What We Know-Triptch

I was raised having to go to religious school and while I appreciated the blind faith that comes with religion, eventually in order for one to truly believe what they are being taught they need to question it.  For me when i questioned it I found that majority of the things I was taught didn't hold true.  The top panel is a play on the stained glass window that was in my church.  In the middle is a shadow of a person.  I think that while the church teaches that god will forgive any sin if you repent, it justifies the actions religious nuts commit.  The shadow therefore represents you, because you are your own god.  Only you have the capability of determining right from wrong.  On the bottom left is an open book that looks like the bible and it reads Holy Shit were all fucked
