Richard’s Bay: Parents left horrified by students’ “demonic” artworks / AKA The demonic art thread

[TysonRoux]

Depicting Jesus in such ways and calling it art is a cop-out.

I dare these people to do the same with the Muslim faith. They won't, due to fear.

Isn't that because the christians leave it to jesus to met out the punishment, whereas the muslims take it upon themselves to met out the punishment on blasphemers etc?

Thread title - which one is "currently deleted"?

That is their problem walk away don't look at it. We wouldn't even know about this but some guy took offence. This is true I guess. By being offended and making a fuss, we actually draw attention to something and make it worse.

Jesus will judge. The unpardonable sin is there for times like these. Jesus knew what the world would diverge to. Making your choice is yours. I'd rather enjoy eternity with God. You can't choose both sides. You either follow God or you don't.

People need to stop their lies and contempt towards everything they disapprove or disagree with. Whatever someone believes belongs to that person, not to others. If you don't believe, it was your choice. At the end everyone needs to take responsibility for what they've done.

Tolerance, lots of patience and an unlimited supply of love will get you further in life than fighting against someone elses beliefs or lives.

We are not viruses. We create with what we have at our disposal and always progress to new beginnings.
People are trying and willing to change for the good of the whole world. Isn't that a massive act of love? I believe so.
The worlds history is one of the most beautiful stories ever told. Let's make the future better.

Hey, I know you! You're the guy that explains the joke!

That's just your opinion

Tolerance is not a Christian virtue. Love and wisdom are.

You're hilarious. That's hilarious.

Funny how as a human you believe yourself capable of unlimited love, patience and tolerance, yet you portray Jesus to be a petty grudge holder who's incapable of such boundless love and forgiveness. Surely the creator of all reality is the one being beyond all offence and harm?

That is your opinion of a creator.
As I said in the post. If you don't believe what I believe then that's your choice. No need to flame anyone for what they believe.

This is what I believe. We can retort all day and all night and weeks to come.

Believe what you want. Just make a choice.

I thought tbe thread was deleted, my bad.
Don't really want to debate, just wanted to give my opinion.

We really really really need another demon art thread.

The ten or so we have are not nearly enough to cover everybody's opinion.

I think each member should have their own thread.

Ask the MOD's to close this thread then.

With a post count of 21,064 one would have thought that you know what forums are about by now.

Stellenbosch University's Prof Jonathan Jansen says the pupil's artwork communicates a much bigger symbolic message. He says the pupil's artwork should be applauded and not suppressed.

Are you bipolar?

Your threads are all woe is me, my life is a depressing pile of steaming turds, or happy go lucky, life's a stoner's paradise.

Yes I am Bipolar.
Being stoned is about the only pleasure I have in life. It helps me relax.

I've been concerned that I might be Autistic though. Due to my lack of articulation, social awkwardness and general stuff ups.

Well, please only post during the manic phase. Ta.

If you're serious about the autism, get tested. The meds these days are great.

So, who is going to offer the school 50k for the pieces? And how fast do you think they would pocket the "donation", you know, for Jesus.

And as someone above said, 2-tone Tim (the Pastor spitting righteous fire) really put this kid on the map. He even did a full tour showing off every item.

Great Job on his part!

Oh, and based on recent discoveries, Jesus did infact park his sandles under the bed of lady Magdalene. He apparently hit a homer and absentee fathered a boy.

Some things never change...

Sits on paws.
Good bye and thanks for all the fish.

Snowflake Muslims with AK's , RPG/s And a-lot of explosive coming for you. It is called Respect. You don't infringe on other people's beliefs.

If you are certain in your beliefs what could anyone say to affect them? If not, perhaps a bit of reflection would be good for you? Beliefs that cant stand up to scrutiny aren't worth anything....

Depicting Jesus in such ways

Or... is it Ronald being depicted in such ways

 

[Lucas Buck]

Depicting Jesus in such ways and calling it art is a cop-out.

It may no be the kind of art that you like or are used to but it's still art. Look at the deeper message that the artist is trying to send.
You don't have to view the artwork if you don't want to. You're only offended because someone else informed you of it's existance.

I dare these people to do the same with the Muslim faith. They won't, due to fear.

What does Islam have to do with this thread? Christianity is not Islam. Do you wish for christians to use violence to protect their god because their feelings got hurt?
