But, apart from a brief mention of a temple event when He was 12, we have no information about Jesus from quite soon after His birth up until He was about 30, that's a lot of lost years. He could have been doing anything, including learning the black arts in Egypt.Brian.

I think this reeks of the good old marketing ploy of exploiting gullible Christians.I am not saying she isnt a talented artist, in fact I find it tremendous. But, add that little bit of a Christian flavour and the bucks will be garaunteed to roll in.I think it would be quite easy for me personally to denounce my atheism, and claim that I have seen the light, write a wee book or two 'proving' most of the early books of the Bible (I mean no inerrantist actually investigates pro biblical claims do they?), move to the USA (south of course), and market the books from there, piece of cake.If only my atheist morals didn't get in the way. Brian.AbE Jesus, have you seen the price of the orignal works? 50,000 to 1 million bucks!!Praise the Lord I have seen the light, thank you Jesus for shedding your blood for me. Edited by Brian, : noticed the prices

Do you believe everything you read?Brian.

Probably too many to go into here, but here's three for starters.1. She visited a make believe land.2. Her pictures of Christ are classic stereotypical western iconographic tat.3. She lives in America, if anyone is going to swallow religious claptrap it would be American Christians (not all).The pictures of Christ are no different than many images she would have seen on xmas cards or store displays.I am sure if it was a Muslim girl you would be delighted that she had visited heaven and then painted some exquisite pictures of Muhammad. But that would probably have been demons influencing her wouldn't it.I have no reason to believe that the child visited a place that we have no evidence of its existence.When I was small I used to frequently go into my attic and shout on King Kong to come and take me to Dracula's Castle, where I played games with Frankenstein's monster, Dracula, the werewolf and the mummy (who was particularly crap at playing tig). (This is true and I remember the experiences very vividly)Does this mean I really went there, or was it my imagination?Brian.Edited by Brian, : changed a 'two' to a 'three'
