If churches had these awesome xray-style skeletons as stained glass, then I am sure a whole lot more people would go. It would most certainly attract a different crowd.
They are really striking as works of art, and I am particularly fond of the one where the two male skeletons are kissing. Coming in second place is the masturbating skeleton. Of course all of them would be great images to look at whilst you prayed for your sins.
Behind these is Wim Delvoye who also gave us the fabulous cement truck pieces.
