Nipple Jesus

What I found most engaging in the article was the unique perspective and internal dilemma that the narrator had regarding the Nipple Jesus painting. As he said himself, "If i'd had read about 'Nipple Jesus' in the paper, or seen it on the news, i'd have thought it was wrong, no question. -- But it's more complicated when you actually stand by it all day." The narrator knows that like so many other individuals he would have innately been against the premise of this art work, but due to his unique situation he finds himself in a sort of moral quandary/dilemma, which makes for an interesting narrative.

The most troubling part of the story for me is the ending. There is so much build up throughout the entire story, and the author goes into so much detail on so many things. Then, they spend about 4 pages wrapping everything up with the destroying of the painting and the exhibiting of the movie. I thought that this did fit the context and style of the narrative, but it nevertheless did seem just a tad abrupt.
