Images depicting the crucifixion of Christ present an interesting situation.. I understand what the TOS say's.. BUT, Christianity presents a unique situation.. A scene depicting Christ on the Cross is a religious Icon. It is unique to the fact that to the best of my knowledge is it the only major religion where such and image is part of the faith. I do not disagree with equal interpretation of the TOS. Yet, because of this, if we remove such images, it singles out a specific faith. I hope you understand my point. However, I have to say there is a big difference between an image with Christ on the cross and a naked Vicki on the cross.. Regarding the specific image that was first mentioned. The artist did put it in the "religious" genre.. They also did try to minimize the blood. All in all it's very tastefully done. IMHO I know this isn't an easy subject... Religious issues tend to get rather heated.. perhaps the TOS needs to be revisited. Why? simply because Christianity presents a unique situation. Buddha wasn't crucified, nor as Mohamed. I understand your point...really I do... fair is fair, but, we do need to respect all faiths. Hope you understand my point Pushinfaders Either that, or all Religious images need to be removed.
