Cheese Artist Carves Rushmore...

This morning I was wathing The Early Show and a guy carved Mount Rushmore out of a 200 pound block of cheddar cheese. Before the interview the artist said (sorry this if from memory), "I want to thank Jesus for giving me the opportunity to carve this block of cheese." Now this is unique way to celebrate Jesus.

After I wiped the tears from laughter, I wondered if Jesus was grateful for the props given to him on network TV. Is this pop-Christianity at its best or what? While the humor of this episode will have traction...the horror of this oversimplified, theological accolade will haunt me. How someone have the spiritual motivation to carve cheese? Someone please help me!
