Christian privilege is an insidious cancer prevalent in this country. This time the victim is a 14-year-old prankster with an irreverent sense of humor. The unidentified teen posted pictures of himself and a Jesus statue in which it appears the Lord is fellating the teen. Sure, the photo is tasteless. But poor taste is not a crime (and Christians should be thankful for that). Neither is desecration of a venerated object. Yet the boy has been charged in juvenile court with that crime. Desecration and venerated are clearly terms meant to protect religious sensibilities—and religious objects—from harm. But we already have laws in place that do just that— laws that prohibit vandalism, property destruction, and theft. Why do we need a separate law for religious property? FFRF, other like-minded groups, and the burgeoning ranks of godless Americans are working tirelessly to end this unjustified Christian privilege. Soon, Christians will no longer be able to call the police when somebody makes fun of their imaginary friend. - See more at: ffrf.org/news/blog/item/21351-christian-privilege-and-the-desecration-of-a-jesus-statue#sthash.e2diYqvm.dpuf
