Street art has the freedom of
expressing what the ‘artist’ wishes to convey. However, despite it being a
beautiful reality, in the dullness of a modern city, we identify that many of
its messages can be rude, anti-religious, anti-political, anarchist etc. Below
we find two anti-religious graffiti, located, ironically but deliberately, near
the largest Orthodox Church in Mytilene, St Therapon. The first wishes to
express the ‘stupidity’ of the existence of God: ‘believing in God is like
believing in Superman’ whilst the second one is both anti-religious and
against the government, claiming: ‘God wants you to be a sheep and the government a
slave.’
