RE: “Piss Christ”

From an Internet source

When New York artist Andres Serrano plunged a plastic crucifix into a glass of his urine what he was unknowingly doing was illustrating what Tony Perkins, The Family Research Council, Ted Cruz, the Tea Party, the Koch brothers and the Republicans would actually do to the name of Jesus some 30 years later. Serrano photographed his urine-soaked Jesus in 1987 under the title Piss Christ. He said he was making a statement on the misuse of religion. Controversy followed the work and reached a peak on Palm Sunday, 2011, when it was attacked with hammers and destroyed after an “anti-blasphemy” campaign by French Roman Catholic fundamentalists in the southern city of Avignon. Thus, ironically, the destruction of the work proved the artists’ point: Stupid Christians defending Jesus are really the ones attacking him. - See more at: http://www.patheos.com/blogs/frankschaeffer/2013/10/tony-perkinscruzshutdownvalues-voter-summit-is-the-new-piss-christ/#sthash.navSJjLU.dpuf

"attacked with hammers" -- not the "artist", the picture. (Offended Christians are really attacking the artist. Prosecute them! Threatening people and destroying property are crimes!)

Now turn to offended Islamists..

"attacked with hammers" -- not the picture, the artist.

"Americans attacked by Islamists and they deserved it, the Americans provoked it. They should not provoke religious folks. Prosecute them!"

Today's America -- it don't make a lick of sense except that people fear the Islamists will attack them with hammers, guns, knives . . . .

Time to talk internment for the Islamists?

“the southern city of Avignon”

Ted Cruz, TEA Party members (card carrying of course), Koch Bros., and Tony Perkins all descended with pitchforks on southern France??? That’s news to me.

Meanwhile the libtard who wrote that was okay with taxdollars funding Leftist religious expression.
