Ugly Jesus

Not Pretty or GQ

About Me

When I see the "spiritualized" artistic depictions of "Jesus," the "pretty boy" or the "stud," do not seem realistic or accurate. To me, it's like false advertising. When I think of Al Gore and his Global Warming Hoax, I think the same thing. I created Ugly Jesus to offer a consideration of other ways Jesus might have looked, not that it has anything to do with understanding Jesus.The power of the media, from hand painted works of art to video, have proven to be powerful forces to educate or mislead anyone who does not diligently seek the truth.Long live Ugly Jesus... or at least until the real Jesus comes back.

Thoughts on Ugly Jesus Art
