I for one could certainly appreciate the artistic statement made by a crucifix submerged in urine. That is interesting. Actually, this wasn't what most of us think of as "art." "Piss Christ" was not impressionistic, it was a photograph of the actual staged objects. Let's say a soldier in Iraq who had seen his buddies killed snapped a picture of the Koran being flushed down a toilet. Could you for one appreciate the photo as an artistic statement?

<<I don't know what "Piss Christ" meant to the artist who created it, but considering that most of the world is not Christian and that the Catholic Church in America, Canada and Ireland at least is dealing with a child sex abuse crisis that is so massive it is turning Catholics from their faith and causing some archdioceses to declare bankruptcy to pay all the legal judgments against them, I for one could certainly appreciate the artistic statement made by a crucifix submerged in urine.>> Not all Christians are Catholic. My grandmother was Catholic and wouldn't approve of many of the things happening with Catholics now, but she, like my Lutheran self, would take it as an affront to Christ Himself rather than any church. Then again instead of acting like a Muslim and killing the guy I'll let the "artist" explain it face to face with Christ Himself.
