So my direction for what I want to do this semester has changed. I've been listening to Megadeth since I was in a car accident. The car I am driving now only has a tape player and one of the only tapes I have is Megadeth. Anyways, while driving a lyric stuck in my head.
"And when you kill a man, you're a murderer
Kill many, and you're a conqueror
Kill them all ... Ooh ... Oh you're a God!"
Kill them all, you're a god. That stuck in my head. Then the question of what makes a god a god came to me. The train of thought I ended up with led me to wanting to depict my own "theories" on the story of jesus. Where he started and where he ended. Now, even though I am an avid atheist, I do believe that there was a person named jesus of course, but I think the stories we have of him today are a bunch of bs and have over the years been extremely distorted. People live their lives based on his and I think that is wrong. People should live their lives based on their own because his probably was nothing like it is portrayed to be.
My goal with this series in the making is to 1)Amuse myself 2)Make strong statements on my thoughts about religion 3)Hopefully offend some people even though this shouldn't, and 4) be able to put together scenes where everything is symbolic of something, kind of in the same vein as Joel Peter Witkin.
