compensating for something?

... i get the feeling jebus isn't happy with his manhood because this is ridiculous.  look at other objects in the photos and you can get a feel for the size of this thing.

This cross is in Edmond Oklahoma:

There was actually a lot of controversy over the decision to build this monster.  The church really wanted a large cross but the public and city officials did not want an eye sore.  Obviously, the church won the zoning battle.


This cross was claimed (by those running the place) to be the largest in the wester hemisphere:

This pic was taken because when driving to Colorado we just had to stop to take a picture...i think it might be somewhere in the Texas panhandle.  That's me at the lower left.  The picture is about 8 years old.

Except in giant phallic symbols that can be seen from outer space...

That and murdering people,destorying temples and torturing those who don't believe in their Christian god.

Kinda reminds me of Big Butter Jesus.

Is that some overly rich zealot's grave or something? Couldn't quite afford the Statue of Liberty as a grave stone so settled for the next best thing?

We made the trek up to Kansas (former home-sweet-home and where most of our relatives still live) via I-35 this past month from Austin.  The huge cross in Edmond was only one of the lovely religious propaganda pieces we encountered.  My personal favorite was a billboard of a disgruntled youth pointing a gun at passers-by.  The caption: "If he doesn't believe in God, shouldn't you?" (or something of siimilar sentiment).  Yes, we Atheists are all hormonal goths devoid of ethics.  Ug.

The question is valid enough though. If a messed up kid with a gun knows better than to believe in a god, why should any one?

(Asmodean fades to black smug at yet again having successfully read a piece of theist propaganda in such a way as to make it atheist propaganda in stead   )

Tour guide, 2200 AD: "And to the right side of the bus, folks, we see an example of late 20th century idolatry known as a 'cross,' symbolizing the death of a lesser cult leader resulting in a popular Wester folk religion. Approaching to our left, the International House of Pancakes."

Maybe it will be struck by lightening and burn to the ground. You know, god's will or something like that.

Christian: "This is a loving and tolerant faith, as our God is a loving and graceful God."

I was waiting for that song to show up here... I heard only last week on the way to school on the radio.
