Please note this is not an original idea. It comes from Bill Hicks...possibly one of the most genius comics to ever have lived. For those of you who like to deprive yourselves of all things awesome and have never heard him, you suck. Go listen. Now. So anyway...onto his thought that I'm modifying.

Why do christians wear crosses and crucifixes around their necks? Do you think that if they're right and jesus does return to earth he's EVER going to want to see another fucking cross? I think if anything that would piss him off (and he can get pissed...he fucked up that temple pretty good after all of those vendors were there). Imagine, if you will, that Jackie Kennedy was still alive. Would you walk up to her with a rifle pendant on and say "just thinkin' of John, Jackie...just thinkin' of John"? Well...I probably would just because I'm an ass, but most people wouldn't. I think anyone wearing a cross should take it off...and possibly be ashamed of themselves.

An interesting post script to this...there's a movie coming out called "The Beast" which is set for release June 6th, 2006 (06-06-06) that argues the theory that jesus never existed. I will be first in line for a ticket to this film. It's based around the findings which are gaining acceptance among scholars that many of the writings about jesus, most of which were written at least 60 or so years after his supposed death, were never meant to be taken as a biography. Another conspiracy theory for the books!
