Don't you think it's a little barbaric and very cruel? I remember seeing a beautifully executed hand painted bust of Christ with thorns sticking into his scalp and blood pouring down his face. Even as a Catholic, I was horrified. I felt the intention of the artist was to tell Christ, "Bleed, you bastard!". And since this statue was being sold in a religious store, I understood that this bloody sentiment was universal among those who believe Christ died for our sins. Again, isn't this cruel and barbaric to worship a bloody dying man?
