-Removed-Sounds like you've never actually experienced having a creative art.
People counter this with some kind of all-encompassing "I know what I like, and that ain't it."
Calling someone else's feeling of what art means to them "pretentious" just because YOU don't feel it, and presumably never will, is quite arrogant, as well as ignorant.
Mozart, a true genius, was just as well-rooted in the fabric of the universe as Einstein, just in a different way. Same goes for Rembrandt, Da Vinci or Michelangelo. Or Shakespeare.
Edit: Take some Humanities courses. If they don't put you to sleep, you might learn something, something out of your well-worn rut.
@kingdavid403 saidI do wish individual Christians would stop acting like they have a corner on understanding, or even morality.
Thanks. My addictions were never like the art here. However, they were close enough and I understand the message and art. As I said before, I find it brash, self-centered, and self-seeking. The art is only made for a minority while snubbing noses at most other Christians. However, it is a decent piece of art for that minority.
You know, the ones who snub other Christians for not being "our type of Christian".
@secondson saidAmen and well said. 🙂
Simple illustrations of destructive forces. The look of anguish on Jesus' face tells of His ability to identify with those that put themselves through it, and how it hurts Him.

@suzianne saidOh, I know it all too well and agree with you. I fairly recently finished University after five years of that sht. Professors and all. I had two major written warnings and a third was expulsion. I graduated on the Presidents list with a 4.0 so they couldn't do crap. lol... God is sooooo Good! 🙂

I know sometimes I may come off as if I have a corner; however, I am going to share the knowledge that I have learned to help me and others grow. I have no corner on understanding or morality. Nor do any of the great theologians that I have studied. I think many of them were wacked. Iron sharpens iron and this forum is a great place for Christians and others to grow and share.
-Removed-You started this thread, and now you want to excoriate the replies.
Perhaps, with that critical spirit, you are unable to appreciate the art of ART4GOD for what it is, simple, direct and unapologetic in the expressions of the concepts they depict.
Fine. You don't have to like it. Unimportant to me.
