When she came up to present one of the awards, I immediately thought of you, and told my wife about your ... interest in Ms. Hayek. If she's not married, some kind soul in the Hollywood blogosphere needs to arrange an introduction for you.

She's single, and apparently enjoying it. So am I. And we have similar interests. But aside, if you pray to God, and an image of Salma Hayek appears, is it Salma, or Jesus Christ?

Salma is evidence of a loving Creator :). While she is in the image of God, she is not an image of God. If I prayed to God and received an image of Salma, I would wonder about the state of my soul. However, if I prayed for to see the most beautiful woman and an image of her appeared, I would trust that I had connected with the God who created the universe. :0

I think it depends on the consequence of such an image. The disciples did not recognize Jesus except when he declared peace. I think such an image could convey peace and admiration. What if an image of Mary appeared, and it was the face of Salma?
