That's what I have felt the last week, sadness. A dear sweet friend of mine felt she had to leave dA because of a self righteous, self professed Christian who has taken upon themselves to condemn others.
I will never begrudge ANYONE their religious beliefs, it has given much comfort to people. However when your religion starts to condemn others and judge, you had best keep that crap to yourself. Do not take it upon yourself to point out the sins of others when you have yet paid for your own. Don't go around condemning people with your perversions of what Christ has said, and especially to me. I have dealt with religious bigots in my own life. Brought up in a hypocritical baptist family. I watched in horror as a child the condemnation so called Christians bestowed upon those they felt were unworthy. Let me put it this way, if your so very Christian you SHOULD KNOW this...it is not your place to judge, it is not your place to condemn. Keep your self righteous indignation to yourself and leave others alone.
Religious bigotry has NO place on an Art site like dA!
I am not bashing any one religion, it is not my way, and if this has offended your delicate sensibilities, I suggest you take a good long look into your heart before you go and condemn people.
DO NOT COMPLAIN ABOUT THE WATERMARK. I retain ALL rights to ALL my images. They may NOT be COPIED, REPRODUCED, ALTERED in any way. You DO NOT have the right to claim my work as your own and post my work on Photobucket, or any other image hosting site. You DO NOT have the right to grant anyone permission to use my work. You DO NOT have the right to sell my work. You do NOT have permission to save, download, print for personal use. You may NOT save and store these on your computer for ANY reason whatsoever. You may NOT use the pictures for layouts, blogs, websites, myspace, banners, designs, posters, cd, books etc. WITHOUT obtaining a license from me, or at least MY EXPRESS WRITTEN PERMISSION. These are NOT stock photo's. They do NOT belong to the public domain
Same here Things have to be questioned! I have learned in my later years that what I was taught, and how it was taught was completely wrong! Religion shouldn't hurt people, it's should help and nurture people.

I do not want to get into the subject of religious acts such as this. But the photograph is beautiful I like that you changed the green to the blue. Makes it clean and refreshing despite the concept.
I respect that I usually stay the hell away from topics such as that, in light of very recent events and being told I am not true christian made me angry enough to lay myself on the line in this way.
Glad you like this, I love being able to do things like this with a RAW file.....the possibilities are fun to explore

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community.
