 Christianity Encyclopedia Article @ CreatedByGod.com (Created by God)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
Virtually all Christian traditions affirm that Christian practice should include acts of personal piety such as prayer, Bible reading, and attempting to live a moral lifestyle.
This lifestyle includes not only obedience to the Ten Commandments, as interpreted by Christ (as in the Sermon on the Mount), but also love for one's neighbour in both attitude and action — whether friend or enemy, Christian or non-Christian.
This love is commanded by Christ and, according to him, is next only in importance to love toward God; it includes obedience to such injunctions as "feed the hungry" and "shelter the homeless", both informally and formally.

 Travel to Corcovado Mountain in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
Sitting atop the Corcovado Mountain, the 100-foot Cristo Redentor statue overlooks Rio de Janeiro with outstretched arms.
The statue was originally a monument to celebrate Brazil’s 100 years of independence from Portugal but was unfinished in time for the 1922 ceremony.
Once complete in 1931 it was placed in the Parque Nacional da Tijuca atop Corcovado with a lush forest marking the trip up to the statue.

 Cachet Travel - Hotel Everest Park, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
Rio's iconic status is largely due to the city's stupendous setting on Guanabara Bay, surrounded by the mountains and the ocean, fringed by some of South America's most magnificent beaches and dotted with internationally recognised landmarks such as Sugar Loaf Mountain and the awe-inspiring Statue of Christ the Redeemer perched atop Mount Corcovado.
The staggering variety of vegetation and birdlife owe their existence to a forward thinking reforestation project initiated in the 1870s, when it was realised that the land clearance instigated to create coffee plantations was in fact jeopardising the city's water supply.
Naturally, the powerful Statue of Christ the Redeemer - initially built to disguise an early radio mast - on Mount Corcovado and the summit of Sugar Loaf Mountain attract huge numbers of visitors but the views of both the city and the vast sweep of Guanabara Bay really do justify the pilgrimages.

 Prologue - Chapter 1
If you’ve ever toured Eureka Springs, Arkansas, you have seen the statue “Christ of the Ozarks” which is an exact replica of the tall statue of “Christ the Redeemer” on Mount Corcovado in Rio de Janeiro: the outstretched arms of these two cross-like statues precisely mimic the Thunderbird/Winged Disk motif.
Such identical symbols could not have just spontaneously originated in so many different cultures and languages.
Then we find “Mount Olympus” in Greece, “Mount Zion” in Israel and “Mount Meru” in India.
