i think the question here is if putting a happy face over Jesus is in fact a mockery, or, rephrased, if making lite a traditional image with emojis a mockery.

the shirt is made by a company called "Shelfies" and on their website they described their company saying "Shelfies is an all-over-print clothing brand featuring outrageous photorealistic sweaters, tees, hoodies, onesies, socks, leggings and more designed to make you smile."

They also feature a number of designs featuring Trudeau himself in this "make you smile" philosophy such as these sweaters:

this doesn't redeem the emoji last supper but perhaps it reveals it with a different spirit behind. they also have other products that depict Jesus​

it's up to you if you think these images are offensive. For Sloth Jesus the description is "...And on the 234th day, God said, "Make that sentient pile of moss into the saviour of all humanity." And thus, Sloth Jesus was born, and the world was good again."

Did you post that there, specifically for me, to "bless" me, encourage me in the faith, to edify me, to glorify God? To be the "lifter of my head", to give me a cold drink of water so to speak, to refresh my soul, to join me in glorifying God?

Why specifically did you post it>

And are you due a Thank you from me because it DID bless me and glorified the God i believe in?

Would you be so kind as to elaborate, brother?

Thank you kindly.

It's a christmas sweater (??) depicting the last supper with superimposed emojis and a Happy Birthday message. There is a picture (below) of the PM of Canada wearing it and I can't tell if I should be more offended as a Christian or embarrassed as a Canadian?

The PM of Canada offends me.

Yes it does because it mocks our Lord. Nobody creates a shirt with that type of layout WITHOUT knowing what it symbolizes. There is no excuse.
Some people would consider the painting itself a graven image. "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image".

Religiously? No; I don't care. I don't think it's "offensive" to depict religious stories in new ways. It's like being offended by that comic book version of the Bible.

In terms of getting sick of seeing emojis plastered everywhere? Yeah.
