I've gotten flamed a lot of times but I don't care. >They definitely will experience the wrath of God!!! has anyone heard the latest? i was watching t.v. last night when i got home and there was some Christian dude and some guy defending the arts for congress (or something like that. i don't know the name of the show or who these people were... but they sure were upset) hey! i'm an artist! i think that the "censorship for obcene art" is wrong because to a true artist nudity can be very beautiful. however, this guy was defending the "art" that some people had done by sticking a crucifix of Jesus in a toilet of urine and filming it, and another one where someone had taken a picture of Jesus and made it look like he was "shooting up". now, i think that might be crossing the lines of (obcene)"art" just a wee tiny bit. any comments? (or should i say flames?) keep in mind that i am an artist, but i am also a Christian. (i guess the reason i included the above is because it sparked this thought : jokes are just the tip of the iceberg) also, that last line up there is kinda uncalled for. keep praying for them, and let God take care of it, okay? paghty (peace and good health to you :-) -- Jesus loves me, Yup yup yup - don't know why...
