Jesus in 2 Dimensions (or less)

Ever noticed how many 2 dimensional Jesus' there are out there? I seem to notice them frequently. Like this one from an atheists blog www.unfollowingjesus.com

The comment read: "No luxurious baths for you matey."

Makes you chuckle, doesn't it!

You might notice that the humor is derived from a concrete-literal reading of scripture. If you read scripture that way, you might be inspired to draw this animation- OR you might get mad at the person who did.

Either way, we're only looking at two dimensions!

Even if the material world is all there is, and everything is a math equation- spiritual experience still happens to humans. And even if it is just a brain function (and neurologists apparently can even tell us where in the brain it occurs) THAT'S REAL- and it's another dimension!

Now someone may not care to experience that, but what if spiritual experience can be helpful... even fun! It often leaves one with a sense of hope; a connectedness to something beyond oneself and to other people - a sense of compassion, empathy and even love.

So why NOT go ahead and put on the 3D glasses?

Just asking.
