Jesus to Osama painting artist gets death threats from Christians, now in hiding

RetiredEgo · 09-01-2007, 03:27 AM

"...THE artist behind a controversial work depicting terrorism mastermind Osama bin Laden morphing into Jesus today asked people to look deeper into the work.

Queensland artist Priscilla Bracks denied she had deliberately set out to be offensive.

The Prime Minister Johns Howard has branded the work "gratuitously offensive" to Christians...."

Hey what happened to freedom of speech, the same one in the Muhammed cartoons.

In addition a sad comparism of their techniques may be made, both believers in altruistic self sacrifice for a greater prupose/larger world good.

And then the hypocrisy, freedom of art and the press thing they can't take when it comes right back at them

God is faceless in that he looks like each one of us. We all are created in her image. Thus logically, Osama must bare resemblance to Christ Jesus. The painting tell us to see God in everyone. And treat each other with respect.

No doubt.
All we have now is numerous death threats from Christians to the artist, and definitive solidarity calming statements by the free western Governments criticizing and condemning the artists work in their free societies.

This is one of the greatest artistic jobs we will ever see. It is either art or magic/divine.

1. See their features.
2. See the way the turban matches exactly the white glow.
3. See their facial expressions
4. Match their composure.
5. Compare their head slant
6. Their thick brows and hair content
7. Them both- suicidal/altruistic means of giving salvation.

Ofcourse I always hated these dumb pics of some guy peeps worship in idolatory, fully or subconsciously as Jesus in violation of Gods commandments on images, and now, I live to see the image get upon itself what it deserves. Halleluyah.

I have started thinking that Christians would be worse Terrorists if not that they easily get what/all they want, the leading world Governments being in their favour. The way they quickly sent death threats to this woman, and they sent to my late brother too, a renowned leading HIV specialist physician in Mississipi, promising to kill him if he didn't stop treating HIV patients, who they regarded as being punished by God.

I bet if they didnt clearly have all leading givernments support and they were disenfranchised as are muslims, they would be worse meaner terrorists. Whaddya fink, Tobakanye?

wow, thats deep. I was gonna lambast the artist, but u actually do make sense...esp. the part about seeing Christ in everyone bcos we're all made in his image no matter who we r.....as for the respect part...it wont be wise to respect a lethal human sha, his privacy or his choices.

Christ is NOT God. What are you saying?

But yes his point is that all men are in the same image as other men and Christ as well as and we all with God.

And u all are just seeking consolation with this

finding a way to feel happy that a terrorist looks like a false fake figure that never was Christs figure to begin with.

I don't even kno where to start in this shameful matter

, but hey whatever makes you happy
