The Message Driven By Who?

 I had a chance to see the art exhibition in the Visual Arts Building in the UTD campus, and I disagreed with one of the arts exhibited, Jesus killing Native Americans with machine guns and other modern weapons.

I soon realized that Jesus did not literally mean himself, but the Christian immigrants from Europe, who came to America in the past and killed so many Native Americans to gain dominance over the land. It was so ironic that Jesus as a savior became a destroyer in the painting. Even though the painting symbolized the tragedy of Native Americans in the past, I disagree that Jesus was an accurate representation of the European immigrants, who had destroyed the Indians’ communities. I thought the painting was the representation of what other people think who Jesus would be to teach his members to kill. Wrong! These immigrants never followed and practiced Jesus’ direction of living for the sake of others and saving the world, but rather destroyed them; therefore, the immigrants with the cross on their chests were not the representation of Jesus.
