You have to actually undertsand that even for Jews and Christians the making of any image is a grave and seirous SIn. It is quite unfortunate that Christians and Jews do not feel the same way when Jesus and Moses (May the Peace and Blessings of God be upon them Both) are degraded and mocked everyday by even their own adherents. ..[/quote]

Quote by: Praxius First.... one was a comic.... if they didn't like it, and they were opposed by someone depicting what their God looked like.... then say so and leave it at that... |
When God man man in His Image, that doesnt necessarily mean two arms, two legs, a head, ears, eyes, nose etc.. just as a painter imagines what his canvas will look like even before he picks up a brush, God has no image and no form. He is the Infinite Who encompasses the whole universe. He has neither a body, nor is He material, nor do the visions comprehend Him. To think that God has a form of a man is insanely degrading.

Quote by: Praxius Now when all this BS about removing X-mas tress from public places, airports, government buildings.... switching "Merry Christmas" to "Happy Holidays" and all the other oppression that is occurring to Christianity, you'd think Christians would be causing riots, protests and anger about it.... but they're not........ |
AGain quite unfortunate that they do not take a stronger stance in their beliefs, much of the problem though rests on the fact that many of the holidays that they celebrate really have no christian origin and those that had any revelance have become completely commercial and based upon innovation.
