Do you find anything wrong with the Sistine Ceiling? Particularly the Creation of Man?

Artist rendering. Nothing more, nothing less.

I don't know what ceiling you're talking about and I'm actually sort of glad, because I wouldn't want a fricken ceiling to influence my religion. Heck I don't even want the bible to influence my religion even though I say I'm Christian. What influences me is each situation I come across each day and how I handle them one at a time.

Kind of - I see your point. Not sure though. Painted by a man with his own vision/thoughts and not clear to me. I am a Christian though and that ceiling doesn't do much for me.

I was a Christian-now a Jew. OK if I answer?
They should find something wrong with it. It depicts G-d, and this is wrong. One should never try to show what G-d looks like. G-d IS. And that is all one needs to know, to feel, to believe.

Nope. And the pinky thing looks like a large flowing cloak.

I don't particularly have issue with it, it's beautiful, like the statue of David.

That was a picture painted by man. It has no effect on my faith at all. I am a Chrsitian.

i think it is a nice painting and maybe the cloak (pinkish thing)depicts another realm ( one of immortals )

I don't see anything obvious. But Man did do this work.
