Jury Decides Artist's Gory Images On Website Are Art 289
New submitter wilbrod writes "A Quebec special effects artist charged with corrupting morals has been found not guilty in a case that tested the boundaries of creative expression and Canadian obscenity laws. He was charged with three counts of corrupting morals by distributing, possessing and producing obscene material. During the trial, Couture argued his gory works, roughly a thousand images and two short videos that appeared on Couture's website, Inner Depravity, should be considered art. The material in question depicts gruesome murders, torture, sexual abuse, assaults and necrophilia — all with young female victims."

Christians believe that Jesus made the ultimate sacrifice. Hence they should also believe that there is no need for more sacrifices to wash more sins.
Whether you believe that or not is a different matter.
You imply they're spreading misinformation, and yet you yourself spread misinformation in the process.

It's nigh impossible to get an accurate count of the number of criminal laws on the books.
