That's Better.. This thread needed ballast, it was listing way to heavy to port side. The Totems will have it sitting better in the virtual waters...
You equate hand-made, painstakingly-crafted art honouring life and spirit with a million-dollar monument to a torture device - and call that "balance?"

I think not.
No, not equating, Totems acting more like an antidote or counter-balance if you can envision that. Sorry if I offended your senses in such a usage, but this baby was REALLY listing to port, like "jump over she's gonna capsize!!" type of list... Needed a strong counter-pull...

Can't say I quite grasp the analogy but I can certainly accept you meant no offense and I apologize for insinuating you might have.
Construction began in Corpus Christi, TX on the largest cross in the Western Hemisphere. The cross is expected to be 210 feet tall and its construction required help of volunteer contributions to make it a reality. It is being erected under the guidance of Pastor Mike Rilby of the Abundant Life Fellowship in Corpus Christi. Apparently he has forgotten the wisdom of Matthew 6:6
Dear Scooby,
Sol Invictus, the sun god, will be proud. Constantine, the beast with two horns like a lamb, was to deceive "those who dwell on the earth" (Rev 13), and he was to conquer under the sign of the cross, per his vision at the battle of Milvian Bridge in 312 AD. Constantine's god was Sol Invictus, and in 313 AD he struck a gold coin giving glory to Sol Invictus. The fairy tale story given by Eusebius was simply a tale to give credibility to his Roman church. Those who make idols are called "stupid" (Jer 51:17).
Jeremiah 51:17
All mankind is stupid, devoid of knowledge; Every goldsmith is put to shame by his idols, For his molten images are deceitful, And there is no breath in them.
Just curious. Is that on public land? If so, I wonder when the ACLU be suing over it, as it's a religious display.
I think the Great Sphinx is also a religious display, and so are the pyramids.
Of course, the religions they represent are extinct, so they are more like cultural artifacts.
