I liek the image, it is technically very nice. I am sure those of the Christian faith are goign to draw much from it to support their faith - and that is what religeous art is for. But unless Renderosity is openly goign to admit its religeous/conservative bias then there will be a continuing problem with the decision to bend/re-shape the TOS in any way that the admins see fit. Look, it's your site - do what you want, but just be honest. Just re-state the TOS much more simply... "Images posted to this website will be evaluated on a case by case basis. Those we don't like or agree with will be removed, and those that we don't care about one way or the other or support our beliefs and vision will be allowed to stay". See how easy that is? I wouldn't even be upset by it because at least it would be honest. I just get tired of the pretenses and the confusion. It's an image that is >ONLY< getting a pass ont he rules because it supports a religon that is popular with the admins. Thats it. Admit it, let's move on. Remember, it's not being allowed because it is religeous - a lot of religeous iconography would not be allowed here - it is because it is the "right" religeon portrayed in the "right" way that it is being allowed. Renderostiy - the Christian artists community? Amen brothers, amen. "The TOS as defined below will be interpreted as we sit fit on a case by case basis.
