Oh David, that is priceless...does it glow in the dark? I wish my friend Michael were still around; he collected tacky religious "art" and I'd love to show him that one.

28986. David Ehrenstein - 1/26/2008 5:34:38 PM

No idea. Just found it on another site.

28987. Jenerator - 1/28/2008 3:55:15 AM

Tacky and offensive.

28988. judithathome - 1/28/2008 5:15:31 PM

I'm sure they meant well.

28989. judithathome - 1/28/2008 5:17:04 PM

Just like those people who make the really tatty little figurines with Jesus playing sports along with the little kids. Or wearing a chef's hat while watching over mom baking cookies.

I find the ones that glow in the dark comforting on dark nights.

... you mean "yours" glows in the dark?
Must be handy when you get up in the middle of the night...

28992. judithathome - 1/29/2008 5:26:13 PM

I find little night lights to be a big help in the dark, too...but they don't need to be shaped like Jesus.

When Regular Hate Is Not Enough

28994. wonkers2 - 2/10/2008 12:20:29 AM

I wonder why they picketed Huckabee? The article didn't explain.

You might like it better,Judith, if the switch had a more realistic shape!

28995. judithathome - 2/10/2008 12:30:28 AM

Ha!

I seriously think they believe no one else can reach their level of hate and that he just doesn't hate gays as much as they do.

"The test of a good religion is whether you can joke about it."
G.K. Chesterton

28997. concerned - 2/25/2008 9:03:53 AM

Are you trying to insult Islam?

28998. concerned - 2/25/2008 9:04:37 AM

How about a switch wallplate with Muhammad standing next to his child wife Ayesha?

28999. concerned - 2/25/2008 9:05:00 AM

That should leave 'em in the aisles in the Middle East.

29000. concerned - 2/25/2008 9:06:40 AM

Of course, your slam about religion and humor only applies to Christians. Left Wing Moral Equivalence asserts that all religions are equally valid, except for Christianity, which is less so, and subject to contempt.

Personally, I subscribe more to the idea that those who mock Christianity but not other religions are chickenshit bullies.

29001. winstonsmith - 2/25/2008 9:57:24 AM

You know, I try to spread my disdain for religion around to cover various sects, but, having been raised in a fundie Christian church, it is the one I am most familiar with.

Familiarity breeds contempt

29002. concerned - 2/25/2008 10:25:18 AM

I have to acknowledge that the wallplate is humorous to me personally, and I am an agnostic, but there are larger societal repercussions of the anti-Christian sentiment that exists in the world that concern me. Christianity is full of flaws and contradictions, but it's definitely not the most retrograde, nor the most proselytizing major religion in the world.

29003. judithathome - 2/25/2008 4:28:17 PM

But it IS the one that crosses MY path more...I don't have Bhuddists and Muslims coming to my door asking if I've found their god and asking me to pray with them and be saved.

Despite Jen's disbelief that this is a fact, I do have fundies doing that.
