God is being offended in so many ways, by so many people, I therefore chose an artist whose best known piece of art is known for its raw depiction of man's sinful nature and the consequences that comes from giving in to temptation. The artist is none other than Hieronymus Bosch.

His art always scares me. It certainly does the job of putting the fear of God in me.
