This was an interesting video. I liked the Thatcher sculpture, too, btw. I tend to not like many of the abstract artwork that I see....I agree with you that the lines have to be fabulous to be attractive.
Thanks! Yeah it was fun I’ll probably do more like this.
As someone who is not religious but aligns with the principles associated with Christ over those often linked to Satan, I argue against the outright condemnation and removal of Satanist symbols or sculptures merely on the basis that they are considered 'bad' in a conventional religious sense. It is crucial to recognize that Satanism, as a belief system, often champions values like autonomy and the questioning of authority, which can be seen as a form of resistance against oppressive structures, rather than an endorsement of evil. The dichotomy of 'good' and 'bad' as solely represented by Christianity and Satanism, respectively, oversimplifies the complex spectrum of beliefs and values within each tradition. Historical instances of oppression and harm can be found within the practices of many religions, including Christianity, highlighting the importance of evaluating actions and beliefs based on their individual merits and impacts, rather than preconceived notions of morality tied to religious affiliation. It’s more constructive to approach the presence of religious symbols, including those of Satanism, with a willingness to understand the intentions of the individuals behind them and the context in which they are used, rather than dismissing or condemning them outright based on generalized assumptions.
Well typed!
Even if you do not believe in God, Satan is a representation of the source of evil. The argument that we cannot discern between one belief system and another and must therefore treat all beliefs as equal is wrong. We can recognize that even though some religious cults believe in human child sacrifice that doesn’t make the practice ok or acceptable. Good and evil exist but some people, especially atheist intellectuals want to pretend that all morality is relative and there is no good or evil but in the extremes it becomes obvious that good and evil are just as real as pain and pleasure. To deny this is to deny the reality of uniform and repeated human experience over the ages as well as denying your own internal moral sense of what is right and wrong.
Just like how there are limits on other human rights like freedoms of speech (like no freedom to incite violence or false advertisement) and the right to bare arms (must be of age, not a felon, etc) there should also be limits on what religious views are protected. Satanism should not be treated the same as Christianity because one promotes the good and the other promotes evil. (Like the satanic temple arguing for abortion as a religious belief in human child blood sacrifice and therefore protected under the freedom of religion).
I’m not a libertarian or a relativist so I don’t believe that everyone should be able to do whatever they want all the time. I believe institutions and government should promote good and discourage evil.
@@AndrewJosephKeithI suppose that’s well and good insofar the institutions themselves don’t corrupt in which case some of the core belief systems of Satanism such as individuality and questioning authority are necessary. While you may see Satan to be a symbol of evil, some see him to be a symbol of reason, viewing the Abrahamic god as evil (for example: why was Eve punished for eating from the tree of knowledge that allowed her to understand what sin is, if prior to eating that fruit, she was entirely ignorant of what it means to sin, etc). I think you missed the commenters original point. Sure, there may be a small subset of Satanists who do immoral things, but the actual Satanic Temple explicitly says it does not promote harm in any of their rituals to animals or humans (and that you don’t need to participate in any rituals to be a member) (i.e. all rituals must be consensual). Additionally, the Satanic Temple also fights the reintroduction of corporal punishment into classrooms with their “Protect the Children” campaign. I am by no means a Satanist, but I can definitely understand some of their viewpoints and think that their reputations are misrepresentations, even if I disagree with them on issues like abortion. To say Satanists are inherently immoral, is also to allow critics of Christianity to say that it is also immoral, given its history and parts of its scripture. Also, to say that *parts* of Satanism are not inherently immoral is not denying the existence of objective morality- it doesn’t have to be all or nothing.

As to be hated needs but to be seen;
Yet seen too oft, familiar with her face,
We first endure, then pity, then embrace.”
― Alexander Pope
@@AndrewJosephKeith In that case, any form of intolerance could be justified under the guise of avoiding vice. I think it speaks to the strength of someone’s belief if they’re able to honestly engage with other ideas without wavering in their own faith; take Bishop Robert Barron for example. In any case, while I could have discussion about theology all day long (current philosophy student), as a mediocre artist, I’m really here for your craftsmanship and because I’ve learned a lot from your videos.
That Thatcher one was kind of funny.
The viewer: oh im going to watch a video about roasting bad art
Andrew: instead of roasting bad art i will use the bad art as why its important to take the extra step in youer art and think hard on is this a good ideal to create
The viewer: i learned something new
How about your top 10 favs. No copying from a blog pls, your honest list.
Good idea! And maybe I’ll do another of these videos on my pics for worst public sculptures. This was really just a quick experiment with a different type of content.
Really surprised the Dr. MLK Jr. sculpture that was introduced a year or two ago. Lemme find the name. Edit: It's called The Embrace & debuted in Boston.
Yeah that’s one I was expecting too. Maybe I’ll have to do a video on my own top 10 worst public sculptures.
Another of the "terrible" sculptures. There is one in Moscow, called Big Clay #4 by Urs Fischer
Surprised the Vatican rejected # 2. Have you seen that giant auditorium with the huge on stage sculpture back drop? It's uh... wow. I'll see if I can find the name.
Edit: It's called Resurrection by Pericle Fazzini. The artist was depicting Jesus in a nuclear explosion as a commentary on nuclear weapons.
Huh I’ll have to look that one up. Maybe I’ll do another of this type of video.
@@AndrewJosephKeithYeah it's rather viscerally disturbing. And the scale of it! 🤯
The spire in Dublin ,,, it had been purposed to numerous other cities but Dublin excepted ,, probably because Dublin has such a heroin problem form years an it looks like a giant needle 😅
“Most creative ideas are bad”???
Yes. Only a tiny fraction of new ideas are innovative.
Is Baphomet really bad & evil? Doesn't he represent knowledge or something? Edit: He represents balance & social order/ cohesion.
The self proclaimed “satanic temple” uses it as their symbol . It’s meant as a mockery of Christianity. But satanists will generally say they don’t actually worship Satan (because they are usually atheists) they worship what Satan worshiped (which is the self) so they put themselves as gods. Either way we as people should be able to judge and say that in a government building “Nativity scene = ok. Satanic shrine = not ok”
@@AndrewJosephKeith I see it more as oppositional than mockery. I don't think the Satanic Temple puts themselves as gods or worship themselves. It's a secular humanist organization which takes a more Enlightenment & humanist approach vs religion. Hence Baphomet as the mascot. I think we should distance ourselves from binary thinking which paints Christians as good & others as bad when we know this perspective lacks nuance. I think the public square should be available to all religions, not just Christianity.
