It seems pretty clear that the phallic symbol, or obelisk, is a pagan symbol of fertility. How did one, with her knowedge, end up on James' and her gravesite being that it is an idol that is condemed in scripture? <BR> <BR>"And I shall set fire to the temples of the gods of Egypt, and he will burn them and take them captive. So he will wrap himself with the land of Egypt as a shepherd wraps himself with his garment, and he will depart from there safely. He will also shatter the obelisks of Heliopolis, which is in the land of Egypt; and the temples of the gods of Egypt he will burn with fire."(NASB) Jeremiah 43:5-13 <BR> <BR>Check this site out. Click on the "three finger" link. The phallic symbols show up a bit into the series of images. <BR> <BR><a href="http://www.sdaapostasy.org/SB1.htm" target=_top>http://www.sdaapostasy.org/SB1.htm</a>

All faculty of an institution wear the regalia representing the scholl from which they graduated. This should be common knowledge, but evidently it is not so common.

Especially in India. I've not been there, but their temples, I've seen pictures, are decorated with all sorts of sexual congress. That's where the Kama Sutra originated. Maybe also the Song of Solomon was so explicit it bothered the early church and the Puritans. Why else was their such a fevor of castration among early Christians? <BR> <BR>Before the Hebrew culture and during their time, female goddesses were worshiped (as written in their history). Later, they were denigrated and all male gods became predominant, thus the phallic symbol, still displayed in old pictographs, sculptures and paintings. After all, didn't God give the command to be fruitful and multiply, necessitating this depiction?
