Conservatives also saw God as more Caucasian and more powerful than liberals.” The study’s lead author, Joshua Conrad Jackson, remarked that the society individuals want to see in the world influences how we see the divine.

The Christian martyr’s name? Remarkably, Saint Corona. The cathedral had pulled a 216 lb embellished gold, bronze, and ivory shrine holding the relics from storage with the plans of flaunting it this summer, in an exhibition dedicated to gold craftsmanship.

But Constantinople was a long way from Italy, and Rome’s vast holdings fractured into a myriad of warring ‘barbarian’ tribes. Rome, for all its violence, had held the Western world together, and in their absence, everything went to shit. The Helgo Treasure: A Viking Age Buddha.
