NEW YORK (The Blaze/AP) — No, this isn’t déjà vu. Last year, around this same time, the Blaze reported about the same controversial video clip featuring ants crawling on a crucifix that was supposed to be included in an exhibit at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C. Now, the video is back, once again raising eyebrows.

A museum in New York City that is launching a gay-themed art exhibit is going to include the film, which many have dubbed as anti-religious. The controversial exhibit opens next week at the Brooklyn Museum, an institution known for presenting edgy and bold artworks that in the past included a painting of the Virgin Mary that incorporated elephant dung.

There's nothing edgy or bold about ridiculing someone's religion.

That's why we have this special word for it ~ BIGOTRY.

This isn’t an exhibit I’d be interested in ... but we live in the USA and the first amendment is sacred. Let’s not act like Islamists who rage at the tiniest slight.

“Gay-themed”

Sodomite themed, if you please. Why cede the battle of terms to them without even a fight?

That isn’t art, dumb ass perverted humans too stupid to figure out what your reproductive organs are used for.

We live in the next Dark Ages. With all of our technology, mankind is dumb as dog sh!t with zero creativity.

You’re right. But the show is missing the important companion piece, ‘Crickets on the Koran.’

In Athens, Greece, circa 56AD, Paul noticed all kinds of bizarre and sacrilegious concepts, both idolotrous and blasphemous. He found worship of female deities (Athena, Diana) and superstitious representations of demon-like gods. However, he simply stated into the teeth of all of this errant "theology", God has overlooked all of this ignorance (by not destroying them immediately) and now is calling all men to repent and turn to His Son...if they can. While not state directly in Acts 17, this last phrase is evident in every contact Paul made. It took God to open Lydia's heart in order to respond, it took men being appointed to eternal life in order to believe.

We ought not scream at these men/women who think this stuff is art. Instead, we need to extend to them the offer to come out of the darkness, into the light of Christ. The day of everyone's assessment will arrive shortly, and if one does not possess the righteousness of Christ, that person will be found wanting...and lost. The cross with ants, the image of a crucified man in urine, the picture of a homosexual at a table with disciples are not actual pictures of Christ. He was not any of those things, but the darkened think that way. But, every believer was once captured by their sin, at war with God and in that same situation. Once released, we are to call them into the light and see if God has granted them escape, also.

You can fight it.

You can go and protest in front of the Brooklyn Museum and exercIse your First Amendment Rights. Or you could open a museum, exercise your First Amendment Rights and have an exhibit the counters the gay themed exhibit.

The maker of this obscenity is dead from “AIDS complications” (who’da thunk?)

...and, “for a time lived on the streets of New York City prostituting himself”
(he “lived with his mother” too, hmmm? No ‘father’ eye dee...common to homosexuals in the 90+ percentile...iow, true to form)

I don’t think I want to know if we paid for this.

I DO imagine shoving elephant dung down the throats of those who approved of its showing.

Then, I back off, and my blood pressure goes down with the thought of knowing whose vengeance it IS.

How ‘bout just plain old homosexual-themed?

One clever FReeper pointed out that homosexuals are the greatest homoPHOBES,

because they HAVE TO refer to themselves in the hivemind as “gay”.

That particular note was protesting the use of the euphemism “gay,” not the forced endorsement of same-sex attraction disorder.

Let’s see if they’re really willing to push the envelope and have them crawling on a Koran.

“Yeah, it’s not like any straight people ever had oral sex.”

Ah, the false moral equivalence. Makes me nostalgic for the days when I posted on sites where liberals were allowed to speak.
