I’m not a Christian _____

Once again, someone takes my opinion on art and how Christian culture has a distorted perception of how it is to be viewed:

What I take this to mean is this: it is the power of the creative medium, in creativity and ambiguity itself, to ask questions, to evoke thought, rather than just give answers. It is my fervent opinion that the ultimate role of the artist in culture is to provoke a response in the audience, to cause the listener, the viewer, to wrestle with concpets of life, love, regret, salvation, and eternity so that the author himself fades into the background of the work itself, thus leaving the greater question with the mind of said audience.

I seem to be putting puzzle pieces up here, provided by others, that express what I believe in ways I am not yet capable. At some point I’ll make an attempt at putting the pieces together in hopes that someone else might identify with where I am.
