The controversial Piss Christ artwork Sen. Alfonse DAmato once branded as a deplorable, despicable display of vulgarity, is coming to New York, and security is being heavily ramped- up at the gallery that will show the piece. Andres Serranos work a photograph of the crucifix submerged in the artists urine first ignited controversy in 1989 when DAmato complained to the US Senate that it was an outrage, an indignity and a piece of trash that had been funded by taxpayers. Serrano had won a $15,000 prize for his work, backed in part by the National Endowment for the Arts But the piece which will be on display as part of a retrospective of the New York artists work at Edward Tyler Nahem gallery beginning Thursday is still causing controversy over two decades later.

I sincerely hope the exhibit is attacked. Would love to hear the response from the left.
Cheers!
>> The world has always hated and mocked Christ, and were confident enough in the Lord so we can just ignore them
Agreed.
> I say we should be as peaceful as the muslims are
> especially to the pantywaist who created this...
The pantywaist who created this filth died of AIDS.
Maybe someone’s already said this upthread .. I’m not a religious guy, but I’ll still be glad to see this ‘headline’ off the Breaking bar.
“security is being heavily ramped up”
Waste of time. NO Christian is going to commit insane barbaric bloodthirsty savage acts of violence against innocent people over this.
Apologies to those who do not read the Bible but all this has been written. The superficial pastors of mega churches and the hatred from anyone from atheists to muzzards,well, one can see these are the days of apostasy, the days Jude spoke of( and others) the days of the church of Laodecia. One cannot turn a page before Revelation is right there. Right there staring at us.
The world doesn't want the Bible, they do not want God. They mask God's creation with evolution, force feed children with this madness, with Climate Change, with homosexuality and aberrant behavior all systematically destroying all God has told us, warned us about and said will come to pass.So like so many, I ask, How long O Lord, thy will be done."
FUBO. Lying scumbag anti-Christian pro-Islamist traitor.
Can the double standard be any more explicit?
And the ACLU supported that use of your tax dollars, the separation of church and state be damned.
I thought he was the result of a Kenyan kid who lost his Mister Potatohead and attached the accessories to an unflushed turd.
Waiting for impending Christian violence. When that occurs, I expect apologies from the White House regarding this attack on Christianity. Heck, the Muslims got apologies, and the initial attack on the embassy didn’t have to do with the movie even.
Now for reality, if that happened, the liberals would use that as an opportunity to further their dislike of Christianity. They’d paint all Christians with a broad brush as violent, and Janet Napolitano would pull out her terrorist watch list, brand the Christians as terrorists, and the Christians would be locked up with the keys thrown away.
Matthew 12:31
Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.
Isn’t Serrano dead from AIDS? So much for a papal fatwa.
Will Obama apologize for the offense of piss Christ?
Hate to defend that pile of crap, but technically he has condemned it.

Still alive and kicking at this writing. You may be confusing him with Mapplethorpe.
