CBC.ca profiles a Christian magazine that sounds like it might be worth reading, the irreverently titled Geez.
Geez’s mandate is to have some fun with faith, to mix it up a little. One page in the premiere issue was set up as a boxing card, with televangelist Pat Robertson’s right-wing Jesus duking it out with Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez’s left-wing Jesus in a comic critique of people who drag God into party politics. The recurring Make Affluence History page offers a funny parallel to the Make Poverty History campaign, with a plea to help over-privileged children by unplugging them from their expensive electronics and sending them outside to climb trees.
I strongly doubt my local CLC will carry it!

I didn’t know that Hugo Chavez even believed in Jesus let alone have a personal relationship with Him. However, the post was rather humorous and rather funny.

Not surprisingly, ‘Geez’ is produced by a bunch of young Mennonites!!!

Oh Tim, that explains it. Thanks for the clarification. It makes sense now.

I’m just sitting here reveling in the visual of the Jesus vs Jesus match.
