Fair is fair. In order to be fair, a law must be applied fairly to ALL parties. If crucifixions are allowed and considered praiseworthy, than ANY scene depicting torture, bondage, and death must also be allowed. If we civilized people eschew the ugliness of mortification and murder in art, that law must apply to all such images and no crucifixions can be displayed. Being a religious scene does NOT excuse any violations of the Terms of Service for this site. I have raised this point before, and I will do so again. There must be no favortism. No special interest group can put its interests ahead of the common interest. I don't care if you are Christian, Nazi, or a collector of salacious fairy art (I am referring to the fact that some of the best fairy creators were driven from this site by uninformed bigots who thought that child porn was involved). What you believe is beside the point and ought to be a private matter. This is a public site, available to anyone who signs up, and there are laws about what can be posted. THIS is the law, and it specifically mentions crucifixion: "No Torture [defined as: the infliction of intense pain (as from burning, crushing, wounding, crucifixion) to punish, coerce, or afford sadistic pleasure]" So, why does this ar any artist think they are above the law?
