do you think the performance of Madonna-mock crucifixion an act of blasphemy?

Answer 1

This mock crucifixion appears carefully planned not to question or respond to convention, but only to shock it. In a popular sense, what she has done is expression of freedom in art. Perhaps it is the duty of art to push us to greater heights, to ask ourselves the meaning of the crucifixion and so forth. Asking questions is, after all, beneficial. But where is the artist's responsibility to point in the direction of truth?
After careful examination, this particular act is perhaps the most troubling of all the pop icon's efforts. One ought to recognize that at her age of 47, she has to offend conventional sensibilities, in order to draw anyone at all. Clearly she has offended the Christians, Jews and Muslims and received their official condemnation. One has only to read the rabid bitterness of those opposed to God and Christianity on Yahoo Answers to understand what an opportunity this is.
In the present case, she is following the crowd rather than leading it. Can one display such an act as a follower of the growing anti-God masses and call it art? I think she has no basis for any such thing. It is both desperate and heinous that she would make such a choice. Yet, she has selected this road and evidently intends to exploit it until the end.
I hope that her journey one day helps her to find the truth. All who know God should be praying for this very thing and for all she has turned away from the light.

Answer 2

No, not an out right act. She's merely trying to grab what attention she can, good or bad. It's a shame that someone would choose to use such negative attention to shock her way into furthering her career. I suppose that sums it up about her talent! But, as much as I dislike her and her behavior, I have to agree that it is still freedom of artistic expression.

As with Marilyn Manson wiping his butt with the American flag. Anything for publicity. Good or bad.

Answer 3

a finished act of blasphemy! That figures; she already grew to become her back on the Catholic faith while she went all Kabbalah (which, by applying the way, is in basic terms meant to be for Jewish adult adult males over 40 who've studied the Torah quite plenty).

Answer 4

Yes, but only because she was making a mockery of it. On Christmas in certain island nations, religious young men allow themselves to be nailed to crosses as a sign of their devotion. They promptly receive medical treatment after, and surprisingly few of them suffer long-term injuries.

Answer 5

definately, but I thought it was interesting that someone associated with the Vatican, said " the witch should be santified".
