As an American, I don't see what the the fuss is about...perhaps it's because I'm war like in nature. ;) Is it really as big of a deal as the Daily Mail (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=391684&in_page_id=1770)is saying?

It's the Daily Mail, for God's sake. No one takes any notice of what that huffy blue-rinse rag thinks about anything, ever.

I'm one (can't you tell by my avatar?) but it never crossed my mind that there was some "Christ-like" pose going on give me a break. It's got nothing to do with Christianity as a whole, it's got more to do with people getting offended for any little ol thing. Complete bullcrap.
