The self-proclaimed faithful are pearl-clutching over a Black, queer woman playing Jesus in a new artistic production, branding it "demonic" and "blasphemous." This manufactured outrage, disguised as religious conviction, exposes **fragile worldviews and deep-seated misogyny and racism** within the Christian right. They confuse artistic reinterpretation with an attack on their faith, conveniently ignoring that art's purpose is to challenge preconceived notions. It's yet another predictable display of **hypocrisy and selective victimhood**, proving that bigotry finds a way to surface even when the supposed "threat" is a fictional character portrayed by a talented actress. Their fear of inclusivity only amplifies the message: art thrives by questioning tradition, not by conforming to narrow, prejudiced definitions.
