I had to take a lot of flak for posting this image originally on Instagram. People got prissy and thought it was blasphemy. So I clinched with every one of them, and there was only one guy from Chile who had a personal problem with the image. Everyone else was upset because other people (Catholics) might be upset.

The Chile guy found it problematic that I placed a lot of nude women in front of Jesus. Where the F*** he got the idea that it was Jesus I don't know, but when I explained that it was (probably) the Virgin Mary, he thought it was a great image 😁

I'm so tired of pluralistic ignorance. I'm all for going into a discussion with someone who has a personal problem with something, but when people take offense because they think other people might take offense and want to be seen protecting the week, it annoys me. In this case, for example, If anyone would be offended it would be Catholics but bear in mind that that religion was the driving force behind the Crusades - not precisely weak, in my opinion. 

I'll jump off my milk crate now 😉

Personally think the Virgin Mary would be pleased with the image. Something new to see around. At the end Virgin Mary is a Motherly figure, and what more pleasant to have beautiful daughters.

Who in God's earth would think that the Virgin Mother would be offended by being surrounded by the natural beauty of women. What offends people is that it goes against their perverted notions of divinity and the forces of nature, sometimes known as God. Nothing is more natural and divine than the human body, at least from the perspective of humanity.
