The creators of Deadpool recently posted a new poster for "Once Upon a Deadpool" that resembles the painting "The Second Coming". In the original painting, Jesus Christ is at the center surrounded by angels. In the poster, Deadpool replaces Jesus Christ. Deadpool is positioned exactly as Jesus Christ was in the original and is wearing a white robe.

This poster is important because it calls to attention how the Mormon Chuch unethically dictates social policy in the State of Utah through the majority Mormon state legislature.

One recent example of this flagrant abuse of church and state occurred when a movie theater showed the film Deadpool while serving alcohol. The state sued due to a law banning the sale of alcohol during a film which simulates sex or which shows full frontal nudity. The state's case was deemed unconstitutional and the Utah tax payers had to pay $500,000 to reimburse the cinema for its legal defense.

Another recent (and more egregious) example of the abuse of separation of church and state occurred when the citizens of Utah passed a proposition by majority vote to legalize the sale of medical cannabis. The Mormon church got involved by urging voters to vote against the proposition. When it became apparent that the proposition was going to pass despite the Church's opposition, they put forward a compromise bill which watered down the original proposition and will bar many patients from gaining access to the medicine they need. After the original proposition was passed by voters, Governor Gary Herbert called a special session of the legislature which voted overwhelmingly to subvert the will of the people by putting the replacement bill into law.

The Deadpool poster calls attention to the unethical, flagrant abuse of separation of church and state within Utah. Keep the poster the way it is to call attention to this issue!
