Thankyou Kareen for your comments and for understanding the premise of the show - a word is a word indeed and really holds no power although some seem to think it does. The title of the show came from the famous line apparently found when playing 'stairway to heaven' backwards and references the paranoia people seem to experience about the Devil. I find it hilarious to read the comments by the above viewers who seem to embody the very emotions I was critiquing in my work! I guess I should be thankful my work had such an impact!! Amyway, I know I am late in my reply but I have only just found this website. Long live the crafts and arts - whatever the subject matter!

When I saw this thing, I realized this was not a site I wanted to visit.I'm not particularly religious, but I'm offended and disgusted, and I won't be back. I have no idea why someone would want to post such a thing.But I'm glad to see I'm not alone in my revulsion. Thank you Linda and Ann for being brave enough to make the comments you did. Nowadays anything is suppossed to be acceptable as long as you slap the word "Art" over it.Ann, I think you hit it right on the head.

I’m not particularly religious, but I’m offended and disgusted, and I won’t be back. I have no idea why someone would want to post such a thing.

But I’m glad to see I’m not alone in my revulsion. Thank you Linda and Ann for being brave enough to make the comments you did. Nowadays anything is suppossed to be acceptable as long as you slap the word “Art” over it.

Ann, I think you hit it right on the head.

This is uncalled for and not needed. It doesn't serve any purpose. Another title could have been used. Out of respect for others, but especially to reverence God, she should have not used such a title. Now her name will always be associated with Satan's. Another sign of the times.
