Communicating trauma through art is fine, as long as you don’t remind the Christian fundies that their beliefs and practices are a prime source of religious trauma for lots of people.

    The two core principles of Conservatism, of which Christian Fundamentalism is a part:

    • I get to do what I want.
    • You have to do what I say.

    In the Religious Conservative’s mind, free speech means they get to say whatever they want about whomever they want (I get to do what I want). At the same time, free speech limitations suddenly apply when you have anything critical to say about their religion (you have to do what I say).

      “Some people’s idea of free speech is that they are free to say what they like, but if anyone says anything back, that is an outrage.”

      Winston Churchill.

      I was being mildly sarcastic, but thank you for what you’ve said. You’ve given me a greater understanding.
