How is a protestant icon of Christ painted? You make various assumptions (Christ is God and human, therefore omnipotent and incarnated, etc.) and you construct an entity, inventing various effects to depict the divine nature, adding whatever is needed to paint goodness, etc. Making a protestant icon is applying the humanistic ‘logic’ to christianity, a mixture of sentimentalism and guessing, actual proof of a faith that has become ideology and atheism; hence the body becomes a cell, the spirit, however powerful, is being imprisoned.
