Get a room...

Look... I've got nothing against personal faith, and I do not want to be in the business of telling old women and starry-eyed simpletons that their thing about Jesus is a harmful futile exercise... but enough is enough:

As reported today:

"Children were sobbing in distress at the sight of a man covered in fake blood who appeared to be nailed to a cross in the middle of a Geelong shopping precinct on Saturday afternoon, local police say....A Geelong police spokesman said passersby were concerned about the reenactment in Malop Street, particularly by the man posing as Jesus covered in blood. The reenactment was shut down for breaching the peace, he said."

For my overseas readers, Geelong is a large town just west of Melbourne.

It gets better...

" "Kids were particularly upset and crying," the spokesman told AAP. "It was causing a bit of a ruckus ... the parents of these kids who had a six-year-old child that's screaming at someone who is covered in blood and bawling and is crying out loud, they (the police) decided that they would ask them to stop it and move them on." "

And PLEASE... this is not suppression of religious expression:

" "If they want to do that sort of thing they are quite welcome to do it in a place where it's not going to disturb anyone and where people are going there for that specific reason and know what they are getting themselves into." said the police."

Fair? I think so. Oh but... Heaven on Earth pastor Sarah Kenneally defended the whole exercise... i.e. live torture porn in a public place where no-one knows what they're about to walk into.

She said "it was a silent display".

Well how "silent" is a man covered in blood and apparently nailed to a cross in the middle of a shopping precinct???

ENOUGH! Just dig how cool the Easter Bunny is and get a life!
