Ok "superstition" was a bit harsh.  I should have said "belief".  But I
seriously do still stand by my opinion of how rediculous it is to completely
discount something for it's artistic merit,  just because the artist
seemingly believes something different than you.  I read it as:

Oh he likes my God!  This is great!

(then)

Wait, he doesn't like my God at all.  Thats terrible!

I think what he felt was betrayal and a sense of being lied to.  If he had
known going in that it was mockery, his reaction IMO would have been different.

I really don't care about someone's paticular beliefs when I view their MOC,
unless their MOC is a commentary *about* *my* beliefs (and especially *not*
about theirs)-- I think that is a different scenario.

Interestingly, if BPS should decide to recreate stories in the Koran, he could
well find himself *actually* condemned to death by some Muslim leaders!  Better
he should stick to the easy target of check-turning Christians....

(...) I think you mean *cheek* turning christians. Unless, of course, you're referring to the Irish Americans who apparently keep turning checks over to the IRA that someone keeps trying to use as an argument... (22 years ago, 28-Nov-02, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
