A Camel Through A Needle's Eye

A Camel Through A Needle's Eye
Current mood: amused

Here's a press release from Franklin Graham, son of the Reverend Billy, regarding the memorial he will be building for his father. I swear I did not make this up.

"[V]isitors will pass through a 40-foot-high glass entry cut in the shape of a cross and be greeted by a mechanical talking cow. They will follow a path of straw through rooms full of multimedia exhibits. At the end of the tour, they will be pointed toward a stone walk, also in the shape of a cross, that leads to a garden where the bodies of Billy and Ruth Graham could lie. Throughout the tour, there will be several opportunities for people to put their names on a mailing list."

I'm sure that this is all part of "God's Plan." Because, you know, the bible's all about self-gratification and the accumulation of massive wealth. Not to mention that part in Leviticus about mechanical talking cows.

Jeez. Sure glad I'm not part of Corporate Christianity anymore. It sure is awfully funny to observe from the outside, though.
