"Christ as a dog sculpture aims to provoke".

Indeed, and it does. I am appalled and disgusted. I wonder if he would have the "balls" to depict Mohammed, Buddha and Krishna in the same way.

I know. I'm sorry. I don't think you're an idiot or any of that other stuff. I think you have a great heart and lots of compassion.

It reminded me of how we (Christian's mostly) the world over scoffed and laughed at those crazy Muslims when they went berserk over cartoon depictions of their own Messiah.

@AcesLucky. On this issue, you and I will never see eye-to-eye. Sigh! But I thank you for your restraint (you could have mopped the floor with me) and for your kind words. I value kindness in human beings above all things, and you have been just that.
