A Cleveland church sparked backlash online after installing a bronze statue of Jesus sleeping on a park bench.
The display—located at St. Barnabas Bay Village Episcopal Church—also made enough of an impression on a spectator that he called the police to report what he mistook as a sleeping homeless person.

People need to mind their own Fucking business. Why are we calling the cops on someone sleeping on a bench in 2020?
Really the fucking police? Some people never learn.

Well I guess that church made the point it wanted to make pretty quickly

Heck they called the police on a people providing food to homeless people. Apparently that's not allowed in some places.
Don't feed the animals, I guess

Homeless Jesus got the Jesus Freaks and the Woke crowd get offended, at the same time!

Church's response:
We're glad to temporarily host this statue of Homeless Jesus to raise awareness of homelessness in Cleveland and remind us that all people are created in the image of God.
If anyone wants to help, please use this link to give. Select "Homeless Jesus" and every penny raised will be used to feed, clothe, and house those in need. Hopefully some good will come from all this. Thank you.

Why would anyone believe anything a church has to say??
The money will just go for more sex toys, video cameras and hookers with which to desecrate their altars.

Fuckin' figures. Jesus would be in jail today for one reason or another. I'm no longer religious, but the young rabbi apparently said some great stuff. I had relatives who really lived out Christianity.
"Christianity hasn't been tried and found wanting, it has been found difficult and never tried."

It’s in a rather conservative, very well-off suburb.
