“In Heaven and Hell, Andres Serrano challenges
the benevolence of the Catholic Church while also
taking on the sexualization of violence against
women. The work was made in collaboration with
political artist Leon Golub, who appears in the
photograph wearing the red robes of a Cardinal,
subtly smiling as he looks away from the blood-
splattered nude who is bound and suspended next
to him.
Serrano said of the work, “I’m referring to the
relationship the Church has with women, whether they are aware of women as human beings or just take
them for granted and dismiss them.” – Sotheby’s Contemporary Art Auction Catalog – March 9th, 2011

For what it's worth:
- I don't believe in god, God or GOD or whatever the deity is named.
- I do think that the central philosophies at the heart of most religions are for good and should be studied and learnt from.
- There are things in this universe that science, as it exists at the moment, cannot explain.- I agree with all of these as well, 100%, and I think most people, including atheists and scientists, do as wellmonospaced

I think people who say religion is corrupt, false etc. the Same thing could be said for science, economics. You live in a corrupt system where, the practice of what makes you free economically, intellectually, physically, spiritually, is suppressed especially in practice. Try to practice real freedom and see how long before someone in authority puts a boot in you face.. to argue that scientism, religion, monetary police, political systems, etc, represents something pure, and not contrived for you to be put inline by someone who runs your reality is mute.
- point is you can be a slave in believing false scientific theory as much as religious person could be a slave in his/her belief systemyurimon
- once again, science is a method, not an institution. I don't know why you don't understand thismonospaced
- there's no leader, or dogma, it's just a process and everyone is working on figuring things outmonospaced
- sure, there might be a group using the method for corruption, but that doesn't mean the method is flawedmonospaced
- Religion, on the other hand, ONLY makes assumptions, and really only works toward falsitiesmonospaced
- "religion may be corrupt and false, but so is other stuff, so that makes it okay" -yurimonscarabin
- i didnt say it makes it ok. it means scientism has its limits and corruption. so becareful what you think is trueyurimon
- There are leaders and there is dogma in science.set
- Yeah, that dogma should be challenged. Those laws of physics and physical evidence are total bullshitmonospaced
- Only sith lords (idiots) deal in absolutes.set

was thinking while watching GOT that the rise of Christianity probably had a lot to do as a counterbalance to the rampant moral corruption of the ruling classes, it gave a little power to commoners, that they could live their lives a certain way and only answer to a higher authority.
Then the church became the ruling class and it all went to shit once more.
