Is this offensive?

Mentioning her religion was unnecessary, but it was more in a "derp, you call yourself Christian when you're a meanie, REEEE!" rather than "all Christians are bad".

Mentioning religion was necessary to highlight her not obeying Christian moral code by lying and working for a morally-objectionable person
I have no problem with that. It's quite good and I don't even like Jim Carrey
not anti-christian, but anti her

I agree with the person who highlighted that people would be in uproar if say trump had painted it and replaced the word christian with muslim.

probably, but that doesn't mean we should not be highlighting that many religious people of all religions do stuff that's very hypocritical, like Sanders

I meant people in power who preach one thing and use their religious beliefs in public but themselves don't follow what they preach
it's not really done much here, but the States

In what ways does she specifically go against Christian values? I mean, apart from working for #LiterallyHitler

I don't understand how the image itself is sexist?

There needs to be another reason other than that? I'd think that was reason enough.

That she's not following her religious moral code?

If she preaches from the bible but contradicts it within her very public career?

Why, cause she supports trump?

Lol.

It made me chuckle a little bit tbh.

But yeah messages in any entertainment medium isn't going to appeal to everyone, I don't really see the issue with this painting on any legal grounds which is where I'd say it would be offensive.

I love it, it's bang on, using religion to promote a fascistic ideal.... Even hitler didn't stoop that low.

Oh well at least no ones wanting him murdered for painting. I guess his office space is safe.

No. Worse. She works for Trump.

It's satire. And he used the term "so-called Christian" because obviously there is something about her that he feels conflicts her Christian beliefs. Also, they can't sob "she's a young girl".... she's a professional woman in the Whitehouse.

And furthermore, I'd like to see that second painting of Trump as the witch in the Wizard of Oz with his flying Putin monkeys.

Except for all the religious people he killed... that was stooping pretty low.

although I have no idea what a Christaphobe is either, technically speaking wouldn't it be christians who fear Christ? :think:

Pretty good artist.
Maybe people are just condemning the picture because they are “artophobes”.:joker:

Well yes sorry if you look at it that way yes, I always thought the hatred was geographical as in they weren't true Germans rather than religious.

I was nitpicking. I knew what you meant.
