Art is supposed to be open to interpretation, if it isnt then imo it isnt any good at all and shouldnt be called art.
Work is of two kinds: first, altering the position of matter at or near the earth's surface relatively to other such matter; second, telling other people to do so.
But a belief system is the epiphany of relativity, it's defined by the individual. Couldn't you then say 'relativity' is not 'relative' as it is a universal concept.
In that case Art must be a relative concept.....that's what I love about it.
Learn as if you were going to live forever. Live as if you were going to die tomorrow. --Mahatma Gandhi
I have a far more pertinant question...why does God wish us to worship him?
Art is the bullshit from within..i'm not saying it's not good...but i love bullshit..I define anything that allows you to enjoy life without seeking a definite goal as bullshit.
Art like some writing isn't always meant to be open to interpretation but to shape your thought so that you share a concept or feeling/emotion with it's creator.
Plus there is no evil only social concepts that have evolved with us to allow us to live long enough to breed, if serial killing was the norm we'd have evolved to be really good at it..in this scenario you'd end up with just one human really good at killing standing on a pile of other humans.
There is only one absolute truth and that is chaos...and even that doesn't let you study it.
Bet there's a damn sight too many artworks entitled Chaos or even worse Kaos

and thats enough from me.

Chaos is random...some scientists and mathematicians have found patterns within it but on closer inspection they are illusions..of course this like almost everything is controvercial..Structured chaos is not chaos by my understanding.

good? evil? they dont exist in that when you look closely at the concepts they are insupportable! fallacy!
so what if god exists?
has he ever bothered with any of you personally?
"Good and evil are supportable by fact.God has been very close to me and touched my life heart through others"
Ooo contridicting without proof.

Basic logic goes thus...
1. God's benevolence means that God will not do evil or allow evil to be done. (Note that it is not that God cannot do evil for that would restrict God's power. God can do evil but will not do it because God is good.)
And
2. God's omnipotence means that God has the power to ensure that no evil will be done.
Therefore
3. If God exists there will be no evil in the world. (Because, by premises (1) and (2), God has both the will and the power to prevent all evil.)
But
4. There is evil in the world.
Therefore
5. God does not exist
This arguement is known as modus tollens -- if p then q, not-q therefore not p.
Any thoughts or opinions, do you think this can prove there is no God?
Only if one accepts your first two premises as true...
