Is this offensive to Christians to have another man's face pasted onto what they believe to be the representation of Christ? unsure.gif

Some of the more devout probably. It's only a picture though.

Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image;

We don't need any images to symbolise our God, all we need is the cross on the bible and our pledge to the lord.

Not offensive, but a little disrespectful.

It's up to the Christians to argue this one but even a picture can harm unsure.gif

xD
Anyone who believes that original image could be a true representation of Christ is a fool.
Jesus was an Arab.

The original image is of the Sacred Heart, so it's fairly specific to Catholics. There's some ardent Protestants who would quite happily destroy it themselves. Even to fairly conservative Catholics, messing around with that image online would be more distasteful than blasphemous, because items/pictures don't normally gain any kind of sacred status unless a priest blesses them.
