Yet by including pictures it does indeed serve to highlight the lack of picture, the difference in treatment if you will serves to isolate where that is unnecessary.

Jesus: Hippie Communist Rabbi
Krishna: He's blue. End of story.
Muhammad: If I can't see him, how could I vote for him?
Buddha: He's fat.
Elvis: He's Elvis! Friggin' Elvis, guys!

I think the choice is clear.

I didn't come and tell you nothing, I find the pictures to be inappropriate in the thread and quite rude.

What's wrong with just mentioning the names?

And it's through the pictures and statues that Christianity is becoming pagan/polytheistic in nature. How can you believe that Jesus peace be upon him looked like that, when you nor I never saw him?

Seeing as the definition of Pagan originalli was "Non-Christian" it is impossible for the Church to become

No one in Christianity, I repeat, No saint, not even the virgin Mary, are made to be gods. We venerate Saints with dulia the Virgin with hyperdulia and We worship the Trinity with latira. The fact that these words are all "worship" in English, means nothing as in England judges used to be called "your worship"

God even commands the use of statues in worship;
"And you shall make two cherubim of gold [i.e., two gold statues of angels]; of hammered work shall you make them, on the two ends of the mercy seat. Make one cherub on the one end, and one cherub on the other end; of one piece of the mercy seat shall you make the cherubim on its two ends. The cherubim shall spread out their wings above, overshadowing the mercy seat with their wings, their faces one to another; toward the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubim be" (Ex. 25:18–20)

So why don't Muslims use statues is a better question?

I laughed, but then i saw you were serious. :facepalm:

The Romans Catholics in the time of 400/900 did worship Marry(p) as the mother of god and some still do hence Jesus(p) the son of god is also worshipped.

The Exodus verse was talking about a offering not a worship read verse 17 “Make an atonement cover of pure gold—two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide. Also it was only for that period of time read the whole chapter starting from verse one.

Your clearly didn't read the ten commandments worshipping Idols/Statues or images are strictly forbidden i can qoute over 5 verses out of my head and if i used the bible i can come up with over 15 of them.


Back to the topic:

I think people should first know the person before they can vote this isn't the America president allegation.

Did you vote already?

In any case, I do not think you should know each of the personalities before voting. For instance, a Buddhist in Myanmar posting on RF instinctively knows that Buddha is his preferred personality amongst the list. He does not need to know anything about what happened in the Middle East in the 7th/8th century to be able to vote in this poll. :)

Why would you need to post images?

I find that quite rude personally. I think you are trying to send a message across by the fact that there are no images of Muhammed peace be upon him.

I find the image of Jesus peace be upon him quite offensive too.

Believe me, I have far more invested in Jesus than you do. I see nothing disrespectful with the pic. In fact, I appreciate that he looks "Jewish" as opposed to having blond hair and blue eyes
