[Theo]

When Michelangelo was an active gay man, was he working for a stronger church?

Bach wrote commissioned music, sucking up to one of his main customers (one which could break him like a twig).

Aquinas was a typical example of what one could do in the twisty world of manufactured medeival Catholic theology, so he doesn't count.

DaVinci would count, but he wasn't particularly churchy, so that example is gone.

I could provide additional examples of creative Christians, but I don't have the heart to play your game. If you're willing, the Lord can change your hateful, sarcastic heart.

[Chancellor Palpatine]

I don't have the heart to play your game.

Reality does suck, doesn't it?

If you're willing, the Lord can change your hateful, sarcastic heart.

Nah - I kinda like me the way I am, sentience intact.
