Greek authorites shocked by stunningly original depiction of Jesus

by Feòrag

Greek police have charged an author, translator and publisher with criminal blasphemy over a comic which shockingly depicts Jesus as a hippy.

Commenting on the decision by the Greek authorities, [author Gerhard] Haderer said: Now we have really gone back to the Middle Ages. It didn't even get that far in Catholic Austria.

Haderer stressed: My book is not an attack on religion or on believers. It is meant for believers to take a more light-hearted look at their faith and through humour become closer to God.

He is considering taking the matter to the European Court of Human Rights. Greek police seize hippy Jesus book - Ananova, 28th February 2003.
