Sorry I did'nt come back on line( I have an elderly Mum who needed some help)

Whilst I think art can take many forms and indeed pushes the boundries, I did find this particular form not to my liking--whilst appreciating that some people would think it OK.

It is interesting that the protest did not receive any political supportand my opinion is that if it were the writings of any other religous group then all hell would probably break loose.

Thanks for all the comments, just heard that the gallery has now placed the book behind glass but showing comments.

Oh Eldrick you are so annoying. I hate it when people bu""er off like that. Actually there is nothing in the Bible that says you can't work on Sunday. The seventh day is actually Saturday.

I'm fairly religious and it doesn't worry me. It would if it was one of my books but it isn't. I can see that it can kickstart debate and that can only be good.

I've never seen anything by Tracey Emin that feels like art to me but she's not to my taste, nor is Damien Hirst and I don't think I know any other modern artists:) But I do appreciate graffitti:)
