Learning to Appreciate Art

 I would have put on a pair of pants for this one. This was one of my first impressions. Secondly,the guy laying down doesn't look like he is particularly enthused about having his buddy from in the heavens touch his hand,kind of like *meh* ok you're here *yawn*.

 I'm no art afficiando as you can tell. My take on it is this..... represented in a figurative pictoral way  mankind is unconcerned and  out of touch with the guy upstairs. The guy upstairs is still all for keeping in touch though. The nudity part is representative of mankind basically helpless  without the guy upstairs. The guy laying down with no underwear is  making a half hearted effort to connect but his apparent disinterest shows IMO....or it could be two guys looking to make some kind of hand contact,one of em' happens to fly and the other one needs some clothes.

 

This is cool...

That's the way they use to do it before they invented the fist pump.

so I was at the Sistine Chapel trying to learn to appreciate the great works of Michaelangelo.  I would appreciate your interepretation of this famous painting if you are an art afficianado. 
 
I cannot help but think "Hey Adam, pull my finger" when I see this.

That would be a heavenly fart. I imaging smelling like frying becan.
The picture, I read once, is when the god is imbuing Adam with life with his touch. So Adam, in the picture, is just a lump of flesh, waiting for his soul to be implanted.

Hell I dunno man -- the whole thing just looks like a bad "gay" porn cartoon - 

nothing againts gay people who like watching cartoon porn 


but why put a gay porn screen shot on a church cieling ? I am pretty sure the bible says porn is sin ...

you think that todays churchs and politicans are messed up 


and I cant stop staring at that small penis  - why didnt he paint it bigger - did he run out of paint ? maybe ran out of the color for penis ?

And I thought the song was 'Pennies from heaven'

Zero gay porn cartoons here

But I did come up ith a great gay porn name

Must have been a chill in the air.  

HI,
 
I would think that the message is ... my finger is loaded and is pointed at you, son, to go out and save the world.
 
And he's retorting ... dad, you're a jerk to think I can save the world like this!
 
Son, you are a star!
 
You think anyone is going to believe me in Hollywood and in London with a cock like that?
 
Ok ... Peter Cook jokes aside, I don't think there is a "meaning per se" but one can probably find a Biblical passage that this might be referring to in the old testament ... and we already know what the message is ... and I can tell you that it's not on that new bible either ... but then, no one reads that stuff anymore! So why bother!
