~ Holy Backfire: Spiritual Imagery Gone Horribly Wrong ~

~ Nuclear Holocaust, Anyone?  Compare the "Inspiring Spiritual" image above to the 2 images below. ~

Was the above "Spiritual" post the result of a renegade staff graphic designer, or - hopefully not - the indiscriminate direction of the author himself?  We might chalk this one up to lack of communication between author and designer, or simply lack of real knowledge about how color and imagery, when chosen incorrectly, convey a meaning drastically different from what the author or designer originally intended.  Question is... what exactly was the intention behind choosing explosive imagery (above) to illustrate "Quantum Expansion and Miracles?"  Visual references to Fire commonly inspire Fear in viewers, not Hope, while "Explosion on the Horizon over a well-kept Garden" conveys a feeling of "Needing Protection."  See what you think about the above image when compared to the overt references to war and violence in the images below.  ~ MHCI
