Um … seriously?


It’s the newest must-have for this year’s War on Christmas festivities from the not-so-subtle god-bothering geniuses at the American Family Association, boys and girls.


As God is my witness, I have no idea where to go with this.

Oh-so-delicious pic shamelessly stolen from John Cole at Balloon Juice.

*Sigh*. A burning cross. How grotesquely self-unaware.

CC, you are so anti-religious you are blind to the realities of this market. There are limits to how much you can make selling an intangible product. You have to look at the intangible product as a "loss leader." The best you're going to do selling salvation is make your expenses. You make your money selling supplemental — tangible — products. Jesus said not to criticize people unless you walk in their moccasins.

This is a little off-thread, but not really by that much:

Hmmm ... I'm getting a definite MASSIVE POLL vibe after following Chris's link. This is the Martilla Communications Group web site. Rather barren, oui?

Maybe it's just me but I would think a "communications group" specializing in business consulting services would have a slightly better web presence. I don't think it's just me.

Caption contest, I think. :)

"In a startling lack of forethought, the Christians thought that combining a burning bush and a cross was a good idea"

I admit, my first thought was not a burning cross ala the Klan, but hooboy, war of the light-em-up holiday lawn ornaments, because having visited Crappy Tire, there are a gazillion 'xmas' motifs out there now. My second thought was, err..isn't a cross from the other end of the story, or are the Christianistos saving money by merging celebrations with Easter? Talk about replacing the reason for their season with the iconography.

Personally, I'd like a cheap 'no skills' plan on how to make a big peace sign to stick out in our weather for Solstice. I don't suppose anyone knows of any websites?
