Atheism is a GS requirement

[ChadCoxRox]

I truly believe several are missing or deliberately avoiding the significant portion of this thread's basis in imaginative expression and less about literal content. It's simply too tempting to pick out the parts that are manipulation (regardless of intent) and let that drive the discourse, isn't it? When art is involved beauty is in the eye of the beholder and interpretation is often left wide open for the sake of observation of the outcome. When someone presents their craft with a known, clear pattern (even if incomprehensible according to a prescribed set of filters) and a common understanding has been established that the content is mostly about that expression, does it require that the work be wholly defensible or even sane? For me this is more an opportunity for us to practice our skills toward resilience, well being and nurturing each other toward something constructive rather than proving something based on our assertions or expectations and thereby demanding (in effect) a particular outcome. All that to say, "chillax."
