When Jesus appears on cardboard boxes
or in the bottom of somebody's frying pan

Why is he always crying? Couldn't we get at least one smile every now and then?

I want a smiling cardboard Jesus. I'd take him everywhere.

2. Because people are using it for a political agenda
"I saw a crying Jesus, and he was crying because Hitlery Klintoon is anti-family and Jesus feels bad the country he founded has strayed so far from him."

That kind of stuff, and usually not that exaggerated, but there's generally a bit of political motivation in making sure it's a crying Jesus.

And people will come flock to see a crying Jesus.

Apparently they won't come flock to see a laughing Jesus who's enjoying life and telling his disciples not to be so serious and just enjoy the day you have because tomorrow is a different time, you might be dead, you don't know, so be present with that which is before you already. And have some more wine.

Because you can't manipulate people with that kind of theology.
