He Is Risen

Pleasin’ is the reason for the season. Pleasin’ Jesus, that is. I hope you all went to church today. Otherwise, Jesus will be pissed.

Sometime in 1969 (according to the internets,) super-artist Boris Vallejo decided to take a break from painting ripped barbarians and giant breasted snake women to paint the most badass Jesus of all time. This isn’t your father’s depiction of a meek Lord, turning the other cheek. Oh no, this is a performance enhanced Saviour who takes no shorts. As a good friend of mine once said upon viewing the picture, “I ain’t fucking with organized religion no more.”

In fact, I’m going on record as saying that this may be the most accurate portrayal of Jesus ever. The only way it could be any more realistic is if Jesus was black. Of course, back in 1969, Whitey wasn’t ready to hear that.
