You have given me something to meditate on, though. Those of us who are non religious, as I am, must have a place to go in art...

Wow, you've given me a whole new perspective on forgiveness/penitence...

please understand, tho, that even if I post religious art, it is from an understanding of what the artist meant at the time of the work, in that world and that point in time. Therefore, we have to separate our feelings about the religion of the time and the artist's creative output...I do this all the time in my art essays (and before in my Challenges). I had to make my peace with this, as a non believer, a while back...
