God's Eye View: Scenes from the Bible As Seen from Heaven

In a series titled God's Eye View, artist collective The Glue Society created a series of scenes out of The Bible, as they would've been seen from Heaven:

Scenes from the Bible have been imagined by countless artists over the centuries, but never quite like this. God’s Eye View portrays four key Biblical events as if captured by Google Earth.

God’s Eye View depicts Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, Noah’s Ark, and Moses parting the Red Sea as well as The Crucifixion. “We like to disorientate audiences a little with all our work. And with this piece we felt technology now allows events which may or may not have happened to be visualized and made to appear dramatically real,” say The Glue Society’s James Dive. “As a method of representation satellite photography is so trusted, it has been interesting to mess with that trust.”

"We like to disorientate audiences a little with all our work."

At first this quote tweaked my sensibilities because I thought "disorientate" was not a legitimate word, but then I found this definition on dictionary.com:

\Dis*o"ri*en*tate\, v. t. To turn away from the east, or (figuratively) from the right or the truth. [R.]

"To turn away...from the truth." Interesting.

Fucking stupid Christians.

Heaven is not UP there. Your Alien planet may be! Get off my planet you Christians! Bunch of fucking Alien freaks that had no place to call home so you poisoned our people on this innocent planet and fucked it all up. Damned Vampires. Why the fuck would a person want to drink the blood and eat the body of Christ the Alien every fucking Sunday? Nothing but a Vampire would ask that.

Get off my planet. Now.

Who said we were athiest? You know, there are other religions out there other than Christianity. Religions that have been around longer, and have millions and millions of followers too.
