mdehnersOur low-cal paper in their 'Faith' section had an article on Manga Bibles. It's a wonderful example of cluelessness in a number of directions....
The idea seems sound. Kids like Manga, so lets do Mangas with Biblical themes. Weeeellll, OBVIOUSLY these folks had never read one or even watched one of those dreadful cardgame toons. Picture Jesus in typical Manga style. Now picture all the women of the bible in typical Manga style;>. A bit of creepy Sexuality hummm? The Villians? Either Swishy or Trollish, which makes the ADL itch.....
'Course, the subject matter isn't given the REspect that American Christians Feel is due to their religion.Gee...have they SEEN a Manga and how Japanese Religious, particualrly Priests are Portrayed? They're lucky they don't get a Catholic Hentai Manga;>!
Cheers,
Pat
