Strange Religionby *The-Mirrorball-Man

Cartoons & Comics / Digital Media / Comics / Other

I was in Vatican City last summer, and among many other things I saw this painting [link] , which is a series of scenes from the Last Judgement.

As I was looking at it, I suddenly saw myself submerged by a singular feeling of alienness: what would one feel, when looking at this painting, if they had absolutely no religious education whatsoever? How would they relate to it? How would they interpret the symbolism? Would they understand the story? Would they just be completely lost?

This deviation is my attempt at evoking a similar feeling.

J'étais au Vatican l'été dernier, et parmi d'autres choses, j'ai vu cette oeuvre [link] , qui est une série de scènes du Jugement dernier.

En regardant ce tableau, je me suis soudain senti submergé par un singulier sentiment d'étrangeté: que ressentirait, en voyant cette image, quelqu'un qui n'aurait absolument aucune éducation religieuse? Comment l'accueillerait-il? Comment en interpreterait-il le symbolisme? Comprendrait-il l'histoire? Ou serait-il totalement perdu?

Cette déviation est ma tentative de susciter un sentiment similaire.

Parece como si en todo el tiempo tanto en el cielo como en la tierra y en el infierno parezcan ser lo mismo que sucede, ese circulo vicioso que vamos hacia el.

la verdad, es como en todo, tu haces tu cielo y tu infierno, honestamente lo que esta diciendo también me recuerda que en libros y otra gente que ha tenido experiencia con los seres de otros planetas están y pasaron la misma situación, muy arriba parecen ser ellos.

Total, todos pelean por sus ideologías, filosofías, el cual todas las religiones son conocimiento, todas llevan a un mismo punto, el problema es que nosotros las mal interpretamos. Creo que honestamente nos están diciendo que entre menos unión y todo esto ocurrirá casi en un futuro que ya casi estamos mas cercanos si no dejamos atrás el fanatismo.

Muchas gracias por este dibujo, así lo interprete n.n
