My first thought is this: How did a painting — The Last Supper — become a holy relic? We are talking of a painting created more than a thousand years after the death of Jesus. Jesus didn’t paint it, it’s just DaVinci’s impression, his art. The argument borne of outrage is like saying, “How dare anyone strike the same pose as the one in a photograph staged to look like Jesus?”

Should people be prohibited from wearing sandals and beards because Jesus wore them?

No doubt there is an outrage over drag queens, gays, bisexuals, trans people, and men who wear pink hats embroidered with flowers. This is somehow a crime against God. And because God cannot take care of himself, he needs religious people to defend him against men in dresses. This is the logic of religious minds.

This statement you wrote adds an extra dose of crazy into the mix: “Leonardo was himself queer and not even Christian.” So religious people who hate gays are defending a famous gay artist’s work because they think it is sacred. I’m pretty sure that if DaVinci were alive today he would be so hated and demeaned by religious followers that his paintings would be dismissed as evil.

Religion is immune to logic.
