Amored Churches

Religion's Think Tank Goes Literal

Religion is always a touchy subject no matter what creed or background the person is you are discussing it with. That said, I think it’s safe to say that armored churches are the greatest invention in the history of organized faith.

Artists Kris Kuksi and Wim Delvoye have finally found a way to make religion entertaining without handing it over to the corporations. Just imagining rolling through some industrial area blowing up derelict buildings all the while saying the Lord’s Prayer. Sounds like a Sunday to me! Imagine taking this on a field trip if you were ever in a religious elementary school.

Armored churches, not just strengthening faith, but making it bulletproof.
