Laughing Jesus
October 20, 2006
I was looking up “laughing” on google images so I could send my co-worker an image of someone laughing as hard as his email made me laugh. Naturally, I got completely distracted and found:
- These laughing babies (guarenteed to make you laugh or at least smile!)
- and these laughing buddhas.
I think it highly reccomends a religion when the icon is often pictured laughing. It made me think of the contrast with the Christian religion which often glorifies suffering. I pictured the sad and serious face of Jesus that I’ve always seen.
“You never see Jesus laughing,” I thought. Then, at the top of the next page, who should I find but Laughing Jesus!
It almost seems sacreligious….
Or maybe it’s a sign… 
Found at Christian Centered Mall.
