Female Christ in arts

[lilithu]

I think that you are too self-centered. If I´m fascinated by the figure of the crucifed Christ as woman, others are not going to prevent to me, my fascination because they think that it is sacred.

That's funny, because I'm not Christian and the figure of a crucified Christ is not a particularly important symbol for me. In fact, I personally find it rather disturbing. But I respect the fact that billions of other people hold this symbol to be sacred. Whereas your argument is that because you are personally "fascinated" by the distortion of this symbol you don't care whether it offends other people. And you're calling me self-centered. :sarcastic

Lilithu has all the right to correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the point is that, as an atheist, you don't believe in anything. And as such, this whole, "female christ," thing is nothing more than a twist on an established religious figure for nothing more than the sake of controversy.

Yup, pretty much. :yes:

You are mistaken. I understand the concept of atheist who does not believe in God (a=not, theos=God) but I translate the concept to not believe in mythology.

Let me make sure I understand what you mean here. You translate the word, "atheist" to mean someone who does not believe in mythology?

If you know something on the physiology of the nervous system, you are going to understand that most of our perception of the world can be concept like beliefs.

You'll need to rephrase that because I have no idea what you're trying to say.

I think that you have not understood the important thing:
You can´t demand that this one that is sacred for you, must be sacred for all. But, it does not mean that I not respect your beliefs.

I don't know why you keep acting like I'm imposing my beliefs on you and that I don't understand other's needs for an individual belief. I am NOT demanding that you worship any god. Rather, it just makes no sense as to why you put so much meaning into a deliberately twisted and falsified version of a religious figure.

For an atheist, a male Christ and a female Christ has the same value, because for an ateist this one is only art. But I know that they are many christians that are lesbians, feminists and also men that like the figure of Christ as woman. This is religion for them. Do you think that they do not have right to being Christian?

Christians are defined by biblical precepts. Again, since there is no religion that worships a female Christ it is not religious art and does not belong in a religious debate forum.
