Justin Bieber's Stewie Necklace Vs. His Jesus Tattoo

Justin Bieber's sense of style might not be as eclectic as Lady Gaga's, but the pint-sized pop star is proving to have some pretty random fashion sense himself -- his new Jesus tattoo really kind of clashes with his $25,000 Stewie necklace.

The "Baby" singer recently commissioned a very expensive pendant in the form of the matricide-obsessed "Family Guy" baby encrusted with over 12 carats of diamonds and multi-colored rubies to form the character's clothing. It's not as gangsta as the ice that some of his fellow musicians flash around, but the Stewie necklace is definitely an attention-grabbing way to flaunt his wealth (maybe the swagger coach he pays God-only-knows what advised him to buy a little bling bling).

But what's really odd about Justin Bieber's "Family Guy" splurge is that he commissioned it around the same time news broke that he's sporting a new Jesus tattoo. The pop star's new ink spells "Yeshua" down his left side, which is Hebrew for "Jesus." He likely got the tattoo while visiting Israel in April.

So what's so odd about Justin Bieber getting a religious tattoo and a $25,000 Stewie necklace at the same time, and why shouldn't he be lauded for wearing his religion on his ribs? Well, Stewie's creator Seth MacFarlane is a very outspoken atheist, so it would be hard to imagine that Jesus (just a made-up character like Stewie in Seth's mind) would be happy with the Biebs spending his money on something so frivolous and blasphemous when he could be doing something more Christian with it like donating it to the poor. And as far as that goes, why spend money on something like a Jesus tattoo when it could go toward doing something more Jesus-like such as feeding a needy family for a few days?

When "good" Christians like Justin Bieber spend their money in such silly ways, it's not hard to see why Seth MacFarlane is an atheist -- it's just way too easy to make fun of them for wearing their religion like a badge of honor (literally in Justin's case) while not really practicing what they're so proud to pretend is important to them.
