Post Date: 12/15/08 10:38 am Godawful Nativity Scenes Of The DayThere's a line in the great Woody Allen movie, Hannah And Her Sisters, where a character says, "If Jesus came back today, he'd never stop throwing up." Why? Because of crap like this. |

I know you are just sharing and that these aren't your own pieces of work so I'm not upset at you. You are still someone I hope to meet one day soon.

if god create something as awkward as the camel and giraffes, then i am sure he finds some humor in these.
i did.
i would be mad because the manufactors are making a mockery of this and selling this to the jesus followers?
who else would but them?
Kim,
I think I see your point. Religion, esp. Christianity, has also fallen victim to commercialization?
I have a problem with the chocolate crosses that Walmart sell for Easter Baskets. I want to give my kids a chocolate cross to eat about as much as I would give them a chocolate gun or electric chair to eat.
In our household, the creche' deserves more respect than being chickens, ducks, or edible cookies.
Did I get it?
Nanci
ps: Washington, D.C. will NOT have a Nativity Scene this year. You know why? They cannot find three WISE men or a virgin in the city. 
Someone at church told me that one.

by george, i think you got it.i guarantee you will never find a chocolate muslim item around. that crap will get you beheaded in some countries. usa is a christian country? i guess that means we can profit from the birth and death of the leader of christianity.
it really makes the entire concept a turn off for people like me.
ps-i bet washington d.c. will have a cruxifix display in the spring. there are plenty of folks who would get on the cross for the sake of a vote.
I did see a funeral home in North Carolina once that had a nativity set up in front - the usual characters one expects - plus - chickens, ducks, flamingos, rabbits, frogs, and every other type of yard art you can imagine. It covered the entire front of the funeral home!
