Wow, he’s way off base. The first amendment does not protect religions from being offended.

Exactly right. He is using the Establishment Clause to claim that anything deemed religiously offensive not be on gov’t property. I suppose he has something of a point there, but he is misrepresenting the intent of the EC to make it.

It’s a shitty painting. No technique, skill or craftsmanship that I can detect.

I couldn’t agree more. BTW, did you see my comment to you last night about there being a ton of Bollywood movies up on Hulu now?
