Distasteful farfetched rubbish:

'Texas Man to Launch 'Death Row Jesus' Campaign; Says Christ Was History's 'Worst Criminal'
David Miller of the Little Pencil organization will launch "Death Row Jesus" campaign on Wednesday.
The man behind the controversial "Jesus Tattoo" movement will launch a new campaign "Death Row Jesus" on Wednesday to spread the message that God was the "worse criminal" while on earth.

David L. Miller of the Little Pencil organization is known for his thought-provoking marketing campaigns that promote the Gospel. Last year, he erected 59 billboards throughout Lubbock, Texas, depicting the image of Jesus Christ clad in tattoos.

when i read this first post i expected to be offended by what seems to be happening in texas. when i read the linked article i saw a couple of lines that could light up some bells in the minds of some people but nothing untrue. we might remember first that the symbolism in that article is no different than using a cross as a symbol in the early church. the cross wasnt used as a public symbol until at least the 4th century. it was a symbol of degradation. it was not simply a means of execution but rather the final step in a process of execution by torture, and reserved for slaves, traitors, and other deviants.
