I am actually surprised that this isn't up already since this was the first thing that popped into my mind when the Challenge was announced. This is not the Crucifix I wanted to photograph for the Challenge, but we have to take what is given

Trav said: "But, honorable people can honorably disagree....and on this we disagree. " And that is one of the reasons I love this place. Traveller and I disagree but if met face to face we'd be the best of friends!

The duck is welcome back if you like, Trav. ~Lydia

Normally, out of general respect and because I am a conflict avoiding person...I would move this to pending with a smile and a laugh. But, honorable people can honorably disagree....and on this we disagree. The Buddha is an icon but offers nothing...in the transformative sense that Christianity does with salvation...the Bodhi may always be within an individual but I cannot see enlightenment as corresponding to Christian Heaven...though conceivably this argument could be made as to a heaven on this earth and within any given individual. The Buddha is not a Christ figure....and lacks the power, real or imagined, to grant salvation or heaven....Nirvana is of this flesh and of this life and merely represents having the requsite wisdom...to achieve Buddha-hood. Something impossible within Christianity. The Crucifix is a unique representation of...a service that this sacrifice provides. Or my thoughts for now on this. Traveller

Okay, I've bit my tongue long enough. And unlike the Aflac Duck I totally disagree with you on two counts. First, it is not a Trademark. It is not owned by any identifiable organization, company or person. It is an Icon and a very well recognized Icon at that. Is it the best known? There are more statues of Buddha in this world than anybody else. I submit that the image of Buddha is better know through out the world than this one. And Buddha is not a trademark either. He is an Icon. Since this is a Logo/Trademark challenge and not an Icon challenge I consider this to be totally off topic, a nice photograph but still off topic. I say bring back your duck and and send this to pending.

It's a good thing for you that I've already been worn out with arguments, Trav. I'm buying this. LOL! ~Lydia

Registered? Hummm? I wonder if it is? But as a trademark, it really is supreme...and a unique representation of the services offered, and by which means the services are to be taken and, which distinguishes it from any other means of similar services, (for salvation). "trade mark (represented by the symbol ™)[1] or mark is a distinctive sign or indicator of some kind which is used by an individual, business organization or other legal entity to identify uniquely the source of its products and/or services to consumers, and to distinguish its products or services from those of other entities." Yes I know that at some level this might be construed as an offensive intepretation but, it really is, in the spirit of the Challenge, the perfect Trademark....and I think functions as such. This way or the Highway is what is being said, isn't it? Traveller

Is this really a registered trademark, Trav? Sigh I'm a pretty big fan of Jesus... but I don't agree that this is a trademark. It can stay though. ~Lydia
