*Shrugging my furry shoulders for that would be Sandro Botticelli's Birth of Venus* Venus has emerged from the sea on a shell which is driven to the shore by flying wind-gods amidst a shower of roses. As she is about to step on to the land, one of the Hours or Nymphs receives her with a purple cloak. \n\nFollowed as a close second by Michelangelo's David...\n\nLinks to both are included below.

Probably the Cistine Chapel. The Anglican Cathedral in Liverpool is a masterpiece, too.

Good question.  A chatting violation, I think, but thought-provoking nonetheless.\n\nMy first thought was the Mona Lisa.\nThen I thought I might prefer a sculpture.  So I was thinking along the lines of Venus de Milo or David.

That is one of the most Amazing works of art I've ever laid my eyes on.  His words move beyond poetry into something more devine and true than a lable of art could possibly define.

Halloween. Actually, it is my religious new year. A time for joy and to celebrate the lives of those who have passed on in the previous year. It is by far the most fun!

My personal favorite is:\n " In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God.... All things were made by Him and without Him was not anything made that was made. \n  In Him was life and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in the darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. ...\n   He was in the world , and the world was made by Him and the world knew Him not.\n   He came unto His own and His own received Him not.\n   But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God. \n   And the Word was made flesh and dwelt amongst us, full of grace and truth."

There are soooooooooo many stories in the bible that i love. but one of my favorite stories would have to be when Jesus died on the cross though its graphic it shows how much He loves us and shows what He did so our sins can be forgiven. and another would have to be the prodigal son because that story is the only story that shows God running to his lost son. very touching story that i love very much but there are plenty more stories that are my favorite.

Hocus Pocus, pure and simple!\n\n(I was a catholic for 28yrs until I decided to study up on my "religion" from their own writings, and was amazed at the nonsense of it). They, themselves, convinced me it was false!

Definitely fish! I know Jesus likes a fish supper, especially when Mary is around.\n\n'SOO GUY'.. Why, you have a problem with people expressing their thoughts? I guess you're a Christian, should everyone just listen to you then uh? A$$hole.

This is my favorite part:  if the Husband solemnizes a “religious marriage” with another woman without permission of the Wife...\n\nRight.

tattoos. who ever wrote the bible obviously was a very uptight dweeb who could not see the art in tattooing. i myself have nine tattoos and consider myself a living canvas for each tattoo artist who has worked on me.
