Jesus Costume Deemed Offensive

A school Halloween costume party involving 500 students saw one student sent home because his costume was "offensive". He wasn't dressed indecently, he wasn't dressed as a witch, demon or mass murderer. He was dressed as Jesus. Read the rest HERE.

  1. am i allowed to say i would have been offended too?

    the iconoclast in me would struggle that his costume isn't a form of blasphemy.

    but i get that most probably weren't offended for the same reasons.

  2. Sure you can - I understand where you're coming from - I cringe when I see license plates that say "YHWH" and such - I feel that is blasphemy as well.

    As you mention - the reason these folks were offended was from an 'anti-Christ' perspective and was the interesting point of the article.
