No. It's disgusting and a slap in the face of Christians everywhere. I bet he wouldn't dream of doing a urine picture of the Buddha or Star of David or something of another religion. Ya wanna know why? Because that would get him slapped with racism, but it's OK to make fun and desecrate Christians! That's not art! That's filth that should be flushed down the toilet.

First let me state how offensive, I believe the work is to myself. I did not like the fact that Serrano received funds from a taxpayer financed institution, National Endowment of the Arts. This is not how I wish my taxes to be spent.
I don't think this is art,as much as a statement of anti-Christianity meant to hurt a huge segment of society, taxpayers at that.
I do believe in freedom of speech.That is what makes this country so great. But, I am hard-pressed to understand this as freedom of speech,or art. I would think he could have expressed his beliefs in another medium besides art. He should have paid for it himself, instead of thumbing his nose at the expense in part, of Christian taxpayers.
I find it not a creative work, and lacking talent, when has urine become a medium for artist. He had showed no responsibility or accountability,or respect to the artist with whom created the Crucifixion. Why should we respect his attempt{however poorly} at art?
Freedom of Speech has it's limits to what is acceptable in our society. { ex.. it is wrong to yell fire in a crowed theater, where there is no fire.} But that was a freedom he took to offend, and that is what makes America great.

It is a jar of urine that someone Serrano dropped an image of Christ into.
My kids once dropped a drawing of a horse into an unflushed toilet, and that wasn't art either.

I am not an art critic, but I suppose to some it is art. OK. I'm cool with that. But don't ask me for money for that kind of art cause I have a lot better things to buy and support.

If bio-waste being used while being vile and blasphemous is art, then why not ask a Muslim how creative those cartoons of Mohamed are?

I don't object on the grounds that it might be offensive but from an aesthetic point of view it doesn't appeal to me.
