burning cross in your front yard, anyone?
this is weird, but for a suggested $81 donation, you can have a "holiday cross" for your yard or porch.
tell me this wouldn't look like a burning cross from a distance.....

2. Generally the idea of a burning cross is to give it to someone else.

And don't forget the Immaculate Eggs!

4. Let Your "Light" Shine For Christ This Christmas Season!
Looking for an effective way to express your Christian faith this Christmas season to honor our Lord Jesus?
Now you can.... with the "Original Christmas Cross" yard decoration.

"I don't care if it rains or freezes, long as I got my plastic Jesus got nailed to this and bled to death lawn ornament on my front lawn"

I repeat.

There is no insanity, like Religious insanity.

5. I feel dirty
I wish I had known ahead of time where that linky was going.

I need to find a picture of a unicorn to cleanse my eyes for they burn.

6. Can anybody explain to me how an instrument of torture came to be a revered holy symbol?
I guess I just don't fucking get it.

11. and as Bolo mentioned above...
the cross is usually the symbol for easter, Christmas is to celebrate the BIRTH of Christ..
this "decoration" is just wrong on so many levels.

hope none of them show up in my neighborhood!!!!!!!

21. Just call 911
Hysterically tell them it looks like your "poor" neighbor has been visited by the Klan. When the cops get there, imagine the fun that will ensue!

If they ask you about it, just say you're late for your routine eye exam, and apologize profusely for troubling them...you were just trying to be a good neighbor.

Then close the door and snicker a lot, as you think about how you freaked out your neighbors. :)

17. I'm fairly confident it originated within the Catholic Church but I've never heard a reason
WHY it was adopted as a holy symbol. In any case, doesn't it violate the 2nd Commandment?

10. If they were life sized I would be more concerned....

but as small as they are, I think there will be plenty

of "honest" God fearing Christains to put them up....

That shit will fly off the shelves down here in Texas....

They will be sold out in a week. Garden Ridge special...!

18. Nothing says "KKK" better than a burning cross. Unless it says "AFA".
Fucking Nazis.
