I know America likes to do things bigger, brasher and better than the rest of the world... but I think we've found a line now...!

Tacky and trashy. There's tasteful admiration/veneration and then kitschy trash like this. I hate crap like this. It ranks up there with people that attempt to 'cash-in' on holy sites like Fatima, Lourdes, etc. "A special vile of holy water blessed in the water of Lourdes with healing properties! For only $9.99!". There's a special place in Hell for people who cheapen sacred places for their own profit and gain relying on the suffering of people. Christ threw the money-changers out of the Temple for a reason. j.p. It would seem that hypocracy is timeless. But what's worse? The people who charge or the people who fork it over like idiots?

I was visiting my Grandparents yesterday (as it was Fathers' Day) and noticed my Grandmother has a book called "How To Avoid Going To Hell". That shit made me laugh pretty damn hard. Silly Christians.

my Grandmother has a book called "How To Avoid Going To Hell". Just don't take that left turn at Albequerque. Job done.

Silly Christians. It's funny how old people get scared when they know they're nearing the end of their lives. They think about all the sins they've committed and suddenly want to make up "points". You think they spoil grandchildren for their health?

Silly Christians. As opposed to silly Atheists or silly people from other walks of life? We're all human and guess what? None of us have it completely figured out. Some people prefer to live by faith than none, I think it's more admirable than foolish myself -- but it's all a matter of opinion. j.p.

How to avoid going to hell. Easy, don't sin. You don't need a book. However, since all of us have sinned and therefore fall short of the glory of god, we're all fucked anyway. I'm sure the mythology goes something like that.

You don't need a book. However, since all of us have sinned and therefore fall short of the glory of god, we're all fucked anyway. If the Bible ever needed a summary for the back cover - This is it.

It would seem that hypocracy is timeless. But what's worse? The people who charge or the people who fork it over like idiots? I'd say maliciously manipulating people is always worse than people being ignorant (even of their own devices choosing to be ignorant). That's not to say that ignorance isn't harmful (it certainly is) or shameful in cases where people choose ignorance instead of educating themselves. j.p.

Again, it's hard to disagree with anything you said there. Me thinks I'm going to have to start just disagreeing with you, even if I do, just to maintain my street cred with the left.
