“If there is no God, everything is permitted,” is a quote falsely attributed to the great Russian novelist Dostoyevsky. Nevertheless, it holds true.
But there is a God and those who hate that fact resort to mockery and derision to mock moral boundaries and make a buck in the process.
Take, for example, the singer Demi Lovato. The former Disney Channel star posed for a poster that shows the 30-year-old in a “bondage-style outfit whilst lying on a large, cushioned crucifix,” according to Fox News.
The poster — designed to promote Lovato’s new album “Holy Fvck” — has been banned Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) in the United Kingdom because it is “likely to cause serious offense to Christians,” according to the report.
Controversy sales. There’s no mistaking it. On one level, Lovato’s scheme may be just another cynical attempt to sell her new album. But there’s more to it.

According to the report published by the ASA, the people making a formal complaint about the poster “challenged whether the ad was likely to cause serious or widespread offense.” They also suggested it was “irresponsibly placed” where children could see it.
The ASA report stated, “We considered that the image of Ms. Lovato bound up in a bondage-style outfit whilst lying on a mattress shaped like a crucifix, in a position with her legs bound to one side which was reminiscent of Christ on the cross, together with the reference to ‘holy fvck’, which in that context was likely to be viewed as linking sexuality to the sacred symbol of the crucifix and the crucifixion, was likely to cause serious offense to Christians.”
Talk about stating the obvious.
Posing for the photo shoot makes Lovato appear as if she is in league with Satan. Who else would agree to such blasphemy? But, things are often not as they appear. Might Lovato be crying out for help?
