meyersComment: I think Meyers and I have buried the hatchet. But I'll still address a few of the comments below.
Sandstrider: You sound like a 60's hippie with the "judge like a child" stuff. Think about the implications of what you're saying: As long as it's done in a photographically-excellent way, the message doesn't matter. So, a photo that intentionally attacks or mocks a culture or group of people is just fine as long as it's well-executed or esthetically-pleasing?! Christians are certainly not "a known majority" in the country where I live, or any country anywhere near where I live. Do you ever get out of the United States?
PDF: If "courage" was a reason you gave this a 10, then you must have known that it was an attack. Whether you agree with the message is irrelevant to whether it's acceptable.
Poonaka: While "the Holy Bible" contains Jewish sacred scriptures in what Christians refer to as "the Old Testament," I do not believe that Jewish people commonly refer to their sacred scriptures as "the Holy Bible." A Jewish person can correct me if I'm wrong about that.
Everyone: Here's the test: Ask yourself if the same basic picture would be socially acceptable if it mocked Jews, Muslims, Native American religion, or the African American spiritual/cultural celebration of Kwaanza. If you would think twice before presenting such a picture, you understand what I'm getting at.
While I've called this "Hate Speech," I don't think Meyers is a hateful person. But the picture is intentionally insulting and inflammatory, culturally insensitive and provoking. It was an intentional jab; and I answered back.
