I bet the other kids were allowed to dress up as zombies, why wasn't he?

 

:lol:

 

I wonder if he had to come back from school after they made him take it off.

I lol'd.

Dressing as just Jesus is ok, but it'as when you make satirical Bible references and religious jokes that it can get offending. And of course, when you go to school as Jesus, there's naturally going to be some Bible satire reaction. I'm a Christian and while I couldn't give a rat's [wagon] what they say about my God, I know there are others who will be offended and it's not really fair for them. I think it's pretty reasonable to ban such costumes, it would otherwise just start controversy when next year a Muhammad or Buddha costume gets to stay.

 

 

 

At my school we had two Jesuses. Both were Juniors and had Bible jokes and Jesus jokes surrounding him. It was actually quite humorous because most of our school is Jewish and couldn't give a damn, but I know there are probably some kids who just mask their offense with humor because they don't want to ruin the party.

Do we even know how he looks?

No, his costume is based upon wild guessing.

 

 

 

If someone would dress up in that costume and say they were a Roman proletarian, it would be okay.

 

If someone would put on a bananahammock and a mudkip on their head and claiming to be Jesus, it might not be so well received.

 

Let's jump to the conclusion of saying that claiming to be Jesus is the wrong part here.

Theres a guy in my class whom people wanted to dress up as Jesus since he actualy looks like your stereo typical jesus already. A few years ago one guy didn't really dress up, he just made himself a little paper name tag with "God" written on it. For the second guy, before that happened we had been in a public speaking class where we did an exercise where you stand inforont of the class, they give you a topic (anything) and you have to talk about it (making stuff up is allowed and encouraged). Someone asked him to talk about God and he said "Well what can I say about myself...". He was koking of course, but all three incidents could have been offensive.

 

 

 

I guess no one dressed up as a devil since thats also a religious figure.

That's funny we can dress up as the devil, but not Jesus....

The thing you need to understand is that the debate is not in if Jesus existed, but if he really did these things. It's historically proven that he existed. That means he was a person. What he looked like as a person we only have artists impressions, hence the stereotypical Jesus. But I think it's a pretty safe bet that he wasn't a Mudkip.

That would be funny. They shouldn't have been sent home.

Wow, some people get seriously offended over nothing these days. I dressed up as a catholic priest and pretended to rape a child doll in the middle of class, the teacher laughed and told me to sit down. That principal needs a brisk back of the hand to the face.

That's just disgusting. Why would you do that? You complain that people get offended over nothing and then you act as if your actions were 'nothing'. If anyone should have been sent home on Halloween, it should have been you for doing that.

Ireland had a huge epidemic of Catholic priests and brothers raping kids and orphans about 30-40 years, I went to a catholic school, I knew it would get a few laughs. My actions were nothing, they weren't meant to cause offense, just to amuse my friends for a while. You'd have to know what many catholic clergy were doing 30-40 years ago in Ireland to find it funny.

Hmm, maybe he was dressing in a costume for the play "Jesus Christ Superstar" that he just HAPPENS to star in? Dang, this kid seems all about theatrics, really getting into character before going all out on stage. +1 for him =D> The principal should be sued for stifling creative growth, if anything. :twss:

No he shouldn't have been sent home, but since everyone is sue-happy/complaint-happy nowadays, the wisest thing to do would definitely be to send him home to avoid a large amount of unwanted complaints from parents.

One of my student teachers was going for "hippie," but he lost some of the parts to his costume, and he looked like jesus, so I told him to stand at the front of the class with his arms out while people sang... It was a choir of angels economics students, and it was beautiful. All we would have needed to make it complete was a spotlight. :twss:

Do we even know how he looks?

 

 

 

No, but I'll bet he didn't use any face paint or such because so many believe in our politically incorrect idea of a white Jesus. Which has actually come to annoy me

Guys,guys!Jesus was Jewish.

 

 

 

Everyones a little bit racist,its troooo.

 

 

 

Ah,Avenue Q has so many uses here.

If Jesus was black, it would be considered politically incorrect, if he was Yellow it would be considered politically incorrect, no matter what color he is it will be considered politically incorrect. When Christianity first became big it was a predominately white religion and then many white groups such as the British, Spanish and French traveled around the unknown world. It's quite obvious he is going to be viewed as white, they'd hardly preach of a black god would they? Not meant in a racist fashion.

America is [bleep]ed up. Get over it.

Not sure why people would get offended by this. It's not like making images of Jesus is forbidden by Christianity. If it was Mohammed or something, that would be a different matter.

In all fairness though, if he had changed the colour of his skin he would've gotten into even more trouble

QFT

 

 

 

Principal overreacting.

The princaple says that this was not do to any religiouse matter

 

What other reason would he have been sent home for then? There is nothing else, other than religion, Jesus is related to. I find it funny that stuff like this would happen. The kid should've dressed as a blasphemous version of jesus, now that would've been pretty good.

I find this hilarious.
