Geezer Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 I can't pull up the link, but is this story about the dingbat that has raised millions of dollars so his group can put up crosses all over the country? What a ignorant waste of money, and what is it that he expects to accomplish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwc Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 ^No. It's about a 19 story cross in Corpus Christi. However, your questions about the wasting of money and what they hope to accomplish still apply. mwc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Apropos of nothing much: After Hitler shot himself, by some admin error he ended up standing outside the Pearly Gates for a while. Jebus came down and they had a bit of a yarn, then Jebus says, "I guess I'll have to ask the Old Man about that." Jebus: "Hey, can I let Hitler in? He says he'll give me his Iron Cross if I do." God: "Oh Myself NO! Remember what happened when you tried out that fuckin' WOODEN cross!" OK, I know I'm going to Hell. Casey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blood Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 This is apparently a new trend among the fundies: who can build a bigger cross. Some fundy lunatic here in Houston had a huge one built on his church grounds a few years ago. Now this nutcase comes along with a 19-story one in Corpus Christi. No doubt some fellow idiot in Dallas will now need to out-do him with a 30-story cross. barf again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

traveller2 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 ridiculous! Personally i was never impressed by churches that insisted on having some horrendous eight foot cross stuck somewhere in their sanctuary to 'remind them of the sacrifice of jesus' . Big statues cost alot but so they could argue its no different morally from any other art project however crosses are so bloody ugly and cliched.No one stares at them in wonder of the sacrifice of jesus.The statue of jesus in rio is way more inspiring and can be appreciated by people of no faith on its artistic merits and location.Imagine swapping that out for a 19 storey cross lol.

TheLyniezian Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Matthew 25:35 Modern Murican Version "I was hungry, thirsty, sick and in prison so you ignored me and built a 210 foot cross" Seriously, that just about sums up the whole of my feelings on the subject.

Guest Furball Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Well, billions of prayers to god aren't getting his attention, so maybe this giant piece of wood will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
