Oh, don't make me cry now. Never seen Seinfeld. Have you heard of a show called the Simpsons, perhaps?
You kids of today (shaking fist wildly). LOL!!!

To be honest, I knew Seinfeld was a show (and the name of the main character in some form...never seen it though). I was just fooling around back in that one thread. I've seen the manbearpig episode but it's been a while so there was some wild guessing involved.

Can't help it....Cave of the Winds is also in a South Park episode. "Manbearpig! I am SERIAL!" HAAAAA!!!

highway that was something like 100 miles long. Got to see alot of land marks. The Devil's
Staircase, Garden of the Gods, up a mountain I don't remember the name of, an old fort and so on.
It was quite cool. We also went to the Cave of the Winds and some cliff dwellings. It was cool there
because we happened to be there at the same time as some Indians from Oklahoma who were
doing Native American dances. One was called the eagle dance. When the sun was right you could
see a silhouette of an eagle on the ground below them. I'll post a pic of that tomorrow if anyone's
interested. Peace.

I just meant that I have seen a lot of reproductions of Christ in my day, Some are absolutely hideous. Salvador (Saviour), Brazil comes easily to mind. Said statues SCARE more than inspire.
I have some great shots of the sand dunes that are to the north of that church. Ever been? I went with my little bro and mother. You would laugh. I pulled my shirt over my head and started head-over-heels down a steep dune. Man, did I pick up speed! HAAAAA!!! Ate quite a bit of sand when I tried to stop the roll, if I remember.

that short term memory loss thing going.(LOL) Thanks for the info though. One thing
I'm not understanding is, are you criticizing the artist or no? I thought he did
an outstanding job.

BTW. There are traditionally 14 (Byzantine even claim the 15th) "Stations of the Cross." Watch more South Park. HAAAA!!!!

I visited a church in Colorado that impressed me like that. It was on top of a hill. You climbed a path to get to it.
On the path were bronze statues at different points called the twelve stations of the cross. One of the more moving
things I've seen in my life. Surely not like what you described but moving none the less. This from a person who
hates religion. I'll look for pictures I have and post them. Take care.

Regardless of the fact that you don't like religion, you can not walk in to a "really nice church" with the statues and stained glass and all, and heaven forbid you step foot into the Cistine Chapel! You would be blown away and aweshocked. A really ornate church or ancient church for some reason just offers you peace when you gaze at the walls. I'm not talking about being there during service, just going in there when it is just you and this big empty place of beauty and grace.
To sit alone in a grand or ancient church just puts you at ease. I've seen long abandoned Churches and have walked the building, (and gone places a lady should not be allowed) its facinating. To be told by someone your not allowed in the area you are standing is even funnier.
There is an island off the coast of Greece that Only men are allowed to go. It is said that Mary, Jesus's mother, was given Domain over this island because it was so beautiful. Only men can tour it (they even have passports issued for the island), there is still a monistery there, but only one woman stepped foot on it, and she was ordered back off by a vision of Mary. Believe it or not !

I live across the street from a church,(fancy that). As much as I hate religion there's
just something cool about those bells going off everyday. Their ringing right now. Here's
the part I don't get. They are a bit of a depressing sound but I'm moved by them.
Any shrinks in the house have an opinion on this. |
