Herein perhaps lies part of the problem IMO. BPS has taken a subject that is
for many a serious one, and while folks with a good sense of humor can brush it
off, some might find it offensive.
For instance, I personally find those holocaust sets to be offensive
trivializations rather than "art". Certainly BPS's work is frivolous, and IMO
most certainly appeals to non Christians rather than Christians.
For non Christians, it seems to me that it is some sort of vindication that the
Bible and its stories are bogus, or at least not serious.
To a Christian, there seems to be a underlying mocking tone (at least to this
one).
