
“They should all come down,” he urged.
As Dana Loesh aptly noted in response to King, "statism is the only religion in which skin color matters."
Anyone who thinks that identity would ever come into play doesn’t know Jesus, doesn’t know Scripture, doesn’t know God (1 John 2:4). The Gospels stress unity within the kingdom, there is no emphasis at all placed upon appearance or even customs. The physical appearance of Jesus has never had any impact on the teachings of Jesus, faith in Jesus, or anything else. His appearance is insignificant because it doesn’t change our faith in, our worship of, our relationship with Him. Any insistence otherwise betrays Scripture. We are children of God, period. The only identity that matters is being a child of God .

I am not very religious, but as long as they are not on public property leave them alone...what's next the Sistine Chapel....going too far with this.
Going after religious symbols simply because they were produced by Anglo-Saxon cultures (and thus use their own likeness rather than that of a first century Judeo man) is gratuitous and irresponsible.
Seems they are taking a page from English history when the protestants destroyed monasteries and denuded churchs of stain glass etc. Not good.
They got an inch and look what is happening?
Talcum X ought to find a new tree to bark up.
I think you may ve mixing your metaphors?
(In any event I like my metaphors shaken not stirred!)
I am not religious, but; I appreciate the beauty and history of church art, stained glass and buildings, They should not be destroyed
I agree. For that reason.
But also for another reason -- whether or not a person is religious (or even an Atheist) we should respect the right of people to have their beliefs-- even if they are not the same as our own.
I appreciate the beauty in beautiful things. What I have never understood (don't even know that I can either) is why people do many things in violation of the 'spoken words' they say (with their lips) they wish to follow and obey. For example:
While I understand loosely that Catholics have many other books and writings than the Bible alone - It has left me wondering why the Popes, (the Vicar of God/Jesus on Earth) accept the observance of kissing their ring or any attempt at worship since they are only "a man." I do not know much about Catholocism, nevertheless.
(Ironically, a NT friend and I are preparing to have private discussions about Catholicism and this 'breaks' out. Go figure. ( Chuckles .))
The word 'tradition' goes a long way with Catholicism. (Most of my family and friends are Catholic.)
I have so many situations like that. Where a person is totally mystified as to why a person does something... (Of course after finding an explanation, it often makes sense to them)..
(People often don't understand things that others others do . . .although frequently I have observed that many people think they do understand something when they don't)
P.S: Are you sure the observance of kissing the Popes' ring is a form of worship? (I have to admit, though, that I don't know why they do it....religions are not one of my areas of expertise!
The word 'tradition' goes a long way with Catholicism.
Also with some Jews.
And the Chinese.
No, not sure as it stands today. But drawing off of the explanation of Acts 10:24
It appears to be an act of deference and reverence . The office of Pope descents from Peter. The Pope is called the Vicar of Christ (Christ's representative on Earth). Since Christ is worthy of worship as God, then it follows that acts of deference and reverence (kissing of the ring) to the Pope is some small part of worship.
However, I do not know what such an act as kissing the ring signifies to Catholics past and present. The act itself has always concerned me due to Acts 10:24 . . ."I am just a man." (Peter said.)
"The Cancel Culture Mob Is Coming For Jesus"
If they are coming for him, does that mean they know where he is?
But seriously, everyone paints their imaginary God/gods in familiar likenesses and European Christians were no different. Since no one can prove he existed, its rather hard to claim to know what he looked like so it can only be up to each artist creating personal renditions of their Gods.
