religious images

so the other day we all had to bring in some sort of religious images and share them with the class. i found what i thought was a humorous image of jesus and some animals associated with christianity. the image was not meant to be insulting to anyone's beliefs and i dont know if it was actually perceived to be insulting. it caught my attention when i saw it because of the ridiculous portrayal of jesus. his head is larger than life and his facial expression is basically nonexistent. it seems to take away from the human aspect of who jesus was. in this picture he is a character not an actual person. this reflects how some in our society have changed their views and commercialized parts of christianity. i dont think this is good. it detracts from what is important in the religion. i dont really understand that aspect of what the christians do. the vatican takes in so much money for the church but why does the church especially the vatican need that much money to operate. i could understand if there was something broken in the building or a heater needed to be fix, and that might require fund raising, but churches have become so over the top and lavish that it seems pointless. why does it need to be so luxurious. i dont know if there is something in the bible that says god wants his followers to create great churches worth millions of dollars. that seems unnecessary as long as you devote yourself to god completely.
