Given this UI (in HTML), do I need to put texts beneath the large images, or is the small image displayed in the lists enough to make the connection?

I know quite a few posts with small mistakes involving less than 6 characters, but I can't correct them without some more changes in the post, because that "at least 6 characters changed" limit.
What to do with it? I can make some invisible changes in addition to the correction, but I'd be happy...
@TRiG gotcha. Honestly I'd be curious to know the answer. Obviously here their status won't change, but then we didn't give them special status to try to get anyone elected :P
@waxeagle Slacktivist (and the commenters) do write a lot about the intersection between religion and politics, which is something that does interest me (as you know).
I guess the argument for it is that WWII vets saw these sorts of displays in Europe and "copied" them. Someone should commission a fitting tribute to those men instead.

@JonEricson Yeah. And, from my reading of that article, nothing illegal was happening in the first place. The space in the park may have been used only by religious people, but it was available to everyone, and when he applied for space, he got it. (They actually got the majority of the space, because churches didn't bother to apply.)
@JonEricson Our school used to put up a Christmas tree, and the library a crib. (Such intrusions of religion in public life are perfectly legal in this country.) Both made me feel somewhat left out. I never missed Christmas itself: I didn't feel I missed anything as a child by not celebrating it. I just didn't like having it rubbed in that I was different.
@JonEricson Yup. And that means no Christmas. And, to be honest, I never missed it. Now, I still don't bother doing Christmas, because it has no meaning for me. (Actually, for various reasons, I've spent my last few Christmases alone.)
@TRiG So this month's blog topic will speak nothing to you, I suppose. Have you found other traditions? I think there's something healthy about regular observances even outside of the context of religion.
@JonEricson I remember reading somewhere (and I do wish I could remember where, because this resonates with me, and I'd like to be able to reference it properly) that Western culture has lost the concept of sacred time, but retains the concept of sacred place. Whether or not that's actually true of Western culture is a question beyond my pay grade, but it's certainly true of me.
Woodlands and mountaintops are my spaces.
I could do an empty winter's beech, too, but I rarely visit the sea these days.
My mother has suggested that I should do one of the long European pilgrims trails one day. The Santiago de Compostela.
@TRiG I want to do that one too. My wife took a Spanish class (history or literature, I can't recall) that focused on that tradition. We also watched a Martin Sheen film about it. (The film was a bit disjointed, but did a great job depicting the trail and the culture that forms on it.)
I see that our current day bibles only refer to God as LORD, can you explain to me what the different names of God are and what they mean?
Please give me one or two names and it explain them to the fullest that you can. Each answer a different set of names please.
The best explanation of the na...
God's name is written as the Tetragrammaton יהוה (YHWH) in the Old Testament. The name is not vocalized in the manuscripts and it's considered ineffable, forbidden to say aloud, by Jews. For that reason, the original pronunciation hasn't been preserved.
The two most commonly suggested possible ...
A prominent theological understanding in Christianity is that God the Son, the Second Person of the Trinity, is co-eternal with the Father and the Spirit. About 2,000 years ago, He entered into creation through a virgin birth and was given the name "Jesus" ("Yeshua" in Hebrew).
So, why did God ...
God / Jesus has many names which reveal something of His nature / character, e.g.:
Son of God (reveals His divine nature)
Son of Man (reveals His human nature)
etc.
But "The Word" is more puzzling to me. Why is Jesus called "The Word" and what does it reveal about Him?
In the beginning wa...
Catholics would know what I mean, if they pray the Divine Praises at Benediction: Blessed be God, blessed be His Holy Name, Blessed be Jesus Christ true God and true man, blessed be the Holy name of Jesus, etc....
