cheyinka: The refrain from the Shinedown song 'Burning Bright' (animated) (burning bright)

I wish I could be surprised. Blasphemy makes people feel better about themselves. The original poster has to know that traditional Christianity doesn't approve of homosexual behavior, but he identifies himself with his behavior, so he needs to pull Adam down to his level. Otherwise he might have to change, himself.

It's not even only about Adam - it's about God. The complex symbolism of Michelangelo's masterpiece, which is one of the basic texts of our culture - and, by the way, Michelangelo was homosexual and knew all he wanted to know about it - is reduced to brute anal nonsense, and that, mind you, between Creator and creature. This is ghastly on so many levels - aesthetic, philosophical, emotional, affective, rational - that I cannot honestly bring myself to say more about it than I absolutely have to.
