[Bryn]

Wow - that exhibition looks great. Wish I could see it in person. Congrats to the artist and I hope sanity prevails, and that they don't have to take it down.

My art is not satanic, it's about greed in organised religion, says matric pupil

A KwaZulu-Natal north coast matric pupil, whose art is at the centre of a social media outcry, on Wednesday said the sketches and sculptures were a far cry from the "satanic panic" some people claimed it to be.

Amen to that.

Amen to that.

Hallelujah - bright kid.

I wonder if the pastor is one of those raking in cash from poor, stupid congregants and is actually pissed because the art calls him out.

I doubt the pastor is capable of understanding the message in the work clearly enough for him to draw that conclusion in the first place to get pissed about. He seems like the typical knee jerk sort to me.

What a fool he has made of himself and those so willing to jump on the bandwagon with him.

Very bright indeed...
Proves something that I long suspected... these religious people... are sorely lacking in the IQ department..

Nope, I doubt he's of the intellectual capacity. Now the theory "of his son's macaroni picture." That I can believe.

Very bright, or simply not failed by our government education system.

"Proves" it how exactly?

 

[Ninja'd]

Has anybody called Kobus Jonker yet to have a look at this?

"Proves" it how exactly?

The reactions by these religious people is what proves it. Therein lies the proof that their minds are narrow and have four corners.

You'd be surprised at how loaded some of these pastors are and how lavish they and their wives live out of view of their congregants!I've seen it first hand and I was shocked.

They are literally millionaires.

Grantleigh Curro's controversial art exhibition on the relationship between money and religion has been taken down in the wake of an outcry that it was "demonical", the man who complained about it says.

The school did not respond to queries for confirmation of this, but Pastor Andrew Anderson said he was happy after attending a meeting at the school: "I am so glad."

"I think it's from all the pressure, and all the unity of the Christian people sticking together, for these things to come down."

On Tuesday, Anderson called for a protest and for prospective parents to refrain from sending their children to the Christianity-based school.

"My God is no clown," said a choked up Anderson as he filmed the work at the school near Richards Bay.

The art work is really crappy though.

indeed.
the artist's time would have been better spent painting accurate bible scenes - for example, a depiction of the sisters who got their father drunk, then took turns banging him a cave

Yep... is good old Rhema still on DSTV? That dude, Ray or whatever its-face was, was loaded to the same tune as Adrian Gore at one stage... so from my side, not one f**k given. They're all the same, these religions, all the same, some just a little more crazy than others.

That sounds like quite a Lot to take in...

Your mother gave birth to two children and remained a virgin. Does that mean you have double the virtue of Jesus Christ?

Somehow, associating virtue with you just seems, er, very ironic. Also, send some of that Profit'cy this way.
