Keeping in mind that this is the opinion of someone who just last night prayed to Satan for aid and succor, I find that the church is way too warm looking, safe, and inviting to really communicate the horror the children must be feeling to see that they are in a cult-structure dedicated to the worship of a mostly-naked man who has been tortured to death.
And tortured to death because the children are by definition "bad people."
There is a lot of Satanic art that makes fun of Christian iconphraphy and makes the Gothic cathedrals look like houses of weakness, lies, and folly. But to portray the innocence of young children swallowed up by what really is a strong, powerful and utterly anti-human religion devoted to death and suffering is something I have yet to see and have often yearned for.
I had the impression from your discription that this was what you were trying to portray. Your work stands very much on it's own merrit, but with less irony than I had expected.
