Which Herodotus ? The famous traveler lived before Jesus !

My bad - I meant Flavius Josephus!

Describing Jesus, evidently a Jew as an ugly, dark haired crippled individual and presenting fictional picture of an ugly man in order to manipulate viewer and to stir bad emotions - thats the Nazi way! Do you dare to deny the fact?

Quoted by a 1st Century historian drawing on a Roman source presenting a probably partly accurate picture of an ugly man in order to manipulate viewer and to stir bad emotions- that's the Roman way! Do you dare to deny the fact?

no, it was your tought... mine approach/observation was about the region...

No, you are just trying to wriggle your ass out of it!(nice view )
Observation about region populated by Jews ? Are you going to tell me that you didn't know that ?

and now you should stop behaving like an angry chihuahua and relax your anus......

Well, since we are on the subject, isn't your hubby not fulfilling your needs or your needs are boundless ?

Used by jonni in order to manipulate a viewer and to stir bad emotion against a Jew! That make you an anti-Semite !

In fact used by Jonni to prod a viewer into not defining their image of Jesus on the basis of His looks as presented in flattering 19th century Christian art and to stir reflection on the human tendency to project their own values and imagery on to a real historical figure whose message is described by his followers as timeless. Does that mean I'se a pro-Semite?

But instead of Stalin they put Jesus.

Isn't that better?...What's the problem?...Does it offend 'cosmopolitan' sensibilities?...Brazilians have no problem.

Brazilians have no problem.

I heard yesterday..that under EU rules about balance and fairness they have to errect a similar sized statue of Satan within 100 meters of the Christ statue....

Sounds like EU...Supporting 'balance & diversity'.

So, they've definitely confirmed that the mound of earth they perched it on is 'part' of the statue?

[i]Here is the statue, a handsome representation in the classic style: Christ with His arms outstretched to His people...To Poles, it should be a reminder that even though they may stumble, and fall, and even though the world may seem to shun them, Our Lord is there for them.

Who is "shunning" Poland?

Incidentally, it should also remind Poles that while hundreds of people died from the cold in Poland last winter and with another fierce winter predicted, there's still money to spend on lavish statues while others freeze (literally) to death.

It's ok.

I could have made them a much nicer rendition in oil though.

Money to build holocaust museums and keep Auschwitz spic and span, too...Right?

I thought Poland was begging for money from elsewhere to fund the ongoing maintenance of Auschwitz?

Makes it even stranger that they can come up with the money to build giant tasteless statues, but not the money to preserve one of the most important sites for Poles.

You do insult religion but in a clever way

Remember, Christ's message isn't religion, and vice versa. As St Augustine said "There are many outside who seem to be inside and there are many inside who seem to be outside".

nstead of being pompous, you are snobbish, which doesn't bother me:)

People even say that in real life I sound a bit like Hyacinth Bucket!

BTW, I like your posts too ;-)

Now this is offensive.

What, you think that there's more need to build giant religious statues than to preserve an area where Polish people died at the hands of a foreign aggressor?

Thousands of Polish died there too. It is essential that we preserve that terrible place for the anti-Semitic God loving Christians like yourself so they don't go Nazi on people again.

Who is "shunning" Poland?

I guess, there is always a first time for everyting. I absolutely agree with you Delph.

Our Lord is there for them

... and he needs money!
