Too pretty? Easter poster depicting a handsome, fresh-faced Jesus prompts criticism in Spain (apnews.com)

A poster in the southern Spanish city of Seville that depicts a young, handsome Jesus wearing only a loincloth has unleashed a storm on social media, with some calling it an affront to the figure of Christ and others posting lewd remarks and memes poking fun at the image.

The poster by internationally recognized Seville artist Salustiano García Cruz shows a fresh-faced Jesus without a crown of thorns, no suffering face and minuscule wounds on the hands and ribcage. It was commissioned and approved by the General Council of Brotherhoods, which organizes the renowned and immensely popular Holy Week processions ahead of Easter in Seville.

As soon as it was unveiled last week criticism of it went viral on social media and a debate erupted over how a resurrected Christ should be depicted. Many called it a disgrace, inappropriate, too pretty, modernist and out of line with Seville’s Easter tradition.

Spain is predominantly Catholic and church traditions such as marriage, baptisms and religious parades are immensely popular both among believers and nonbelievers. A campaign on Change.org to have the poster of Jesus withdrawn was signed by some 14,000 people from around the country.

Fictional character is reimagined and fanboys are annoyed, water is wet.

Fictional?

Virtually all modern scholars of antiquity agree that Jesus existed historically.

Nearly all biblical scholars agree the resurrection was a true historical event and that the attributions of the authors of Gospels are correct.

Now the question is do you accept the logical fallacy of argument from authority for everything or just stuff that you agree with?

Biblical scholars aren't history scholars

Let's see if you can answer a question. Or better yet you could actually advance some evidence for your Messiah instead of depending on other people to do the mental heavy lifting for you.
