Shouldn't you say that alethia started the debate, by posting religious-themed art in a community which is (for the most part) non-religious?
Don't shoot the messenger -- Crucify the bastard!
Ok. Sorry. That was uncalled for. but god, man, can't you people be religious in private? Most christians seem to expect gays to be gay in private, so why can't we (all non-evangelical-christians) expect the same of you?

***Most Christians...***
With all due respect, do you know all of them to be able to say this? Are you sure this is an accurate statement??? You tell ME what I think about this, ok? Surely you know my position...don't you?
***Can't you be religious in private?***
Jesus commands us to make it public (Matthew 28, Great Commission)...and to declare the Gospel openly.
Jesus Christ died PUBLICALLY for our sin. Naked. Hanging on a very real cross, with very real spikes through his wrists and feet. He had been scourged and beaten almost beyond recognition. And yet, this Son of God cried out from the cross and forgave those who crucified him...including us, whose sin put him there.
We are not ashamed of Him who gave his life for us. "I am not ashamed of the Gospel, for it is the power of God unto salvation for all who believe, to the Jew first, then to the gentile." (Romans 1:16).
In China, believers are put in prison for privately owning a PAGE of the bible. Is that private enough? In the Sudan, believers have been crucified for not reouncing faith in Christ. Is that restrictive enough?
This is an open submission forum. We post our work here for each other and for those who are interested. We ignore the pornographic paper dolls (both male and female) as well as the occult work, etc...and I'm not aware that any of us has gone on the attack against any of it. We just skip by it with no comment.Certainly, you can make the same choice.

uhh you sir are silly. First of all what makes you think no one is religious? Only some silly insecure 12year old would be so offended by a religious background, grow up.

Is 1600x1200 too much to ask ;)
Any way you can you crank it up to 1280x1024? -- Tim
I will give 1280 x 1024 a try.
Yes the point being that this type of stuff should probably not be posted here.
Let's not start a big theological debate, please.... btw, nice wallpaper
Hey Chris: Any such thing as an E-Noogie? ;) Tim
