Bill Donohue is an angry, obsessed man who ignores the teachings of Jesus.
You know: love your enemy. Turn the other cheek. Forgive.
The "oral sex" (eating a piece of chocloate isn't oral sex), the
erection, the racial focus of the "white guy" - they all come
from his imagination. What goes on in that guy's head, anyway?
Jesus was born nude. Jesus was crucified nude. Anybody this outraged over
nudity in a piece of art has a lot of problems. Trouble is, he's taking
them out on everybody else.
