Homosexuality and the Two Great Commandments
Azspot’s recent post sparked an interest in me on how religious people usually interpret the two great commandments. The second is almost always invariably filtered through the first, and the first always runs the gambit of being misunderstood and even abused. The glad proclamation of Christianity therefore of loving our neighbors as ourselves comes under threat by how we resemble loving God. For...
"Strive to make art, but change the world."
With that in mind, I present you with my newest work.
It is a human sculpture…
on which I’ve worked these past 18 weeks…
and of whom I am very proud.
The piece itself is untitled,
since I think, I hope
it will mean something different to each of you…
and, frankly, anyone who sees it.
I did the MTV thing here on the face.

Religious Delusion: Arguments of Origin and Fruits
“In the natural sciences and industrial arts it never occurs to anyone to try and refute opinions by showing up their author’s neurotic constitution. Opinions here are invariably tested by logic and by experiment, no matter what may be their author’s neurological type. It should be no otherwise with religious opinions.”
