Crucified Santa gains few fans for B.C. artist

[MrBishop]

You only wear the crucifix, or make the sign of the cross around easter?

The crucifix as a symbol for the christian faith isn't only relegated to Easter, eh.

 

[tonksy]

A lot of Christians do not wear a cross or crucifix as it is a graven image.

Never ever did wear a crucifix, nor make the sign of the cross. Our church doesn't *do* that, and of course now I just wouldn't anyway.

And I don't find his symbolism effective, not in the slightest, even entirely disregarding the time of year. I haven't the foggiest idea what crucifixion has to do with Santa and consumerism and global warming, but for a publicity drive and an oooooooh isn't the artist deeeeeeeeep vibe, that is, which is apparently working.

Ultimately, i guess, it comes down to the whistle issue ...

Ho hum ...

 

[A.B.Normal]

Shouldn't he have done it at Easter when crucifixion actually pertains to anything?

Naw 'cause then he not only would have Christians after him ,but also PETA.

Sorry...I thought that you were on about my post with the homeless guy on the cardboard boxes. Homelessness being a relevant topic all year round.

Homeless used to be called hobo. It's a chioce for such a massive majority that it's hard to seperate the real hard luck cases so they end up lost in an endless sea.

 

[BB]

the dead sea?

 

[Gonz]

frequently, yes.

 

[BB]

what is the relevant tourist board doing about it heh?

Tourists don't want to see that kind of thing!
