That's funny. That reminds me of my favorite Easter joke which I'll send you privately. Anyway, art is an expression. Since we supposedly have freedom of expression in this country, then artists of all types need to be free to express whatever. If the art offends anyone, then those who are offended need to ignore the work but let others have a chance to see it.

Blasphemy is in the eye the small minded beholder.
I believe that nothing is sacred, which is not the same as saying nothing is offensive or tasteless.
Stupidity and cliche's are the only things that offend me. Unfortunately, they are more than enough.

Don't consider much blasphemous in art. But as they say it is in the eye of the beholder. But I wouldn't take the very young to those things. I'm an adult and make my own judgment but only for myself.

Even I sometimes wonder if that kind of crap needs to be funded by taxpayers. But if cities are going to give funds to some artists, then they can't pick and choose which art is "worthy" or not based on religious sentiment.

I think artwork is an expression of the artist's thoughts and feelings. As long as you're willing to be accountable for your work, go for it.

'the life of brian' is probably the greatest comedy film ever made.
it was opposed by the most organised and ecumenical campaign of suppression ever mounted by jews and christians working together.
(no such film could be made now - the churches have become too powerful).
no church has any right to claim any kind of moral authority;nor has any mosque, synagogue or temple.

That's hilarious, though I am sure many will find it grossly offensive. I can hear the report-bots cranking up as we speak (prepare for another deleted account).

Happy New Year!

if you can't have a sense of humor about your beliefs, you shouldn't believe anything. if you can't accept that others are free to criticize your faith, you shouldn't believe anything.
have you seen the one where the guys are doing the ymca gestures next to a painting of the crucifixion?

Well, it's stupid for one thing... but on the same level that you're asking your question on, I believe it is disrespectful. I'm not going to get my panties in a wad over it, because people think they are funny when they're not, and it is just another silly, stupid person being just that way.

Its often times intended to incite. With this intention, it is, in my simple mind, blasphemous.
------------
The picture you have linked, for example, is attempting to demean those who hold the life, death and resurrection sacred.
