Abandoned Churches make great studios because they are imbued with the “spirit”.

Abandoned Church’s Fried Chicken don’t make great studios because they tend to smell funky.

Canefan I impose nothing.
You seem short on patience and long on criticism.

Regarding religion and its wonderful influence and origin remember to insightful words of Miami Poet Lionel Goldbart:

Buddha was Hindu
Jesus was Jew
Mohammed was God’s messenger?
Who the Fuck are YOU?!

Vacated and abandoned churches, synagogues and Mosque make great studios. I love it when the collection plate fails to pay God’s rent / protection. And as far as the slogan: “in God We Trust”…that its own eulogy. And as for Abraham(IK) religions? They are so 1200ish.

“Secular Humanism”, give me a break. Do you see me imposing my religious beliefs on you or any other individuals. We are all aware of your consuming liberal views, but people are tired of hearing your long winded philosophical rhetoric. Peace and love is a great concept, but at the end of the day it will ALWAYS say in God we trust. Get over and continue to make other people’s art and your own.

One sure way to prevent any future sculptures from theft is to paint them with Britto stripes and dots.

The Buritto Patterning is a natural deterrent.

Secular Humanism is a way of thinking and living that aims to bring out the best in people so that all people can have the best in life. Secular humanists reject supernatural and authoritarian beliefs. They affirm that we must take responsibility for our own lives and the communities and world in which we live. Secular humanism emphasizes reason and scientific inquiry, individual freedom and responsibility, human values and compassion, and the need for tolerance and cooperation.

If you care for something i.e. your sculpture, don’t leave it outside at night. In a perfect Universe perhaps the person who removed it saw it as a Gift and is now enjoying it as it was meant to be. Nothing is permanent. I suggest you make another and place it outside again, if it is taken repeat this action until you find something else to do.

What else might we do without in the alternate universe you suggest; war in god’s name, jihadists, inquisitions, poverty, persecution, intolerance, supremacists, Terry Shiavo debacle?
My suggestion is not to revise history or obliterate the past but simply to draw attention to the fact that humans can be ‘perfectly good’ , indeed maybe better of, without organized religion’s heavy handed impositions on the heart and soul. The numbers show that natural law flows toward secular humanism. We would all be well served with a few less fundamentalist fruitcakes in the world. That is my truth, yesterday, today and tomorrow. Peace on earth and good luck to all children, women and you.

Swampstyle never misses a moment to blur the lines between religion and fanatics! I am looking forward to Obama bring the three tribes together next week, and of course ending the war and why the hell not, lets end world hunger at the same time , it should be as simple as snapping his fingers. Look at it this way, someone is a fanatic of your art, so they resulted to any measures!
