CitizenGO battles DC Comics for ridiculing Jesus Christ

CitizenGO, the international human rights non-governmental organization has taken up yet another cause: the alleged ridiculing of Jesus Christ by the author, Mark Russell, and the publisher, DC Comics.

According to a letter it is sharing widely calling for a petition against DC comics: DC Comics is set to release an outrageous and blasphemous new series, Second Coming, featuring Jesus Christ as the sidekick for an ‘all powerful’ superhero.

Let DC Comics know that this comic is inappropriate. It should be immediately pulled from their release schedule.

The letter continues: According to Fox News, Second Coming comic reimagines why Jesus left earth the first time and is coming back again.’ Author Mark Russell recently shared a bit about the concept behind his comic. He explained that “God was so upset with Jesus’ performance the first time He came to Earth, since He was arrested so soon and crucified shortly after, that He has kept him locked-up since then.

Can you imagine the media and political uproar if DC Comics was altering and poking fun at the story of Muhammad ... or Buddha?

This blasphemous content should not be tolerated. Jesus Christ is the Son of God. His story should not be ridiculed for the sake of selling comic books.

When asked how long his series will continue, Russell explained, “We’re slated for six issues but the goal would be to turn it into an ongoing if the reaction is positive.

Let DC Comics know that the reaction is most assuredly not positive. If we can’t stop the initial release, hopefully we can ensure that there are no future releases.
