What is the tablet or book that represents liberty?
James 1:25
But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
Galatians 5:1
Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
Isaiah 62:1
For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth.
2Corinthians 3:17
Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
Well, it's not the bible. It's a tablet that reads "July 4, 1776".
Too bad, Rex. She's secular. Nothing to do with your god.
Rex - OMG, how dumb do you think we are. Insulting.
funny. It reads almost like the Leviathan.
the religion forum is just creepy now...
Soemthing for the creator of this stupid thread:
James 2:12: So speak and so act as those who are to be judged by the law of liberty.

Not creepy enough for my tastes. For me to get the full entertainment value out of my daily internet regiment, I need to be able to ingest at least twist as many obsurd ideas from crazed people. I'm beginning to develop a tolerance. The same amount of idiot doesn't excite me as it used to. I think that soon my tolerance will demand at least a second online forum to debate the issues of relgion.
I should just do drugs next time I sign up for an addiction.
Why put a book in her hand if it is not the Bible?
No one answered my question as to what other book ascribes to liberty other than the Bible?
Again allot of religious insult without NOTHING to back up the atheistic assertions.
Typical of people who do not know so they resort to childish name calling and insult.
Wasn't she a masonic symbol and isn't the masonic order rooted out of the Bible???
Also the star on her head?
She faces EAST... (Eastern Star)
Revelation 2:28
And I will give him the morning star.
Revelation 22:16
I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.
1Peter 5:4
And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.

Any idea in what direction France (Europe) is situated?
You even may guess twice ...

Also the toga and sandals was that typical French or American apparel of the day? Who else wore a white (green because of the oxidation) flowing robe and sandals?

Leaving aside the glaring, the slack-jawed yokel stupidity of such a question--it's not a book, it's a tablet, and it is inscribed "July 4, 1776."

Rex sinks to new depths of stupdity. I would estimate that at least a few tens of billions of women in human history have worn a white, flowing robe and sandals.
I had wild sex with a girl dressed as the statue of liberty at a halloween party one year....just on a related note... that green face paint smeared all over everything and gave my genitals a decidedly unhealthy hue for a couple of days...
Why put a book in her hand if it's not the bible? Surely you jest! Books are equated with knowledge and have been revered since their conception. Why must it be the bible? She represents our freedom and the way I see it, religion (especially yours, RexRed) doesn't have much to do with freedom.
Stars, torches, facing east - all these things are factors in many cultures that preceded or have never heard of christianity.
Walter if you open Google Earth and place the longitude and latitude grid on the map look at the longitude line from New York... She does not point to France but she overlooks the lower part of Spain. The longitude line does not even touch France. It goes through the lower part of Italy (not the city of Rome either) and directly through the center of the country of Greece where most of the Biblical new testament was written and addressed to "the Church"...

The Masons were Biblical people and so were the Americans of the day.. They did not ascribe to just "any book"...
Either you are really so stupid .... or additionally so uneducated.
Your navigational knowledge is more than poor as well.
"Je lutterai pour la liberté, j'en appellerai aux peuples libres. Je tâcherai de glorifier la république là-bas, en attendant que je la retrouve un jour chez nous" - The ´first known model was made 1870 in France by .... guess twice again .... where ... abit more difficulct, thus ... three guesses ...
what's the point of this thread in any case?
