The artist is mocking our Lord. If you are too stupid to see that, that’s your problem, noob.

I’m almost out the door so I’m replying to both at once. I hope that isn’t rude.

When you say the artist is mocking that is possible but the work is not limited there the artist’s original intent. We invest it with value and it is possible to invest - even this - with a positive light.

Sister Wendy Beckett tackles Piss Christ specifically because it challenged her as both an art critic and as a nun. I highly encourage you to read her in book form or take in her PBS special online. Be aware that she tackles art as a chronological narrative so it’s at the end of either one.

So I don’t like the artist’s mean spirited original intent but I can view it with discernment for anything worthwhile.

And I wcan nt be buying the property in Florida:p
