Much guessing needed. It also has multiple solutions.

I'm really disappointed in seeing such ideological content being freely exploited on WebPBN. To anyone that have studied the history of Western World and its religions, the cross is source only of death, suffering and prejudices. It's still a prejudice in 21st Century world, where we were supposed to act only through the guiding of reason. It's sad to see how people still listen to such a primitive feeling like the act of idolize and worship, that only makes sense on folks that amaze themselves with thunder and storm, or the prejudices contained on a book written centuries ago and whose historical evidence prove it was made more than a century after the events it tells, i.e., it wasn't made by any kind of apostle.

What a crap puzzle.

I pray that God is working with you.

Yes the cross is a source of death and suffereing. But that is what made what happened on it so great.

I know this argument could go on and on, but that is not what I want to have happen here. My faith comes from what I believe happened on a cross. Yours does not. So be it.

Concerning what sohuld be 'freely exploited' on WebPBN...This is a place to display art is it not? And doesn't true art come from within, come from the person? So if this is what comes from Annie, let it shine. If it is in a simple candy cane from Lilly, let it shine.

If it so deeply offends you, another thing I don't understand but that's a different kettle of fish, don't do their puzzles anymore. Easy as that. Oh yeah, and don't interact with anyone because they may just as easily offend you, too.

I need to go crawl in my cave now. It looks like the clouds are darkening and there may be some loud unexplained noises coming.

I apologize for going on like I did. I don't mean to be mean if that's how it came across.

I'm an atheist and no fan of organized religion, but I enjoyed solving this puzzle (I believe it solves with careful color logic, but I could be wrong). I also like singing Christmas carols. Go figure.

What I REALLY hate is seeing the ideological content of the heart or happy face on WEBpbn. Feh, love and happiness.

I don't care for religious themes in any context, except possibly for how it influences history (too often as an excuse to do bad things to non-believers). I am sure that faith is a comfort to many, but I frequently get the feeling that people follow blindly, and pray for things instead of taking action to help themselves. We can all treat each other nicely without a book telling us. Okay, I'll relinquish the soap box to someone else now.

Careful color logic does get most of this one solved except for a small section of blue in rows 11-15 and columns 3-6.

I used edge logic with the 2 clue in column 6. If it is placed at R11C6-R12C6, then R11C5 and R12C5 would be dots making column 5 invalid. So R11C6 is a dot. Some line logic.

Next if the 2 clue in column 6 was at R12C6-R13C6, then the rest of rows 12 and 13 would be dots. This would force both R15C3 and R15C5 to be blue which makes row 15 invalid. So R12C6 is also a dot.

The rest was line logic.

Found to be logically solvable by gator.
