I note the reference to 'Human Rights', what of the rights of Christians who wish to practice their faith without having to endure humiliation and ridicule?<br /><br />Imagine the response if the 'artist' had decided to allow a Koran to be defaced?<br /><br /> Surely it would be far more constructive for such exhibitions to encourage mutual respect between all religious traditions rather than mindless ignorant iconoclasm!Timnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1006479003534298455.post-51314140832762055302009-07-23T12:52:54.689-04:002009-07-23T12:52:54.689-04:00I thought the ingestion part was an interesting ta...I thought the ingestion part was an interesting take on the Eucharist, consuming the word or Word of God. Otherwise, much of it seems simply juvenile. <br /><br />I saw one of the comments on the article saw it as a symbol of free speech--maybe so--but that does not make all free speech sensible. <br /><br />I write in my biblical texts all the time (it is how I best engage or interact with writing), but to make notes as I do any other text and not to make comments such as these. <br /><br />I know the shock value is that it is a sacred text to many, but I would not do this to my copy of the Iliad either.Jared Calawayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09380681998833566514noreply@blogger.com
