The hands and the orb are AMAZING, but the eyes are lifeless. I can’t understand why Da Vinci would leave the eyes like that, unless he was trying to make some kind of statement.

No, it is one of his most treasured investments. But then again, what do I know about these matters?

Next step: build a cathedral in Riyadh or at least allow Christianity to be practiced in that country. It is already practiced in Abu Dhabi, Bahrain, Iraq, Egypt, Syria and Iran.

No wonder he needed all the other princes money.

[PIF]

The Prince cannot trigger a reformation of Islam because that is not possible - Islam is NOT Christianity. Reformed Islam would not be Islam because they would have to remove over half of the suras and Mohammad, as well as all the hadiths and sunnahs; sort of like stripping the New Testament down to a few harmless, Christless phrases and calling it Christianity.

The half they would have to remove is the half that Mohammad claimed as the last words of allah. What would be left is the half that Mohammad claimed as irrelevant, in other words part he plagiarized from the Bible and the Torah.

Haven’t even mentioned that every on of the billon or so mussulman would be obligated to kill him ...

See the problem?

[Wuli]

So that’s why he demanded payoffs from those he jailed recently!

[ex91B10]

Nice to see him using all that shakedown money he recently appropriated to good use.

[beethovenfan]

Well, is he not a Muslim? The “Jesus” of Islam is not Jesus.

[beethovenfan]

Silly? NO. The “Jesus” of Islam is NOT the jesus of the Bible. In Islam, Jesus is inferior to Mohammed, and is a “slave of Allah”. The real Jesus is creator of the universe and has a name above every name.

[Balding_Eagle]

You seem to know more than I do what’s in his heart and soul than the rest of us.

I’m open to the possibility that he may be a Christian.

Apparently you’re not.

[Tea Party Terrorist]

That picture is strictly forbidden in any common area of Saudi Arabia.

Maybe this is a sign. Unless MBS puts the religious leader under his thumb, all is for naught.

[Tea Party Terrorist]

Jews don’t think Jesus was a prophet, but a rogue rabbi.

[ladyjane]

Wasn’t MBS in Las Vegas the night of the massacre?

[Tea Party Terrorist]

Doubt it? I doubt he leaves the Kingdom much.

I didn’t realize da Vinci was old enough to know what Jesus looked like.

[AdmSmith]

So that’s why he demanded payoffs from those he jailed recently!

LOL!

[left that other site]

Ha Ha Ha.

I’m not either, but judging from both the ethnic and cultural milieu at the time, plus the genealogies published in two of the four Gospels, I am pretty sure He DID NOT look ANYTHING like that painting.
