is it sacrelige, or is it art?

Or is it just silly? Discovered thru geekchick's LJ: christ_slash (see also: bible_slash).

I'm not sure what to think - despite my own agnosticism and occasional urge to shock, I'm not sure I'd "go there" - religion can be a sensitive thing to a lot of people, and I'm respectful enough that I wouldn't want to ridicule someone's beliefs this way. Interestingly, I've scanned some of the posts and it seems some of the slashers profess belief, and some of them are simply motivated by their opinion that the actor playing Jesus in Mel Gibson's new movie is hot.

I suppose the idea of a young semi nude man being whipped and paraded through the streets might genuinely work for some people, and I don't completely exclude the humorous or erotic potential of Jesus/Judas getting it on, I'm just kinda surprised these communities are out there and moreover, that they aren't getting spammed or complaints (that I know of).

Just today in the supermarket checkout line I saw a National Enquirer or similar talking about "Bin Laden and Sadaam's love nest" with matching Photoshopped picture, so I suppose there ARE stranger fetishes out there!
