LOL DA, now that made laugh out loud !!!

Xiahou, we're going to have to agree to disagree. If following the teachings of Jesus does not make one a Christian, and one must subscribe to the entire Nicean creed to be in the club, then most of our founding fathers were not Christian by your lights. Very sorry I don't believe in the literal divinity of Jesus. Remember that christos literally means anointed, not "physical embodiment of divinity."

I still don't see why poking fun at gaudy, tasteless attempts to capitalize on Christianity is offensive to you.

Yeah, the literal translation of christ is "annointed one", but in terms of the Christian faith it refers to the biblical Jesus Christ, which in addition to being our source for almost everything we know of Jesus' teachings- also speaks of his divinity and resurrection. You do have a point about our founding fathers- many, iirc, would be considered Unitarians which, technically, are not Christians and most modern Unitarians don't consider themselves Christians as far as I can tell. However, Unitarians did and generally do have a strong reverance for our Judeo-Christian tradition.

*Somewhat tangentially, Im puzzled by how Unitarians can subscribe to the teachings and moral authority of Jesus (which we get from the Bible), while apparently dismissing the clear references to Jesus as the Son of God- His own statements, as well as his resurrection. But maybe that's a discussion for another time.

I never said I found it offensive. I said they look silly- like something Ned Flanders would buy his kids, but said (later) if someone bought them and their kids wanted to wear them, I could care less. I wasnt upset by the thread topic, I just commented that I didnt really think it fair to say "Im a Christian too" as a defense, when (at the very least) your beliefs are outside what's generally considered Christianity.

Sorry to crap all over a fun thread with "serious" talk, but I did have a point I wanted to highlight.

Sorry about the size... apparently people weren't too fond of photographing Jimmy after he got all chubby.

Bleh. The attentive may recall that I may be an atheist, but I am a catholic atheist, and when it comes to kitch all you protestant hell-bound can just get your tanks off the pope's lawn. Nobody does it better than us, I mean them.

Enjoy http://www.catholicshopper.com/ my friends.

Its hard, very, very hard, to know exactly what in this cornucopia of catholic products to draw your attention to ( although the Catholic Challenge Catechism Game For PC/Mac has just displaced Medieval2 Total War from the top of my Amazon wish list). I think I will settle for the world famous sporting Jesus statues, (Golfing Jesus. I say no more.) http://www.catholicshopper.com/produ..._statues2.html

(I would just like to add that I don't see why bad taste becomes not funny when its christian.)

Those statues are just plain spooky. No wonder priests end up in trouble.
