Life imitates "Buddy Christ"

I'm not a religious person, and I'm not easily offended, but somehow, this just seems...wrong:

Father David Buckley unveiled the £35,000 seven-foot high bronze statue at the Our Lady Immaculate and St Philip Neri Catholic church in Uckfield.

Cornish's sculpture was funded by money left by Winifred Gregory, 87, a member of the congregation who passed away last year.

Christ is wearing jeans and a shirt billowing in the wind while his hair and beard are neatly and fashionably trimmed.

You can see a photo of the statue at the link. It kind of looks like he should be riding a skateboard.
