New Zealand Church Billboard Provokes Uncomfortable Questions (Like, “Is God Good At Cunnilingus?” “Does He Like It Rough?” “Does He Ask For A Finger Up His Ass?” Etc.)

Progressive Christianity doesn’t overlook Jesus’ life and rush to his death. Rather it sees the radical hospitality he offered to the poor, the despised, women, children, and the sick, and says: ‘this is the essence of God’. His death was a consequence of the offensive nature of that hospitality and his resurrection a symbolic vindication. The Christmas billboard outside St Matthew-in-the-City lampoons literalism and invites people to think again about what a miracle is. Is the miracle a male God sending forth his divine sperm, or is the miracle that God is and always has been among the poor?

I don’t know the answer to this question, but I guess I do appreciate the sentiment. [Via]
