KANYE WEST BRINGS JESUS OUT ON STAGE!

'Jesus walks' by Kanye West', 'Hail Mary' by 2Pac, theres always been alot of Christian symbolism in secular rap. Some people call it the quest for artistes to associate themselves with a higher power.

 I feel this is a very dangerous trend. Especially for the Artist. When sacred and Holy symbols loose their significance and used as props in the name of artistic license  we mock the power and all they represent.

Here Kanye brings out what appears to be Jesus. Jesus appears to speak some words of direction to him but the whole context makes me uncomfortable, even the guy holding the camera says 'he's gone too far'. What do you think?
