Bizarre yes.
Inducing a state of cognitive disconnection in human groups is really well effected by use of cercive themes rendered visually in public spaces.

That's not a quote, that's my observation of a scriptural truth: God revals Himself primarily via intimate word (ie, truth is revealed aurally in the judaeo-christian tradition)..whereas the gentile, man-centred worldview(inherited from the east by Plato et al)involves the revelation of truth by VISUAL means. That is,gentile wisdom is at best in total error, even before it gets going: hence we need grace, dummy: revelation by VISUAL means is not God's way, it is man's way. And thinking that "truth" is ever revealed by visual means, is itself a lie that gentile flesh is heir to far more readily than the natural root of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

In short, in the west, we conceptualise differently than the nation of Israel by default, and we are blinder for it, as we are conditioned to the visual rather than aural. Ergo, the miracle of grace, which is partly to confound the true nation of Israel by the sheer unwarranted love now freely available to the "foreign wife" meriting a double portion to signify her inclusion. Read Deut and Luke 15 and Romans 9 for sharper focus on this.

Thing is here: God knew full well that visual means passive, listening is active, and that belief based on empirical sight rather than Word is invalid.

So: if you want to confuse the public so they will behave as you wish, come making important decisions about Europe and the like: HEY, just mess their minds up! Heck, add football and a visit by The Donald rather than investigating the Clintons' sexual power games, and we'll do just what we're told, cos we're thick as shit really.

Er, kind of thing.
