Oh, that's a shame. 
Might you still have the original artwork somewhere?
Yes! I'm quite certain it's in a notebook, in a box, in my closet somehwere
You don't have to answer this if you don't want to, but I'm just curious since this is the field I plan to REALLY major in and study. 
What's your opinion on religion as a whole? Or I guess to explain it a bit more, do you think religion is essential to human beings? Or is it something that you think doesn't necessarily needs to be around in life? It's just a security thing for human beings?
Wow! Now there's an essay question. I'd be happy to answer to the best of my abilities
Well, I don't think religion is essential to societal or individual function, in and of itself. I actually haven't looked into the history of religion at all, so I'm not sure of the extent of current knowledge on the subject. I'll have to fix that- it's fascinating stuff
To make an (un)educated guess, I'd say It's quite possible that it evolved partly as an aid to our species' developing analytical perception, and partly to add an element of stability to ever expanding social groups. Personally, I do believe that there is an invisible, ethereal element to life that we cannot percieve in our current state, but that's a rather broad statement. I think I'd call myself an Atheist simply because the description 'God' or 'diety' does not even approach accuracy as related to the vague, abstract concepts bouncing around in my brain
I suppose in short, I think it is essential to have a reference point for a personal understanding of existence. Religion suits this role beautifully, but it isn't the only thing that does.
And, apart from that... I'm really not sure :blink: I'll have to do some thinking on it and get back to you!
I would like to mention that I have the deepest respect for all faiths and the people who share them, though. It can truly be a beautiful thing
