That thing is as offensively ugly artistically as it is religiously.
Have the modern liberals ever produced a beautiful piece of art? It's always soul-less tacky crap like this over-grown windchime.

Aw, jeeze..........pass the Pepto! Will the sixties never, ever, mercifully come to an end, already!?!?!?!?! Like, wow man! Aren't you into ecumania?
Seriously though, wonder how many poor people that wasted piece of expensive art could have fed?

Good one, Dallas59! All: What are those two symbols on either side of the crossbar of the A(lpha)? The one looks like a hand with a stigma reaching up a lady's dress. The other looks like a dressmaker's dummy emitting nuclear radiation.
Do they actuallly represent religions? (I shudder to ask.)
Oh, AnAmericanMother-- is it permitted to pray for the intercession of Tomas de Torquemada?

I hate to think how much money was used for that hideous piece of art-in-name-only!
" Like, wow man! Aren't you into ecumania?"
ROFL!

I hate to think how much money was used for that hideous piece of art-in-name-only!Thank you for the correction as I did erroneously refer to that as an "expensive piece of art." You're right, it's art in name only.
I imagine it cost a pretty penny as my dear mother use to say.

My beloved mean old cat in Heaven used to kill things on her nightly hunting trips that looked better than that piece of metal!
