Art teacher's report card--Good high-school level artwork but with amateurish execution. Shows effort but too dark. Originality: C-: Similar teenage images all over Deviant Art website. Comments: Student shows narrow viewpoint with adolescent hangup about Christian religion (perhaps others?). Students shows lack of inner spirit and light. Art work is soulless, depressing; may show deep-seated personality concerns. For a personal experiment, the teacher suggests student try same work but with the image of Islamic Mohammed to get additional public reaction, but thinks student may not have the artistic courage to do so--Christians are such an easy targets. Extra credit: Student should check latest world religion demographics re: Christian churches expanding in Asia and Africa. Worldwide influence not waning as student suggests.

you should learn European history.
After that, if you still think Christianism deserves respect and is full of "soul and spirituality", you're freaking insane.
My continent suffered more than thousand years of christian tyrannic and bloody dictatorship.
We won't let some stupid people from USA defend a such insane religion.

My aren't we a grumpy pagan this morning?

Is this the only answer you could find?
By the way, christianism, as well as judaism, are made of pagan myths with modified names. occidental christianism is nothing more than a Platonized lecture of the Bible. So, in the core, all Christians are people who stole pagan myths and traditions, and turned them to suit their religion of resignation.
There's nothing "pagan" in criticizing the dictatorship of Christianity, people who invented democracy and human rights were doing so as well, but were deists (so, believed in some superior beings).
So, except showing mind poverty, hypocrisy, or lack of knowledge about European history (Europe being the motherland of your country, as USA itself isn't legit, this is the land of natives, not some british colonists angry because of taxes), your reply hasn't other effect than to prove that it's totally illegit for an american to defend christianism, the most murderous religion of history.
After all the crimes your country comitted in the name of God and money(ethnocide of millions of natives, 5 millions of people killed in Vietnam, apartheid as some famous examples) , you shouldn't show any arrogance, and you have absolutly no right to criticize others beliefs.

I just love your less than subtle attempts at put downs. "high-school level artwork" "similar teenage images" "adolescent hangup" And as for my "deep-seated personality concerns", I think I will make due just fine with my 'soulless and depressing' life. As for everything else, I'm not intending on making this a long harsh debate over Christianity or any other world religion. This is art. Freedom of expression and nothing more. Let me see you criticize some random Christian for their artistic religious expression. Not all of them have loving happy souls bursting with refined dignity. And, yes, Christians are easy targets. Only because they make themselves as such by taking any criticism or alternate opinion as an offense.

I love this. I had this idea but was not ever able to put it together properly. Awesome. Well done!

Thank you. I actually came up with this idea almost 6 months ago, but it's taking me this long to fully realize it and put it together. It's easier to see them in your head then to make them on screen.

I hear you on that. I was doing a lot of research into religion and was learning a lot about Jesus at the time. I remember thinking about how the Romans used them to warn others. Then I thought about the telephone poles and I knew what I wanted to do.
But I am a manipulator so I could never find the right pieces to put together.
I think you got it perfect anyway.
The one other piece I had in mind was another similar one but with Ronald McDonald being crucified. I know it sounds odd but McDonalds is huge and religion is like a corporation. So who knows, in the future they might look back and get it all confused. Or McDonalds may have him die for our sins lol.. anyway it's another piece I want to do but am not sure if I can find all the pieces...

Honestly, I don't remember where I got the jesus part from. The sky was from Stocking-stuffer stock account (which I, admittedly forget to credit)

and the power poles were cut and paste from various photos.

Thank you. It was easy to visualize, hard to put together. I'm glad you like it.

This is an absolutely brilliant concept- well executed
I love it.
(I actually had a power outage last night due to a large storm)
Your choice of literary quote is also excellent.

I found a pun here..."well executed"...& I found it hilarious! Thank you for putting a smile on my face.
HK, Nice work here. I like this one best of the 4 you put up today.
You could kind of call it the "Electric Jesus"?? ....lol.

You know, despite a very corny sense of humour (my wife groans every time I try a bad pun) I did not even pick up on the "executed" line (thumps head)
I was also wondering about the "stock" you used, is it from your own photography?
