Oklahomans shaken by crucifix that raises the stake issue (page 2)

Think About It

After seeing that picture, I'm pretty sure Matthew 16:18 was mistranslated.

Think About It

LOL..It's actually just some overly emphasized abdominal muscles. Medieval art often had poor anatomical structure, because it was considered a sin to actually look at a naked body. Da Vinci actually broke church law to draw anatomically correct human beings, and so did other Renaissance artists, such as Michaelangelo.

Both gayer than pink toe shoes on a spring lamb, by the way. They enjoyed looking at nude male models in their studios and did extensive studies of them in secret, but that gave us our first accurate representations of the human form in art since Greek and Roman times.

I've seen some old icons (see the next link), but I think the special reaction
this icon has gotten is due to the abdomen being designed in Oklahoma by a local
artist to be more tubular than I remember seeing for someone trying to avoid
suggesting Jesus' tubic area.

There's my argument. The JWs leaders have gotten the followers so out of
touch with the mainstream that they think if it was centuries before Jesus was
worshipped. His rod and his staff would comfort you. I finally understand the
first verse of "Joy to the World." Sure makes you want to reread the Sermon on
the Mount. (Sorry.)

Those little dudes around him sure do seem to be checking out his package,
though.

Bart: [on grandstand to the townspeople] Excuse me while I whip this out. [reaches into waistline as crowd gasps and screams; Bart pulls out paper, they sigh with relief]
