That's hardly a factor. Look how many Roman and Greek statues there are of mythological figures or semi-legendary figures. Even the busts we have of Homer owe more to traditions about him than any reality. And his existence is open to question as well given the nature of the texts (recorded oral traditions) attributed to him. Statues of Jesus appear once he becomes important. That's what matters more than his reality or lack thereof.

But we have contemporary images from which to model statues. They existed, and we have ample evidence. We don't have that evidence for Jesus, so everyone depicts him as they want him to look.

Howzit that there are realistic statues and busks of Aristotle, Alexander the great and Julius Ceasar but not of a realistic Jesus?

Becauze it wazn't God'z will that there be such a statue of Jesus. The Lord came to be remembered for Hiz Word, cross and rezurrection. Not for what He exactly looked like

...We have also, right or wrongly, believed that maintaining Canadian voices in the media is important to counteract the very loud voices coming from South of us...

And I guess it'z this that I'm really questioning. I mean, if the Canadian stuff is good it should be strong enough to make it on itz own, without the government backing. I can recall working as a radio announcer and having to spin a certain amount of Can Con each shift. Some of it waz good, sure, but some waz being spun just to hit the percentage target

Well, which is it? Do we want "realistic" images of Jesus, or do we want Korean Jesus to look Korean and white Jesus to have blue eyes?

It's good for Christianz to have a Jezus with whom they can personally identify.That'z my take

Now they are non existent ... and echoes are still heard about them ... coming from know where? Thus no where formed up ... Noah? Someone declared no way ... and folk didn't know how ... are many de lighted and in the dark pulling strings?

Will J'Zus bouncing off stone cause reflection, or doth reflection cause an inner light as the comprehension sinks into the dark? Th process being only partly absorbed ... and some ad sorption ... like word ... a sector can only take so much and they create something with it ... some hard some fluid ... just how it goes ... I can't tell you as I don't know but there are some that try ... trying over and over ... until forming a hard line that maybe lionized ... el (the) On type about to come off the rails?

Thus the bust as they fly ... this is all in the head man ... projected ...

Because both are true and you just need to find an angle to attack Carney again.

Sure, they're a tax on Canadians. But we don't have a winning choice at the moment, so we choose not to lie down and capitulate. Which, I suspect, is what Poilievre would have done. Which would set us back for decades as we wouldn't get any concessions again for years as other administration's would not just hand back the ill gotten gains.
 
My thought is that tariffs make only sense where there are alternative Canadian products to return to, but not with products we exclusively get from the US. Of course, tariffs in general do make not much sense.
But I figure, that’s the reason Carney said he will retaliate dollar by dollar and not product by product.

Solution: don't buy anything ... escape with that lady in the dark robe ... the only way out of well dispersed corruption! Dissonant ...

However if the lights are out in GEO Ghia ... who'd see it ... self-destructive content!

His main concern now seems to be where to have his next selfie with Katy.:rolleyes: I am happy they've found each other but do we really need videos of them rocking out to his son's music while shopping?:giggle:

But yes. Say what you will about Mr. Carney but at least he comes across as taking things seriously and thoughtfully.

A piece, Luce, is temporary. Baked for our consumption. Ultimately simple!

God's the universe's Baker. So great in His grace that He sovereignly reaches into our brokenness to love us directly. God's a vast, deep ocean or an ancient mountain peak.

I love that your heart's seeking God's warmth and goodness. That ultimate comfort comes from knowing that the God who commands the stars's the same God who lovingly chose us

Remember ... that is out there ... beyond the mortal ... need I say more about limits of the peace? What si it like down here? Oh elle ...

So goes the thing chasing the lie as laid out in a plot to exterminate those who know anything more than censure ...

Your commentz remind me, Luce, of how our heartz are restless until they rest in God.

Beyond the mortal world'z limitz, there'z a peace given freely in Christ.

Even in liez' pie, there’z truth's whisper. The sweetness we crave pointz to a greater feast.

Grace's the antidote to hope'z extermination.

The Shepherd knowz Hiz sheep. His peace'z not bound by mortal limitz
