Organisers of a graffiti exhibition at Canterbury Cathedral that poses questions to God receive abuse from Christians

“DO you ever regret your creations?” and “Why all the suffering?” are just two questions posted on pillars at an art exhibition organised by the cathedral’s curator Jacquiline Antonier Creswell, above.

She and the “Hear Us” exhibit leader Alex Vellis now stand accused of mocking The Almighty, according to The Christian Post.

Cresswell is quoted as saying:

The amount of personal abuse Vellis and I have received on social media, from people who are ‘Christian’… that has been hurtful. In no way did we want to desecrate the building. I don’t think asking God a question is anything other than a beautiful reflection, and even a form of prayer.

Even the moronic US Vice President JD Vance joined the chorus of hateful naysayers. He tweeted last Friday:

It is weird to me that these people don’t see the irony of honoring ‘marginalized communities’ by making a beautiful historical building really ugly.

And Elon Musk, known for his Nazi salutes, called the graffiti “shameful.”

“In another X post he wrote:

Relentless anti-Western propaganda has made so many people in the West want to suicide their own culture. Unfortunately, propaganda works.

He also agreed with an X user who claimed the Church of England is “just [an] anti-white cult at this point.”

Creswell has previously alleged being abused by people over art.

During a 2022 interview about some of the art she helped to idisplay at Salisbury Cathedral, she alleged she:

Was verbally abused and, in some cases, physically abused by people who didn’t understand the art.

The question “Are you there?” reminded my that, in my recently released book, Well, Goodness, Godless Me, I wrote of a talk about atheism I gave to a class at a secondary school in Tottenham, London. This invited a question from another student, “Are you really telling us there is no God?”

“Hell, no,” I replied. “If I were to make such a claim I would be as foolish and arrogant as those who insist that a God does exist. The fact is that I don’t know, neither do I care. What I do know is that if a Celestial Being used mighty powerful juju to create the earth, and the billions of over-fertile imbeciles who over-populate it, it must have taken one look at the mess it had fashioned, snorted in disgust and fucked off to embark on some new project, hanging a ‘Do Not Disturb Me With Your Silly Prayers’ sign on Heaven’s Gate.”

I should point out that this appears in a revised edition of the bio, so please don’t buy the book until I post a piece when the new version appears on Amazon and other sites.

    Before I, or anyone else, says there is or is not a God we need to define what we mean by God. So far, it seems to me, any definition of God makes no rational sense within the context of norml life.

      … any definition of god makes no rational sense within ANY context.

      This is a great opportunity for gawd to make herself known; this terrible desecration – haha, has been on TV news and I know that gawd watches TV because athletes always wait for the TV camera before using signs to request that she trip-up their rivals.
