You know, after reading through and participating in that Lady Gaga thread, I feel I have a much better understanding of the effects and purposes of inflammatory posts.
"Abramović has a way of bringing people into the frame so they become integral to the artistic expression. You currently think you are only looking at the art and reacting to it, but to understand Abramović's artform is to realise that you are part of the performance. Look at what she has done in the past. She's not art on display or theater on a stage. When it comes to Abramović, there is no art to see, only a performance that we participate in." @GEM
Do you remember "P-iss Christ" from way back in the 80s.
"Immersion (**** Christ) is a 1987 photograph by the American artist and photographer Andres Serrano. It depicts a small plastic crucifix submerged in a small glass tank of the artist's urine. The piece was a winner of the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art's "Awards in the Visual Arts" competition, which was sponsored in part by the National Endowment for the Arts, a United States Government agency that offers support and funding for artistic projects."

The artist claimed "I had no idea **** Christ would get the attention it did, since I meant neither blasphemy nor offense by it. I've been a Catholic all my life, so I am a follower of Christ."
Really, he didn't anticipate that this would cause a hoopla? Of course much of the Christian world erupted and went on an unsuccessful rampage to try to get the art work censored, or at least get it unfunded. Which of course was the whole point of it and made it so that everybody had heard of his "art" piece that under other circumstances might just have got him a few strange and probably frightened looks and maybe an interview with a shrink.
"You have forgotten about Mary.
Strange that, given that Christianity is based on a chimera half breed Jesus who was born of bestiality and the blending of two different species. I do not want to created a new definition for a well defined word." @Soul Seeker
So you come onto a Christian forum and described their story of the Immaculate conception of God into human form as, "bestiality", and Jesus as a "chimera half breed". For not wanting to create a "new definition" here, you have artfully made use of existing ones!
I suppose that just because this is an online forum doesn't mean one cannot urinate in public.
On the other hand, the subject of this thread, "Is Christianity the Worst Religion?" Is sort of like putting out a notice to all dark artists and inviting them to hang something in the gallery.... so there is that.
Lol, p-iss in the title of the art, subject of the Wikipedia site, and even the URL got censored here.
God does love irony!
Let me know if that makes anyone want to go look it up all the more.
