Description This was a final project for a class in which we studied the different two ways that Jesus or God had been portrayed in past literature. In the beginning (Old Testament) he was a vengeful, strict lord who had your life predetermined. Later, the perception of God changed to something that was more forgiving, and gave the people the power of free choice. In this piece I tried to recognize both of those representations, with the controlling lord on the left, controlling the puppets by the strings, and the forgiving lord on the right, with a puppet whose strings are missing. The twist in which I tried to put into the artwork, though, is that no matter which God you believe and put your trust into, you are still a slave to the religion and cannot be set free to truly live a life of your own.

Cool picture. Also
WARNING! Carry on reading! Or you will die, even if you only looked at the word warning!
Once there was a little girl called Clarissa, she was ten-years-old and she lived in a mental hospital, because she killed her mom and her dad. She got so bad she went to kill all the staff in the hospital so the More-government decided that best idea was to get rid of her so they set up a special room to kill her, as humane as possible but it went wrong the machine they were using went wrong. And she sat there in agony for hours until she died.
Now every week on the day of her death she returns to the person that reads this letter, on a monday night at 12:00a.m. She creeps into your room and kills you slowly, by cutting you and watching you bleed to death.
Now send this to ten other pictures on this one site, and she will haunt someone else who doesn't. This isn't fake. apparently, if u copy and paste this to ten comments in the next ten minutes u will have the best day of ur life tomorrow. u will either get kissed or asked out, if u break this chain u will see a little dead girl in your room tonight. in 53 mins someone will say i love you or im sorry
Apparently

I LOVE THIS ONE!!!! (Mainly 'cuz the message is cool and I'm ridiculously anti-religion.) The whole split comparison is GREAT and I love the clouds VS sun with strings VS no strings.

While I disagree with your views on religion, I think you did a very good job with this!
