Compare and contrast

What has Jesus had to put up with over the last 2000 years?

A lot of heresies. The Last Temptation of Christ. The Life of Brian. The sincere admiration of Torquemada and the Revd Ian Paisley. Portrayal by blond, blue eyed, Swedish Max von Sydow. The music of Andrew Lloyd Webber. Godspell. Guest appearances on The Simpsons, Family Guy and South Park. That poem in Gay News. His name being used as an exclamation of anything from approval to disgust. He's in a song by Chris de Burgh, for crying out loud. In fact, two that I can think of, if you count an early appearance as a baby. And yet the church persists.

Attacks on the Prophet Mohammed: an impenetrable literary tome by Salman Rushdie that, face it, no one actually read. The Not the Nine O'Clock News "Ayatollah Song". Oh, and some cartoons which you can find with a not too hard web search.

Personally, I think he can take it.
