    It's rigged fight! Jesus stands no chance against the Argonath.

    This must have something to do with the giant Jesus statue:

    "'Weeping' Virgin Mary Draws Crowd In Windsor, Canada"

    (Of course, they are asking that "donations" be made to your local church, not their local university or science foundation.)

    It's, it's, it's.......a miracle.

    Their hearts are in the right place but it really does look tacky.

    They believe it will put their town of 22,000 on the map for tourists and Roman Catholic pilgrims and bring in needed money...
    I doubt Jesus would be impressed.

    Let the Poles erect their statue of Jesus, a foreign man from the near east. We Germans have the large statue of our national hero: Hermann the Cherusker, defeater of the best legions of the Roman Empire and founder of our common German identity.







    Hermann's confident face looks to the West, to the French border. As an eternal warning to don't mess with us again.

    Maybe not even a man, but an imaginary person? An "idea(l)" taken from Greek philosophers? Mish mash of various legendary existent or non-existent religious figures...

    Maybe Hermann could turn around for a while and have a look at Schwiebus.

    It may interest you that all demilitarized cannons on museum display in this country point to the east.

    The sole exception are the ones on the island fortress of Suomenlinna just outside Helsinki:

    Jesus is no match for the Staypuft Marshmallow Man.

    Nah, it would be some crap Wagnerian take off or some one over dosing on Viking Metal, all horns, beards and grimaces, very undignified and about as inspiring as Saturday morning shopping (says the man who owns an Odin t-shirt that looks like Gandalf).

    Now this:



    I like, humans could be sacrificed to this, hearts and all.
    I believe that legends and myth are largely made of
    “truth”, and indeed present aspects of it that can only be received in this mode; and long ago certain truths and modes of this kind were discovered and must always reappear.

    J.R.R. Tolkien

    Indeed it might be a basic characteristic of existence that those who would know it completely would perish, in which case the strength of a spirit should be measured according to how much of the “truth” one could still barely endure-or to put it more clearly, to what degree one would require it to be thinned down, shrouded, sweetened, blunted, falsified.
    Nietzsche

    To God everything is beautiful, good, and just; humans, however, think some things are unjust and others just.
    Heraclitus
