Politics aside, I always thought "Piss Christ" was kind of beautiful. Honestly, if you didn't know it was piss, wouldn't you think it's kind of a beautiful photograph? That aside, the message behind "Piss Christ" has been made clear by previous posters and I agree that it is right on. I don't think it's an insult to Jesus or his message, but rather what people have done with his message.
Obviously Christians, if they don't wish to see this kind of thing anymore, should simply riot and kill people since apparently acting like complete savages and in an entirely illogical manner is justification for denying other people freedom of speech.
I just do not understand this crap.
Honestly, only comes from people who have a beef with Muslims.
Certainly J-mac and you do.
How the hell is it an apology, for the government to say "Hey We don't endorse a Islam being mocked in this manner" because the United States has a great deal more to gain by saying such a thing than they have to gain from ignorant islamophobes who associate the few violent muslims with the rest of them.
That's then taken by far right wingers as "Apologizing to terrorists" when he's turning them into chicken Tika using drones every other week.
I don't even know what universe you people live in... honestly.
This isn't about apologies, this is about you being pissed off that there aren't more people sticking it to Islam because you have a problem with it, Obama administration in particular.
Well, that's wonderful...Hey, I got an idea....Let's send you and the others over to the ME so that you can waive your hand of reason over the angry demonstrations there...What do ya think? Hell, all you'd have to do is let them know that the video maker was an artist, and his interpretation of what he produced is benign and really doesn't insult their faith, but rather is a commentary on what Muslims themselves are doing to it....Yeah....That'll work....:roll:
Yeah, because that's the same thing. :roll:
Explain the difference smart guy? Snarky response, and roll eyes smiley's don't cut it.

The biggest lie told about this piece it's that is an attack on Jesus. If anything it's about the way in which modern Christians have corrupted the message of Christ.

There's a world of difference. First of all, the anti-Muslim film is very clearly anti-Muslim. That and it's also a film. Piss Christ, whether you like it or not, is art. It may not be your kind of art, but that doesn't change the fact that it is.
Oh please...Who defines what is art?
I'd say that the person who released it gets to define whether it should be considered as art or not.
Where is the outrage from the Obama Administration? Nowhere.
Only when radical Islam is offended comes the flood of apologies. That's Obama's way, but everybody knows that by now, so it's no surprise really.

People who know about it beyond laymen terms. Going to a museum does not qualify as "knowing about art".
Hahahahahaha! Great...I have some water colors from 1st grade that I think is art, so let's get a frame, and put it up at Sotheby's...:roll: Art is subjective...And all the pretentious, pompous asses in the world can within their little groups of echo snobbery can say all they want, doesn't make it anymore than opinion.
As the saying goes down here in the south brother....'Just because the Cat has kittens in the oven, don't make 'em biscuts....'
Not all art is GOOD art. So, sadly, you're 1st water colors might not make the grade for Sotheby's.
