"Artist" Cosimo Cavallaro, will release his newest sculpture, “My Sweet Lord,” an anatomically correct six-foot statue of the Savior made entirely of milk chocolate - in the lobby of a Manhattan hotel.
Isn’t it time we demand common decency? How about a little respect for others beliefs? I have no problem with free expression—he has the right to create any vile piece of trash he wants. But doesn’t this belong in a private gallery and NOT on public display?
And before you lefties start calling me a neo-con who is trying to stilfle ‘free speech’, (or that I have a problem with nudity in art), what if Cavallaro decide to make 6 foot chocolate anatomically correct naked Mohammed? Would there be consequences for such a disdainful display? I can guarantee you that his ‘artwork’ would get NO public attention and that he’d be called a bigot trying to incite the Muslim community—Hillary and Obama most likely leading the charge.
Don't Christians deserve the same respect?
