  • This kind of "art" is not usually aimed at believers, as some might think.. but stems from the painful childhood of the artist. (parochial school?)
    That idealist "artist" should grow the fvck up. If we hadn't taken Guadalcanal, the Aussies would be speaking Japanese. Maybe we all would. Jesus very well could have been the copilot on many a mission.

    What would be more chichi would have been a jesus with a kick me sign.
    Man will always be at war with man, and jesus & his More..

    • The piece isn't anti-Jesus or anti-American, it's a jibe at the hypocritical Christians who whilst professing to be Christians, not only ignore the teachings of Jesus, but attempt to justify murder and rampage as something Jesus would do.

      The lord's right hand man, peter, drew the sword, and blood, in the saviour's presence... yet he was given the keys to heaven.

      Matthew 16:17:
      And Jesus answered and said unto him, "Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona; for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in Heaven. and I say also unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell More..

    • This isn't a debate I'm really interested in having, I don't think the art work is any good, and I don't believe a word of the Bible, but thanks for the reply.

  • This should be the new symbol for the GOP. Replace the elephant with War-Christ. Describes them perfectly. Impose Christian values on others with the sword.

    Not entirely un-Islamic actually.
