Art or Propaganda

I’m a Christian so some of my art contains Christian Symbols such as the cross and Christian Ideas such as being in Noah’s Ark is like being in Christ or being in Babel or the Titanic is like not being in Christ.  In Christ there is safety but in Babel there is danger.  The idea behind Babel and the Titanic is that man can look after himself. 

 

I am working on a picture now which has the idea behind it:

 

            A short sighted man (me) looks at the cross while the Universal Soldier

            (Bush/Rumsfeld) takes a step in the wrong direction.

 

The finished work may be considered political propaganda against the war but since I am a Christian and Bush is a Christian it cannot be considered Religious propaganda surely.  Mind you I regard myself as a Christian without borders (African Christianity is as valid as British Christianity for example) and Bush is an American first and a Christian second.  By contrast Jimmy Carter was a Christian first and an American second and that did not seem to help the hostages at the time.
