Godless Heathen's [Social] [Recruitment] Thread

[Snorri1234]

I've been away for awhile and this thread hasn't really grown that much. Anyways, McDeFe can be expecting a pm from a Jesus Freak in the coming days.

I am also beginning to doubt my beliefs and after speaking with a priest who told me the evils of Dungeons and Dragons and evolution I really don't know anymore.

You know... I don't think this thread is pulling in the numbers I would hope for.

Seems that live chat is doing more....

[FarangDemon]

Please people, let's not get caught up in the semantics between atheist and agnostic. It is quite silly.

We should all rejoice in the fact that we don't believe something that a bunch of crazy people in a desert invented. Not to mention those good old fashioned medieval European values that have been tacked on along the way.

Count me in.

How do you know it's supposed to be Jesus? Thousands of people must have been crucified throughout history, it could be anyone of them.

I think it has something to do with the dramatic lighting. Is anyone else under the impression that Owen searches for specific keywords on a daily basis?

i think Owen just has to much time on his hands lol get a girlfriend man

[Visaoni]

These days, a picture of somebody getting a crucified is almost guaranteed to be of Jesus. What else could you be doing? Making a political statement about the Romans a few years too late?

Plus there is that whole lighting bit Neo pointed out.

Bottom line, if you having anything to do with a picture of somebody being crucified, people are going to take it as a religious symbol. Which, one could argue I suppose, makes it a religious symbol no matter it's original intention.

has nothing to do with the dramatic lighting. has to do with the mods allowing a user to use an avatar depicting black face, declaring it "art work" and not offensive or racist. so, i chose to use a piece of art work that was deemed not offensive by the supreme court of america, to give them the middle finger for declaring racist imagery "art work"... and i don't search specific keywords on a daily basis... oh, and it is the baby jesus, because it says so in the title of the photograph... description from wikipedia follows...-0

Piss Christ is a controversial photograph by American photographer Andres Serrano. It depicts a small plastic crucifix submerged in a glass of the artist's urine. The piece was a winner of the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art's "Awards in the Visual Arts" competition,[1] which is sponsored in part by the National Endowment for the Arts, a United States Government agency that offers support and funding for artistic projects.

The piece caused a scandal when it was exhibited in 1989, with detractors, including United States Senators Al D'Amato and Jesse Helms, outraged that Serrano received $15,000 from the taxpayer-funded National Endowment for the Arts for the work. Supporters argue the Piss Christ is an issue of artistic freedom and freedom of speech. The journal Arts & Opinion describes the controversy as "a clash between the interests of artists in freedom of expression on the one hand, and the hurt such works may cause to a section of the community on the other."[2]

I see. Fair enough in that case. I'll say that art should be allowed to have racist (or other bigoted) imagery, and that imagery designed only to inflame should be limited, but it's hard to say where to draw the line, and I usually prefer to err on the side of free speech. I imagine this probably has to do with consistency of moderation than with actual content, however, in which case I don't have much comment. Props on the Piss Christ, though. I actually never bothered to dig up what it looked like.
