Strange Religion by *The-Mirrorball-Man is detailed and amazing. You need to have a closer look. Fantastic depictions in an awesome style with great colours.

Description
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.

is the man with the lighting bolt representing christ, the flame representing the devil and the wind representing the holy spirit. and this is recalling all the experience of the bible Jesus goes through?
