It is fresco on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel and was not intended to be erotic or pornographic. Throughout church history this image has been symbolic with the theme of the story that God is the Creator. That said, we have cropped the image you found offensive. There's no reason to become a stumbling block and distract from the story. Thank you for the feedback. Dear Jean,

I would like to know how God uses Conner just as his grandfather has stated, so please have an update so the world will know. I have a comment about the picture and I know what it represents but, when sin entered and our eyes were open all I see is the nakeness of man for which God himself covered. Therefore, I don't believe christians should portray pictures for which God word forbids. The article just confirms that God is the divine healer. I would like to know how God uses Conner just as
