Dunno if the Potter's House was trying to spread its faith, shock little kids or anger grownups with its bloody portrayal of the crucified Christ on its float during the annual downtown Christmas parade Friday. But the church created a buzz at Huckleberries Online over the weekend and Monday. I share the opinion of anonymous Pam I Am who commented: "As an evangelical Christian, I am all for spreading the message of Jesus' death on the cross, but that was neither the time nor the place for that type of graphic display." Pam I Am wasn't the only one who wondered if Christ portrayer Adam Stone suffered from hypothermia after being exposed to chilly weather for so long while wearing only a toga. Other comments included:

•"Looks like something out of a South Park episode" – Rainbow Sparkle Pony Angel.

•"Nonbelievers watch TV and see much worse on a daily basis" – Eric Seaman.

•"Maybe it's time for Christians everywhere to get some backbone and start standing up for their faith instead of acting ashamed and playing politics with their Lord and Savior" – Mike.

•"My first thought when I saw the float was: 'Isn't it a little late for Halloween?' " – BC.

•"Why not do some sort of lawn sprinkler that shoots fake blood on the crowd? That will really remind all these heathens to keep the JC in Xmas" – Fourth Paddler.

•"Without Christ, there would be no Christmas" – CODADave
