Jesus rode on dinosaurs?

That's the famous Christ Pantocrator from Sinai. It's astonishing that it was done around 600 AD, since the modeling and realism of the face looks like a much later style (in fact for a long time it was thought to be from the 13th c.) [/art historian mode]

The moral of the story is not to listen to those who tell you not to play the violin but stick to the tambourine.

Would Jesus ride a dinosaur?

Postby Rosie Cotton » June 21st, 2008, 5:26 am

I would if I was Him!!! What a way to enjoy your creation! :lol:
... and their joy was like swords, and they passed in thought out to regions where pain and delight flow together and tears are the very wine of blessedness.

…on a night of rain Frodo smelled a sweet fragrance on the air and heard the sound of singing that came over the water. And then it seemed to him that as in his dream in the house of Bombadil, the grey rain-curtain turned all to silver glass and was rolled back, and he beheld white shores and beyond them a fair green country under a swift sunrise.

It's not just the dinosaur-riding that's disturbing ... that Jesus looks a lot like the Dude

No - I mean that the Jesus of the cartoon has an uncanny likeness to "the Dude" aka The Big Lebowski, of the eponymous Coen brothers film.

"The Dude abides. I don't know about you but I take comfort in that. It's good knowin' he's out there. The Dude. Takin' 'er easy for all us sinners. Shoosh. I sure hope he makes the finals. "
Rat! he found breath to whisper, shaking. Are you afraid?
Afraid? murmured the Rat, his eyes shining with unutterable love.
Afraid! Of Him? O, never, never! And yet -- and yet -- O, Mole, I am afraid!
Then the two animals, crouching to the earth, bowed their heads and did worship.
