On the subject of the Cerne Abbas Giant there is speculation that it was originally some sort of pagan fertility symbol. There are instances of couples who have tried to start families visiting the site at night in order to conceive on the Giant in the belief that the Giant helps them to conceive. I personally don't believe that the Giant has any effect but that by believing in it the self-belief and confidence aids the fertility process. The Giant therefore is in effect a very pro-family icon and I don't see anything inconsistent with it being show on this site.

:Only provided that the couple are married at the time. In any case, such behaviour would be a clear violation of the First Commandment.
:Still, as God struck down the heathen creators of the Giant many centuries ago, it serves as a magnificent and enduring memorial to the fate that non-believers may expect; on this basis alone, it is a very good thing to have an article about. --[[User:Jeremiah4-22|Jeremiah4-22]] 16:37, 15 April 2007 (EDT)
