Date: 2004-02-26 08:45 am (UTC)Talk about money changers.
I know I frequented them on a regular basis. I was expected to. And when I was trying to be a "good girl" it gave me things to stay focused on.
But I look back on it all with horror.
Jesus would really be throwing a major shit fit these days.

According to the Buffy:
Death is my gift.
To borrow from a sadly defunct web comic The Erotic Adventures of Buffy & Evil Vampire Willow, "I hope you kept the receipt."

Date: 2004-02-26 10:58 am (UTC)Yeah, I think the whole "Christian" tchotke (or however that's spelled!) industry is pretty much the modern equivalent of the temple moneychangers Jesus got medieval on.
But I don't think this stuff is particularly worse than the rest of that industry, and only slightly worse than all the marketing that went with other recent hit movies, like LOTR.
I mean, wearing a nail, wearing a cross -- not much difference, really. One is the instrument of torture and shameful death, one is what held the victim to it. Wearing a noose vs. wearing a gallows, basically.

I don't know exactly what Jesus would do, but Jesus would not open an on-line souvenir shop, I'm pretty sure of that.
