Bible Lands Museum

A powerpoint presentation on burn out tells me 3/4 of ministers in the US report severe stress, 1500 pastors leave the ministry each month due to moral failure, spiritual burn out or contention within their churches. 70% of pastors constantly fight depression. Top of the advice is Exercise.

So I went for an hour's walk to this musem. Here I found a new form of Virtual Worship. First make your god out of clay and put it in a temple. Then make yourself out of clay and pop him in too. Saves a huge amount of time. There's an 8ft version, this one's not a foot high.

I love the eyes. Try looking that keen next time you go to church, see how long you can hold it for. It'll really unnerve the minister!

There's a couple of Christian tombstones (356ad) that both end with the phrase "Be of good cheer, no one is immortal". Its a cheesy catchphrase, you might think something a little more faith-full would suit better.
