    Great way of trolling conservative Christians

    If you make Lucifer look absolutely sexy hot … what does it say about someone who admits that? … So they try to shut it down by asking the brother to do something about it, who then turns up the heat and make those same conservative Christians admit it even more.

    It’s forcing everyone to say and think … ‘yeah, he’s hot and I’m tempted’ … instead of just standing back and saying, ‘thanks, that’s a great work of art’

    lol

      Which is great isn’t it? Isn’t the devil/the evil/… supposed to be trying to tempt and seduce you? Which is exactly what that piece of art is doing?

        Oh most definitely. This is meta-commentary that perfectly encapsulates what the Bible warns the reader of regarding Lucifer/Satan.

        Religious folks have famously poor media literacy however.

          The Bible hardly mentions Satan and what most Christians seem to believe is derived from Paradise Lost and The Inferno. Kinda like their view of angels coming from Renaissance art.

    The devil is seductive, not ugly. Charlie words were comforting to the right people and some lost souls. Seems like the sculptors actually understood the assignment.

    I love the little claws on his wings like he’s for reals climbing around a cave ceiling and snuggling with other demons. Pandemonium sounds great.
