"But when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come." - John 16:13
When I was in Elementary school, we had to do school projects. I remember one I did was called "The Inside Story." I took two large cardboard sheets of paper and made little flaps that you could open and shut on the front. I drew pictures of objects on the flaps and then drew pictures of what made the objects "work" on the inside of the flap, hence the name "The Inside Story." When you opened the flap, you could see a drawing of the inside of the object. I was always fascinated with how things worked as a kid. I remember one was of Superman and when you opened the flap, a drawing of Clark Kent was on the inside. I remember another one was a traffic light and when you opened the flap, you could see the circuitry inside of it. As I have been studying philosophy, religion, holy texts, history and current events, this same idea occurred to me except this time in the form of making animated morphed .gif art of various philosophers, cult leaders, historical, celebrities, rich or other prominent political figures. The result is a somewhat unnerving, disturbing expression of their inner thought life and spiritual "state" based on their quotes or actions in light of how the Bible describes the fallen nature of human beings with Jesus Christ as the only remedy for salvation. When Jesus Christ walked the Earth, he didn't seem to stick his nose into political affairs too often, he mostly rebuked religious hypocrites, such as the Scribes and Pharisees (Woes of the Pharisees) who appeared beautiful on the outside, but were filthy on the inside. After all, what shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul? (Mark 8:36,Matthew 16:26,Luke 9:25) Click on the the links under the numbers corresponding with the animations for information on how I got the ideas for making these. I used a program called "FantaMorph 3" to morph and animate all of the images. Here are a few examples:
What are these comments supposed to mean? Hahaha
