It's not like I haven't written about this before, but the United States needs to STOP supporting art organizations who insist on insulting our national Christian identity.

The Smithsonian gallery is the latest example of the liberal war on Christianity. The commie-faggot who curates these exhibits should be fired and sent off to Iran where he can worship Allah with all of his Jesus hating buddies:

Smithsonian Christmas-Season Exhibit Features Ant-Covered Jesus, Naked Brothers Kissing, Genitalia, and Ellen DeGeneres Grabbing Her Breasts

WARNING: This story contains graphic photographs of items on display in an exhibit at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Portrait Gallery.

(CNSNews.com) -- The federally funded National Portrait Gallery, one of the museums of the Smithsonian Institution, is currently showing an exhibition that features images of an ant-covered Jesus, male genitals, naked brothers kissing, men in chains, Ellen DeGeneres grabbing her breasts, and a painting the Smithsonian itself describes in the show's catalog as "homoerotic."

I'm calling for all Christians to Boycott the Smithsonian institution, and to burn any copies of their worthless magazine that might be taking up valuable space in your basement. Everyone needs to write their senator or congressperson and demand that funding be withheld immediately until any anti-Christian elements are removed from this institution.

If they can kick the fags out of the military, why can't they kick them out of the Smithsonian?

[Pastor Isaac Peters]

The fag-enabling liberals in the "art" world insult Christianity every chance they get because it gets in the way of their self-appointed role as politically correct thought police and their supposed right not to be offended.

This is disgusting. A perfect candidate for the upcoming deficit reduction efforts!

What, they're still letting that Porno Palace corrupt our Childrens' Morals?

Sickening!

We've been trying to do in the Smithsonian for years now. The Smithsonian pushes evolution and the the Moon landing. That's right - America's official museum pushes the radical religions of Darwinism and Heliocentricsm. Small wonder they have gay sex pictures.

[Ezekiel Bathfire]

I remember the days when art was art. It was there to show the pleasant things in life without gilding the lily; a painting would give one a glow of pleasure and make you marvel at the skill of the craftsman in his representation of God’s Bounty.

Here is a copy of John Singleton Copley’s Watson and the Shark, just look at the story that has told! There’s someone who has fallen in and lost all his clothes, there’s a shark and there’s a Jig shouting “Lawdy! Lawdy! Massa Boss is buying the Farm!” and there is a man with a harpoon who’s going to stab the shark without realizing that the harpoon will be stuck and he’ll be dragged in too!

And look at the quality – it’ just like a photo!

Next we see True Christian™ Gentlemen enjoying a warm afternoon in Thomas Eakins “Swimming”, – Ah… such memories! And look again at the quality – amazing and so evocative... there is almost a romantic feeling comes over me.

Then came the devils of darkness, weirdoes, lunatics, atheists, and the entire cohort of godlessness. Their job in life seemed to be to throw paint at a canvas or depict the slimy underbelly of degenerate life. Would you pay to see this?

Or this?

And that is the test with art – would you pay to see it?

Indeed! Those "people" do have a way with words, don't they?

[Levi Jones]

The American people have no one but themselves to blame for this atrocity. You vote for communist, queer boy, coke headed, Muslim extremists and this is exactly what you get.

[BelieverInGod]

I thought the Smithsonian was supposed to be a place that kept American History, not garbage like this!

How can a group that carries the Star-Spangled Banner exhibit, and the famous Lansdowne Portrait also show garbage like this and call it a "Christmas exhibit"?

I agree that there was no Fine Art in the Smithsonian, only crafts and art with a lower case "a" that i could see from the news, but as a Christian I was not offended by the Jesus covered in ants. The ants are like the Romans who hurt Jesus and shows Jesus as a sufferer, surely you can see that.
I am against the homoerotic stuff in the museum and gay marriage but if they warned you about it then surely you can tolerate it by waiting until the next show. This was a gay show so you do not have to go, it is a shame they put it up around Christmas, but it is AIDS awareness time.
The one fellow Ezekiel Bathfire who pointed out some examples of Fine Art has a good point and I vow to bring real Fine Art back to the world. Please do not shut down the Smithsonian, instead help me take it over and I will use it to spread The Word. And we must always fund the Arts for our children and the development of the creative mind. Instead, end the Bush tax cuts and return to Clinton era tax cuts.
One more thing to the other fellow who seems to hate liberals (there is a lot of anger on this page and I do not like it)
Levi Jones: what are you talking about? I hope you aren't talking about Obama like that because he is none of those things
To Nobar King: you seem to be a bigot, I mean, you aren't acting very Christ-Like. And you imagine this liberal war on Christianity. I am a prime example of a liberal Christian. JESUS IS THE MOST QUOTED PROPHET IN THE QURAN, so who in Iran would hate Jesus? Nobody hates Jesus.
If it is wrong to be gay, and i believe it is just a phase some go through, then they need our help not our hate.
KEEP FINE ART ALIVE

I get worked up, sometimes. It happens.

Tell me Brother sir!! who are the individuals responsible for these attrocities? I'll be more than happy to put a little bit of a Jesus Grace on their filthy tuna stinking souls & a lilttle bit of a pipe bombs into their mail boxes!

Mr. Hope, please do not make terrorist threats on the Landover Baptist Church forum. The very act of making the threat is a felony.

We are not terrorists.

Thank you.

How about focusing on winning souls to Jesus and sharing Scripturally-supported Biblical Truth instead?

I'm terribly terribly sorry about that Reverend, sir. My blood often boils in utter vengeance whenever some one insults the Lord Christ Jesus.

It seems I was right for once on an issue like this. Turns out that several Godly Republicans in Congress are calling for extensive investigations into this issue. This is what I mean when I keep asking for smaller government. THIS is what Congressional subpoena power should be used for. Spending millions of dollars and thousands of hours making those namby-pamby Smithsonian types create massive reports only to fire them all anyway. Small government in action, I say!

Is small government doesn't mean finding the anti-Christian elements in America and stomping them out, I don't know what is! If a piece of the government is associated in ANY way with anything UN-Christian, eliminate that part of the government!

[Pastor Ezekiel]

Allen Hunt exposes another blasphemy in the guise of "art."

[lurice0]

I still have not read anything that shows even an ounce of UNDERSTANDING for the "artists" and what they were trying to say about the Jesus with ants on Him. The ants were like ppl who were stabbing Jesus and doing all those terrible things to Him in the Passion of Christ. Jesus with ants is not blasphemy to me. This was poorly done, but I recall worse, like the artist who put elephant feces all over a painting that he said was Mary but there was a deeper meaning to that art as well. But I can do better so i can say that i agree that the folks on this board that this is weak art, AIDS is terrible disease but Fine Art does not lower its standards for anyone. Now I may pity the artist but I am not angry.

Ants all over Jesus? That would imply to me that He is dead. I am outraged that this sort of filth gets federal funding!

Idiot! If no body in Iraq hates Jesus then they wouldn't be so hostile to the God chosen nation of the red, white and blue. wouldn't they?

Uhm... Those 'things" as you put it are from the HOLY BIBLE, NOT "The Passion of the Christ." THIS is what that papist, mel Gibson, has done to our people!!!!
