    We'd have to ask Tim for clarification, but I feel pretty safe in saying his comment was directed at the ideas expressed in the art by the author.

      That changes nothing. One can hate a piece of art and the ideas expressed within it without actively hating the artist.
      Kids in general these days seem more socially retarded...

      None of them date. They hang out. They text. They sit in the same car or room and don't say a word...they text. Then, they go home and whack off to internet porn.

      I think that's the sad truth about why these kids are retards.

        You can hate the majority of ideas and values someone has and not hate the person.

        But it's pretty difficult.

          I'm sorry, but what kind of an asshole would hang a piece of art in his home that demonizes people like this?

            This is an example of religious art that I like.

            I like that too. I think He looks a bit forlorn and it brings to mind Matthew 23:37:

            O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!

              The ignorant kind. Not the evil kind.

                J-Dub art is scary. Everyone is angry and all the men have facial hair.

                btw, here is a recent example of the J-Dubs co-opting our phraseology in an effort to be cooler. They never used to say "Heavenly Father." They always say, "Jehovah God."

                  Thanks, DU, you always come through. I'm sorry for voting "No" on your poll.

                      Lol. You know, as I was typing that post out I thought: "Just watch that be the title, you probably should check. Nah, it probably isn't."

                        I was trying to find this painting somewhere because the artist's site seems to be down (obviously some evildoing going on there!) and I came across this masterpiece. Enjoy!

                          What does this mean? That's the UN building, right? Jesus is knocking it down? Jesus is asking for cultural attaches? Jesus is speaking to all the nations?

                              He's knocking on the door of the UN....but since there are no doorknobs, ultimately, the UN has to choose to let Him inside.

                              This was likely done during the Bhoutros Bhoutros-Ghali era, shortly after his infamous interview with Ali G.

                                It looks like a 1963 or 1964 ford station wagon in the foreground, so my guess is this was menat to realte to the need for UN intervention in various disasters or conflcits, Cypress, Africa, etc. The UN was even more ineffecitve then in the midst of the cold war. Just a guess.

                                Or maybe he was trying to say that Jesus wanted to give them a clue. Who knows.
