I can’t help loving it that Ben Carson has a painting of himself with his buddy Jesus.
Not just with Jesus, either, but with Jesus dropping a matey hand on his shoulder, and with the other hand telling the world, “Behold, here is my beloved Ben Carson, in whom I am well pleased.”
Although…are they really sure that is Jesus? It’s not Ben Carson’s trainer? I’m not sure why Jesus would be wearing a snowy-white bathrobe, or sporting a ’70s goatee.
But no, I’m just being blasphemous, I’m sure that’s the authentic Jesus, after a vigorous session on the elliptical.

I’ve seen it described as “Klingon Jesus.”
In the 70s it was called a “Van Dyke”, not a goatee. Trust me kids, I was there.
@^
Incidentally, it always puzzled me. Because Dick Van Dyke didn’t even have a beard. ;-)
It looks to me like the beard on Jesus is nearly identical to the beard on Ben Carson. Maybe it’s meant to suggest something…is Ben Carson claiming to be the second coming?

The Blackest thing this blogger’s ever seen
Did you see the photo of the engraved biblical quote on his wall where “proverbs” is spelled wrong? If there’s one thing you an expect from Carson, it’s that whatever he’s done, and whatever he says, is definitely wrong.
Hahaha yes I saw that. “poverbs” carved into stone.
Carson is probably based on a photo. No photos of Jesus (none I’m aware of since the Shroud of Turin is a medieval forgery) so he is completely made up (see what I did there?). Not even drawn from a model. Perspective on Jesus is horribly messed up, as if he (but not Carson) were being seen through a wide angle lens. Ugh all around.
