Are we sure this isn’t manufactured outrage to gain attention/publicity

I love Jesus and this isn't at all a reason to ban something. In fact Jesus taught us to focus on important stuff, like helping the poor and taking care of our minds. What people conceive as art is totally irrelevant.

Also, he hung out with sex workers. He would have understood the importance of shock value to advertise.

Well sure, Levato is doing something to get outrage to sell albums, and the usual suspects are selling outrage as Christianity because hot air doesn't have royalties paid to the music industry.

From what I had read, they had actually sought and received approval from the British advertising standards authority. But apparently some complaints were received (I want to say in the single digits?), Causing this reversal.

So while I'm sure this is resulting in plenty of free publicity, I actually don't think this aspect of it was intentional.

Looks like a heavy metal cover, to me at least.

Yeah it doesn't seem that unusual to me. Like of the crazy thing Demi Lovato has said and done, this ranks really low.

Worst thing about it is how disguising dirty that pillow looks

Where can you get a cross-shaped mattress cover?

Same place you got the cross shaped pillows? Otherwise, when in doubt, Amazon

Christians consume flesh and blood of their god weekly, and this is too much for them?!
