I find it interesting that this story of the last judgment is based on what this artist came up with to make a name for himself among the cathedral artists and buy bread for his family. I do think it's pretty cool. And hey, why not? Religious people base their faith on worse.
Anyone who has ever read Job knows God isn't a nice guy. Where this whole make-love-not-war, hippie-God crap came from is beyond me *ahem*pussy-ass Christians*ahem*. I mean, at least the Jews had the balls to make up a good, old fashioned, mean God and admit it! Like the Greeks. Now they knew how to invent gods.
