Dear Christians, Are You Offended By This Painting? by Realest123(m): 10:04am On Nov 30, 2012 |
Painted by New York artist, Michael D'Antuono, the depiction dubbed 'The Truth' portrays President Obama wearing a crown of thorns, extending his arms and looking down as Jesus Christ does in crucifix imagery. The painting is on display in Boston. Are you offended by it?

cdamsel: was there anytime he told u 2 fight 4 him?don't b blinded by anger cos of wat some muslims do in d name of God,he is very capable 2 fight 4 himselfu c d reasn y muslims wil continue to dominate,'true belief in dia religion'. God is capable of fighting 4 imself,wat's d reasn u are a xtian? Muslims wil continue 2 work towards dia religion,bombing and killing christians yet God cn fight 4 imself. Luk at d religion forum in NL,what does it say? It says 'muslims only'. Wil God fight dat one 4 u too?, if his followers and representatives cnt fyt 4 im on earth,dia z no amount of fyts he puts on dat wil appease d world. Am so much freaked abt dis xtians belief of a tin. |

The day I have to fight for a God is the day I stop worshipping that god. If he is so powerful, why should I fight? He should handle his business na. I still search my Bible and can't find a place where God asked us to fight on his behalf ooooo. Rather the bible says, The lord shall fight for me and I shall keep my peace not the reverse 1 Like |

cantell:We should be careful not to lump up an entire religion with just one statement. Just cos some muslims are radical and crazy does not mean they all are. We should learn respect. Cheers |

The angle of the coat makes it clear its meant to be a hexagram. So, its not for christians per se. |

i think i should add, the picture is more than what it appears to be. its supposed to mimic a parody of a cross, but since its a hexagram by virtue of the coat positioning, its most likely a reference to sleeping cells and attacks on christians. when you have this kind of ________ symbolism masquerading as a tasteless depiction to ostensibly "offend" christians, its usually just a cover up for what its actually saying. red herring, so to speak. You're not supposed to know you're being attacked for your faith, or who is attacking you. |
