Is This A Spoof From ONION? Please Tell Me It Is. Please!
.

Life comes at you hard. I know. But really? Am I so out of touch with reality, that I cannot see how any organization would not see this as 'being out there??"

This has to be a spoof? Right??

2. Why would it be?
The Cross is the symbol of Christianity. Christmas is a Christian holiday. What's so surprising?

3. Personally...
I am waiting for the version that hooks up to the Natural Gas service.

5. Wow. That's downright creepy
And you don't "buy" it, you send a "suggested donation." I know of some Onion-like publications, I think I will point this out to them.

6. Yeah, lighting up crosses is a popular X-mas decoration here in TN.
I first was shocked by it, but now I've gotten use to it.

It does sometimes remind me of the burning crosses the KKK likes to intimidate people with. Imagine that, Christianity used to intimidate and murder people.

Who would Jesus kill?

7. So simple.
I wish I'd have thought of this. Guaranteed, this sells big. The fundies are a prime market to be exploited.

9. It is to be expected from a group lead by the Rev. Donald Wildmon
who once claimed that Mighty Mouse was sniffing cocaine from a flower in a cartoon. He is a major hater of LGBT.
This website will give you a goooood look at all his hateful "projects." http://www.mediacoalition.org/reports/wildmon.html

10. No.
It's the crassest of commercialism.

12. That is in extremely poor taste.
I'm guessing it is not a spoof? I don't know. That's just weird, in a bad way, though.

13. They have quite the interesting video section too.
Edited on Mon Nov-17-08 08:26 AM by shadowknows69
including a doc. of Stonewall Jackson, and in the trailer it calls him a "champion of enslaved men and women" and calls the Civil War "The Great War"

14. This is really ridicules. The Cross is for Easter. It signifies the
Crucifixion of Christ. This is backward. You have to be born before you die not die before you are born.

15. I have heard one Christian say "If there were no Easter, there would be no Christmas."
She wasn't a nutball. I understood the point she was trying to make...
