Conservative Hopes To Break Through With New ‘Death Row Jesus’ Film

From the creator of the unforgettable “Tatoo Jesus” comes a new cinematic masterpiece: “Death Row Jesus.”

This project is the latest brainchild of David Miller, founder of Little Pencil Ministries, who aired his first video “Tatoo Jesus” last fall alongside a billboard campaign in Lubbock, Texas, KCBD reported. Miller is currently in the midst of a legal battle with the school district in Lubbock over its refusal to allow his “Tattoo Jesus” billboards to be displayed during football games.

“Death Row Jesus” is scheduled to premiere nationwide on Wednesday, although what appears to be a full-length version is already available on YouTube (see below). The video shows Jesus being sentenced to the death penalty as other inmates are set free and illustrates the concept that, in the words of Miller, “Christ became the worst criminal in history when he took our mistakes on himself.”

Miller said his message is “non-traditional” and not what you’d expect a church to endorse but stated that his product is ultimately “everlasting” and “life-changing.”

“When people think about Jesus, they don’t think about him being on death row, but if you think about what he did when he was on the earth, that’s really the experience he had,” Miller said. “He was completely innocent, yet he was put to this cruel, painful death.”

  2. “Christ became the worst criminal in history when he took our mistakes on himself.”

    I remember this from my one and only year of bible school when I was 12:

    "For God so loved the world he gave his only begotten son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.’

    Isn’t that basically saying that God sent him here to die to save all us sinners? So in effect, it was his plan all along?

    David Miller is attempting to reinterpret the bible it seems.

  3. At least now I know where the Geico caveman went.

  4. Cool. Glad to see some anti-death penalty voices among the religious right, especially in Texas.

    These people are against the death penalty, correct? [crickets]

  5. Oh wow…you simply can’t make this shit up anymore. Someone is bound to beat you to it…

    Brought to you by Pencil-head ministries…This can’t be serious.
