German Christian Churches are outraged by an innovative businessman who is selling Jesus chocolates.
The “Sweet Lord” chocolate shop (not we’re not making this up) was set up by Frank Oynhausen as a way to restore some traditional religious values to Christmas in Germany.
Alas, although his heart, or maybe stomach was in the right place, the German Protestant Church criticized either didn’t like the idea, or the grade of chocolate, calling the chocolate Jesus’ tasteless. Catholics were reported to be “not amused” as well.
“I started thinking about how I could reintroduce traditional religious values into this commercial world,” said Oynhausen.
Reports suggest thousands have placed orders for the chocolate Jesus’.
