Why, thank you!

One (I think) was of a man in uniform (SS?) hanging from a cross.

That would be this one here:

Hey Darth, is this a picture of J. Edgar Hoover?

A) Yes
B) No

Let's face it, it depicts a human being with two eyes, therefore it must be a picture of J. Edgar Hoover, right? Sort of like how zeezrom's last image was an image of Jesus?

What is your evidence for this assertion?

Oh for shame, how the mortals put the blame on us gods, for they say evils come from us, but it is they, rather, who by their own recklessness win sorrow beyond what is given... Zeus (1178 BC)

Yeah, it was all I could find.

So you consider an April Fool's joke to be "evidence?"

I guess I don't get your need for evidence, Shades. Why do you need it from me? We all know the Jesus icon has historically been male but don't you ever like to dream up stuff for the fun of exploring?

Why is it strange to you that a crown of thorns on a woman is not speaking of Jesus? Why can't Jesus be a woman to me when he is so many other things to other people? Some people look at Jesus as love. Some think of him as abstract. I'm enjoying imagining a different world. Why try to dismantle that?

You created the board, Shades. And thank you for that.

But sometimes you destroy the board.

Because you said, "There is a chance Jesus was a woman and was killed for being such." That's something I'd never heard, so I wanted to read more about it.

Why do you need it from me?

Because you're the one who said it.

You didn't say you were dreaming stuff up. You said there was "a chance." Had you said, "I like dreaming that Jesus was a woman," I wouldn't have needed to ask where you heard it.

Why try to dismantle that?

I'm not trying to dismantle anything. I merely assumed your words meant something.

My mistake.

You're welcome.

But sometimes you destroy the board.

How so?

This images of Jesus thing has gotten way out of hand, I don't even look at the pix. Do you think Mary suffered when her Son was crucified? Honor Mary: Honor the feminine in religion.

Problems with auto-correct:
In Helaman 6:39, we see the Badmintons, so similar to Skousenite Mormons, taking over the government and abusing the rights of many.
