Art Critic 'Bites' back at anti-Christian bias, and gets paid for it!

Brian Sherwin is a prodigiously busy man. A Christian, free-thinking art critic and commentator. "I’m one of the few art critics you’ll meet who happens to be openly Christian. I make my living from writing about art. Very few people can say that. My faith has not held me back but inspires me – and it is why I know there is still a lot of work to be done within the world of art. [link]
I’ll add that I know that my religious preference is not tolerated in some circles of the art world, specifically mainstream sections of the art world in New York City – while other religious choices are tolerated. What can I say? Christianity is an easy “punching bag” for some people. If Andres Serrano had created “Piss Muhammad” instead of “Piss Christ,” I guarantee it would never be shown by big museums but labeled “hateful” and “intolerant.”
