ahem, Does Jesus know you're avatar is flipping people off?

Does that make him cry? |
I'm thinkin' what Jesus would do in this situation would be to execute whatever the equivalent of flipping someone off is if you're a 1st century mediterranean Jewish peasant. I seem to recall something about him not being too keen on hypocrites who cloak themselves in piety. |
Don't know, maybe this is a bad idea, but I got to thinking, and I can see that image in my mind: Jesus (the robed, bearded character we all know and respect) - with his finger raised.
Religious bigots and hypocrites can't help themselves. It happens all the time, we know them by their fruits:
While I am certain WW would characterize me in the best creationist tardition as a damn atheist Darwinist liar, I can only state my most sincere response to his display of bad taste: It really pissed me off!
One of my "guru's" used this 'metaphor': When you are pointing a finger at someone, three fingers are pointing back towards yourself. Our friend Jesus is on record with a more poetic way of expressing the same eternal truth.
