Restoration Drama In my opinion the restoration of the "Last Supper" by Leonardo De Vinci was necessary to salvage at least part of Leonardo's original work. I have always appreciated the character that years of patina add to furniture and probably would have appreciated the same in the "Last Supper".

Keeping in mind that Barcilon did uncover some of Leonardo's original work was worth the restorati...

Evils of Christianity It has been my experience, through my upbringing as a Christian, that Christians are often blind to the evils of the religion. They are taught from a young age that God is almighty, and should never be questioned, so the less-finer points in the religion are often skipped over. Many problems in society have arisen from this religion, which include discrimination, anti-Semitism, sexism, violence and war. Christianity has fought over hundreds of years to become the only religion, scaring people away from other religions in the process. Christians continuously fight among th...
