Chocolate Jesus

Believers of religions are usually rather sensitive people and very protective of their beliefs. Many wars and violent acts had taken place with roots of religious disagreement. That is why religious harmony is of utmost importance. Wherever possible, we should live and let live. Singapore is the best example of religious harmony in the whole world, and Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew should be credited for his foresight in this area. 

But at times, religious beliefs can blind a person to facts, and that is the real danger. I read about how a man came up with the idea of making figurines of Jesus (the Son of God as believed by Christians and related religions) in chocolate. Of course, Christians are not happy about it.  This guy, Cosimo Cavallaro, is an artist who loves to work with food. I will not talk about him too much.

My point here is, no one has ever seen Jesus Christ, and photography and videography did not exist during his time. The Bible also forbid anyone to produce anything of likeness to Jesus (but this commandment has been violated by many Christians today as we see paintings, figurines, etc of  Jesus). So I was thinking, instead of finding fault with this guy, why are Christians not talking about violation of this commandment? Isn't  that a more important issue? In addition, since no one knows who Jesus Christ looked like, this chocolate cannot be Him, but simply Jesus. 

Hence, I do not see this as a religious issue.
