Yes, but it would be exclusive to one minor religion (Christianity is not the dominant religion on this planet). Images of Krishna and Buddha strengthen many people... but a "biblical" forum wouldn't be a proper home for them. There is a strong pagan community and I'm pretty sure that you wouldn't be the least bit comfortable with either the ancient Greek gods or the current Wiccan goddesses wedged in with Jesus and Mary and all the saints. Good religious imagery hasn't been limited to cathedral art: a neolithic structure at dawn or painted cave wall undoubtedly awed our forebears as much as the Sistine Chapel ceiling does now. Establishing a forum for biblical art alone, at the expense of the other religious traditions, is something that I can't countenance. It is discriminatory. Carolly
