The pyramid drawings weren't the first thing I noticed by any means.

Why wouldn't a Christian want to do that?

Re: People Looking To Take Offense Will Find It

I am not offended by the tall triangles.

The mountains are a bit abstract, but they don't look like pyramids. They look more like trees.

Still, if you want to be critical, the scene itself doesn't seem "church-ish" in the least bit. The lighting is too dark. The pulpit looks like a stage from a scene in some secular drama and what is that guitar player doing-- why aren't BOTH of his hands raised?



Religious people.

Jeremiah 10:2-4

2. Thus saith the Lord, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
3. For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.
4. They deck it with silver and with gold
; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.



I got a good idea. Since those are actually trees, you could decorate them in December with silver bells and golden balls, and lights and just worship the trees! After all there isn't a dumb pulpit in the way, who needs one of those antiquated things.

I knew a couple like that. They would more quickly point out the witchcraft in rock music to sinners before they would relate the gospel.
I attended a church like that...

ah, so one of those "his face is black on the left side; ours is black on the right" things. I think i have some Scripture for "the spirit of repentance" for that one. "Women may be saved in childbirth," lest either group get too haughty.
