Description
I hate when people (or bodies of people IE governments etc) do things in Gods (or Allah or whatever you want to call him/her/it/them) name! Most of us have sort of forgotten whats going on over there in Iraq. That doesn't mean its not happening anymore. We've just started to get used to the thought. Whether we like it or not.Anyway, back to the topic:
I get frustrated when people (or governments) say they follow god and then do something like.... Invade a country?? This piece is dedicated to using God as an excuse for evil.
Just sick of people going out and doing things in Gods name....
And now i'm very sleepy!
*goes to sleep*
DD! WOW! THANKYOU SO MUCH!
Go check these peeps out!
THANKYOU!
I will try and reply to all your comments and such but it might take a little while...
P.S. It seems that some people are wondering how religion comes into play here. One of my main points in this argument is the official US motto. 'In God We Trust'. ( See here: [link] )
I do not believe that you can say such a thing, such a bold statement, without at least IMPLYING that everything you do is of god.
Once you begin to portray your allegiance (If you will) In such a way, you can no longer really separate the two anymore (State and religion).
But thats my belief anyway...

"Dude! Go down to the chapel! They're literally GIVING AWAY tanks!"
Awesome work though. Brilliant, provacative... Possibly good for starting a flame war...

As opposed to people doing evil in the name of Freedom Democracy and Liberty?
The two biggest wars in civilized history was between secular nations. WW1 and 2.

Im not saying that at all. This is just one example where something great and amazing is used to commit evil.

Unfortunately, people love blaming religion for the world's problems. When an evil man distorts religion to justify his own actions, religion somehow gets the blame just as much as the man himself.

Too right. Scarily easy to use religion as a scapegoat for wars and forced suffering. Sadly there's not a huge amount we can do about it most of the time.
Really expressive piece, love the hammer blow of the message coupled with the black and white, no nonsense simplicity.
I especially like the factory line effect. Adds a whole layer of depth to the meaning of the piece in that the problem will just keep going and going as if it were automated.
