there are other parts of Utah and Arizona. Mike, let's not be

specific under the banner of heaven where there's a book for you. As opposed, yes, dare I say, to other giant religions in the world, what is wrong with a faith that simply can't look at and digest artistic criticism of itself?
Speaker 1
Charlie Hebdo, that nightmare, that disaster. So you know, that's the world we're in, right? There are people who are open to speaking the truth to their own tribe. There are people who are open to, if not lampooning, at least coming at what they believe in a different way. And that's how I want to land the plane with pageant of the masters. What a fascinating way. There are a lot of people involved with the musical Jesus Christ Superstar, who really and truly did want to elevate the gospel by being involved, including the leads. I've heard them all interviewed. I believe them. I think they believe they were doing God's work in bringing that production to life. So maybe it's a bit of a stretch. But if you're a real fan of art or history or music and you want to take your passion for those things and share them with the masses, what do you do? Do you lecture them on why they should be more interested than they are in the masterworks? Do you force them to eat their peas? Or do you create something like the pageant of the masters where through the simple act of holding still for 90 seconds, you celebrate all three of those things? That's what's cool about art and history and maybe even religion, because to really land the plane on that topic, what is the last supper? But for quite possibly the greatest work of art by Leonardo da Vinci that celebrates the very thing we're talking about right now in a way that once upon a time, a lot of people would have found blasphemous.
