If she did this with any other religious symbol OTHER than Christian, she would have been branded racist, intolerant, you name it. In fact, if she had posed with ANYTHING Muslim, those savages would be calling for her head on a plate. Remember the teddy bear named Mohammed? Frankly, the only double standard I see is the one which seems to say that you are safe so long as you mock Christians and white people. Everyone else is protected from scrutiny.

Give me a Break! I see nothing offensive about this at all. However, I'm sure that there will be some "Goodie two Shoes" out there that will and will want to bring this young lady down. That's the way it is when you're on top, the ones that are below are always trying to drag you down! Accentuate the Positive!

What's the big deal. Christ wasn't the only person to have ever been crucified. Tacky? Maybe.

I agree with Brickwall jacksons post in the sense that it is ironic how a teddy bear is named Mohammed and muslims go crazy and want to beat and toture somebody for innocent ignorance; and on the other hand she is mocking Christ here, or playing Christ. either way it is blasphemy and Christians aren't calling for her head or death. I am a Christian but I can tolerate this. I do not like it, but it is her choice. Jesus taught to love, so dont make her suffer for her ignorance.

Seriously. Crucifixtion has been around for thousands of years, big deal that Jesus made it famous. If Christians knew anything about their faith, they'd be focusing on the burden Christ bore for all of humanity rather than the two planks of wood he died on.
Not even worst wasting time explaining. Don't be stupid.

Seems the Christians who don't have a life are learning from the Muslims how to get worked up about anything.
All a smoke screen to distract from real issues. News media doing a great job!

If you recall, Catholic, Protestant, Muslim, and Jewish leaders alike (yes, I did say alilke) all were quick to say that the Queen of Pop's stage stunt where she put hersef on a cross was blasphemy. The head of Italy's Muslim League said, "...her idea is in the worst taste and she'd do better to go home." I am a Protestant Christian, but I am smart enough to know that good Muslims, Jews, and Christians alike know this is insulting and was in bad taste.

Angie- you dont be stupid. It is religious sensitivity. Or even sensitivity. Blacks were enslaved by the whites- if she was mocking that fact and was bound in chains picking cotton that would not be accepted. putting Jesus aside, why should she even mock the people that were killed other then Jesus. that is really sad when we mock death and how people were tortured.

The cross is a sacred symbol of Christian expression. Today, that does not mean much to people in a post-modern, liberal, democratic society. But, to those of us who are responsible and respectful to our own faith and the faith of others, this picture is very offensive. We esteem the cross as the highest affirmation of the love of God through suffering. It should not, in my opinion, be used as fodder to make headlines. No, it should not be censored, but careful, cautious attention should be paid to those who have a devout belief in Christ crucified. The same thoughtfulness that is given to symbols in other world religions should be extended to Christians. Gloria in Excelsis Deo.

These pictures are a thing called ART, if the person or persons who think they are anything other need to be cultured. I would almost guess these people are also the ones responsible for saying Christmas trees offend people. What idiots.

Definitely Photoshopped. Pixelation of the shadows in pool is obvious and a sign of poor work. Not only the top of the cross is missing in the pool shadow, but the shadow of the her body is way off. (note the shadow of the right arm)
Nothing worse than Untrained Photoshop artists. Just stick to PAINT, you hacks.
