Christ didn't come to Earth to give us the willies....

One of my *favorite* movies is Dogma. If you haven't seen it (what, do you live under a rock?), the IMDB describes it as:
The last known descendant of Christ is called upon to save the existence of humanity from being negated by two renegade angels trying to exploit a loophole [in Catholic dogma].
It's a look at Catholic dogma and religion and beliefs and ideas and more---like masturbation, fart, and dick jokes. You know, T&A---theology and ass....

In it, Cardinal Glick (played by George Carlin) tries to put a new face on the Catholic church by unveiling....















Buddy Christ. (The title of this blog post is straight from Cardinal Glick's monologue where he unveils Buddy Christ.)

So...here we are about 7 years later, and Buddy Christ has surfaced again---only this time in a much less humorous way.

I think coalition spokesman Maj. Willy Willhoite says it best:
If it wasn't so serious it would be funny.
