@arrrg Again, I get where you're coming from and agree to a point. But in my opinion, the problem with many of these folks is religion. I know many will disagree with this point, but frankly, I don't give a gods damn. Religion was conjured up by people who were grossly ignorant of the more fully aware nature of the universe we live today. While I will not deny the historic role it played in art, that pales in comparison to the excuses it presents for people to be horrible himan beings....

@lednaBM @arrrg 'While I will not deny the historic role it played in art, that pales in comparison to the excuses it presents for people to be horrible himan beings....' It's a normal human impulse to wonder about our place in the universe, and that kind of speculation is at the root of all human culture, not just art. We all create life-worlds based on unverifiable assumptions, even atheists. Religion is neither good nor evil, it's how people use it.
