America is under God’s Judgment for its wickedness. No one should be surprised that Satan is taking over the “churches.” It has been going on for a long time.

Purely as a piece of art, I have no problem with it. I’ll leave it to others to say if it’s “blasphemy” (It probably is, but like the word, “racist”, “blasphemy is too easily used). I will say it has no place in a Christian Church.

This ridiculous thing belongs in an avant-garde art gallery, not a real church.
