‘Unbelief is as much of a choice as belief is. What makes it in many ways more appealing is that whereas to believe in something requires some measure of understanding and effort, not to believe doesn’t require much of anything at all’. – Frederick Buechner, Whistling in the Dark: An ABC Theologized (San Francisco: Harper & Row, 1988), 108.

Am I right in thinking the paintings by Ernie Barnes use religious paintings/themes as a basis? The sports paintings on the site, for instance, have very familiar ‘shapes’.

Well, I don’t mean no offense, but, as much as I agree on the the first proposition “Unbelief is as much of a choice as belief is”, as much the rest is pure BS.
“[…]not to believe doesn’t require much of anything at all” ??? wtf
