Um... This is is my second try at surreal art. It's kind of how I see religion. Try and guess what I think about it and I'll tell you if it's wright or wrong. Please... Respect how I see things and I'll respect how you see things.... Don't throw bibles at me! *Runs and hides*

It looks like you have symbolism of almost all religons, so I suppose that when it comes to religion that you believe that all religion is tied into one another.
My belief? All religion is to be excepted because God/Godess/Gods/Force's/Something planned us because we are so individual that we need a belief. Since we are all different, we need different beliefs. <blushes at Psy....>

... Holy CRAP! Someone who gets this pic for once! Yes, I believe that they are kind of tied into one another. Branched down by one main one that we don't know of do to the fact it's so old. You know?
Hmmmm... I like your belief. It has a sort of Egyptian feel to it... I like it. ^^

Well, before reading lonelygabu's comment, I noticed a lot of crosses... and a lot of eyes. I usually don't try to get surrealism since its typically so out of there it becomes open to anyone's opinion, making the artists' view merely another part of the whole subjective view of the work (unless you feel the need to know what the artist intended). I have to say that although a bit rough and simplistic, its pretty enjoyable. I really like your liquid effects.
Personally, I think all religion and "anti-religion" is fucked up in some way, even with atheism (do you believe they have a church for that?). Plus the word religion itself sparks so much negativity-and, admittedly, some great philosophical arguements-that I find not affiliating myself with any belief, theism, etc. works best for me.
Typically, though, I define myself as a nihilistic atheist, because to me there is little if no conclusive proof to the existence of a higher power(s), and the simple theory that we evolved out of basically some ancient amoeba in a trillion-year lake on a big dirt ball only a few million years old at the time, with no such validity or presence of spiritualism, makes the most sense to me.
The christians I've known (no offense to others) have been trying "save" me by threatening me with hell and miracles and god's wrath and all that bullshit for years, but I think its quite possible that the whole concept of hell was just figurative metaphor for man's evil ways, used as a scare tactic to keep the moerates/non-believers in check. Most "miracles" I've seen either have perfectly logical explanations that no one believes, of they're so fake that its hard to believe them. I find with existential nihilism-a philisophical belief an not a religious one-the meaning of life becomes meaningless since the meaning is subjective to yourself and possibly others without any gods or higher powers, and therefore life becomes that more valuable since you have such a short time here on earth to do what pleases YOU.
