OK, so it is not the art itself that is causing the reaction - had it gone unmentioned in the forums, most probably would not have noticed it. However, I wonder if the initial post by timefighter could have set people off on the wrong foot when they went to look at the image. (BTW, timefighter, I respect the passion that went behind your statement, I am again only trying to make a point here.) As someone previously stated, the statement about the image being a representation of "The Truth" caused a bit of a tinge with them. And, I got that tinge instantly upon reading the message. But when I went to see the art, I appreciated the emotion and thought and passion that went behind it, so I left a comment. With the omission of that once sentence in the first post, I wonder how much different the reaction would have been. I would also be curious to hear what others think of some of the other Christian images that I posted above.
