Twisted
Monday, May 25th, 2009
I’ve previously commented on the way fundamentalists tend to twist their facts, evidences, and studies around to suit their own purposes while simultaneously condemning others for doing so. Here is a picture that illustrates this perfectly.
Doug Phillips of Vision Forum, an online-based ultra-conservative ministry that champions the silence and submissiveness of women above any other Christian characteristic put out a CD urging fathers to guard their daughters’ hearts. Know that for Vision Forum, there can be no woman above man in any capacity, so notice how they changed the artwork:
The CD:
The actual picture before photo editing:
Thank you, fundamentalists, for illustrating my points so perfectly.

Ugh. I’ve visited the Vision Forum site and know how angry it makes me, but this altering of the images just makes me…Sad.

In the altered photo is she now giving him a hand job or just fondling??
Just sayin…

You know, that revised image seems a bit too …. racy for religious fundamentalists. Unless of course the CD is subtitled, “5 ways to get your knight off”.

Boy, you’d think they’d be against her grasping his handle like that. Heh heh.

And this may just be a case of condensing an image so as to easier fit the best parts of the graphic into the proper size for the CD’s cover. It could be sexism, or it could be they didn’t want the figures to be extra small on their CD.

Okay, now that’s just weird – weird because it’s so trivial. Besides, couldn’t they have just hired an artist to paint what they wanted?

You could have a contest – best caption for the altered image!
