i'm dissapointed. i have been watching this for almost 10 minutes and not yet has anyone uttered the phrase "cowabunga dudes".

Michelangelo was very inspired and full of knowledge about the topic and doctrine. The bible is not all literal, furthermore the pope Julius II questioned the doctrines on this painting, but he finally said: "it seems that God speaks to his artists more than he does to his priests." I believe he was right.

Lol you're an idiot aren't you? You need models to paint... Let's see, what do people look like in italy at that time... hmmm, white. Anyone that knows anything about Michelangelo will know that he used men as models for his women, and was likely homosexual, so its probable that he either didn't know what female genitalia looked like,or much more likely, it wasn't acceptable at the time to depict female genitalia, and it would have gotten him into trouble. Or maybe he subliminally tried to...no.

It is Art and nothing but Art. A worship to the ideas born in Ancient Greece and Rome.

I'm not attacking the artwork itself but what it represents in a place that is supposedly about Christ & I'm attacking the distorted attitude towards sex in the Roman Catholic indoctrination

[Ras Mark]

Yes if it is suposed to represent Christ, check out Ethiopian Christian art

The nude body isn't always about sex or sexuality. The human form is the most beautiful thing ever...most artists at some point are compelled to draw, paint or sculpt it. I draw male nudes all the time...doesn't mean I'm heterosexual. ;)

And that's a bad thing?
