The Dark Mofo festival in Tasmania
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-06-0...stians/9844308should this just be considered a non-controversial artistic display or as some have said 'an insult to christianity' within a once christian country.
Or is this indicative of a new Australia - a multicultural one which should embrace all sorts of customs; celebrations and art forms??
NB: Dark Mofo is a winter version of the MONA FOMA festival. It celebrates the darkness of the (southern) winter solstice and presents with large scale light installations and a winter feast. The first Dark Mofo was held in 2013 and was headlined by the 15-kilometre-high light installation Spectra.

It seemed to start off quite innocuously but at times became controversial??

That way Christian extremists kick off over something, no matter how trivial, makes me wonder just how strong their religion and god are.Of course, it is nothing to do with religion directly but is a merely the extremists trying to boost their fragile ego (the same one that led them to their religion in the first place) by screaming to the World "LOOK! I am a better Christian than you!"
