Subject: [Puptcrit] Religious Puppeteers on list.

"How about Jewish or other religious puppeteers on this list?   Are you using your puppetry to share your faith or is your work independent from your personal beliefs?"

Why did no one raise an objection when this question was asked? Because you expected praise God and thank you Jesus answers? and when you don't get them?
The question asks how I use puppetry to share my faith and beleifs and because contemporary world politics are being driven by an absurdist christian culture...you notice the term absurdist NOT absurd.....directed by a manifest destiny as prescribed by G.W I am duty bound to counter and to promote a broader vision. Still troubled? Consider how the U.S Christian stance on the middle east contradicts the edicts of the Christian Bible......the contradiction is the absurdist Christian culture...NOT the belief in a Judaic Prophet/ Deity, consider how the absurdist Christian culture holds that it is acceptable to desecrate the planet in the quest for wealth because in the end God will step in and make it all good again for THEM! Now that is absurd and that is what I use performance art, including puppetry, to counter.

Thanks

Daniel
