Now I'm Not Trying To Witness Or Save Anyone

We have gone from admiring sand to proselytization

I'm from the East coast.... and if that had been sand art of David Lee Roth instead of Jesus I'd have posted it..... just because I was wowed by the talent....

but check this out... a guy in Ocean City does these everyday and replaces them when the tide washes them away.... very talented guy

Don't you think there's a particular artistic symbolism to it being washed away every night so the artist must return to his/her labors once again the following day.

i hadn't thought about the symbolism until you put it quite that way - but it's true. day after day after day. to me, it's kind of symbolic of the way religion can't overwhelm people who don't allow themselves to be overwhelmed by it. anymore. it's that kind of ebb and flow that keeps it from building up to tsunami (or landslide) proportions. and it's a bit like performance art. he creates art in public. that's going to inspire a kid or two.

but he's probably one of "the poor" himself.

Definitely performance art. I think this person has let religion take over his/her life, perhaps to stave off the enormity of living or he/she is just marinating in Christ.
