Don't Mess With Texas

Went to Six Flags yesterday. Guess who went with me? Every single Christian high school, school band and choir in the state of Texas. The kids are all very polite but they wear these horribly creepy t-shirts. Some of the shirts are close-ups of Jesus' face, distorted in pain or expressing sorrow at how miserable we are as human beings.

I just pushed the kids out my way as I raced to get in line for Superman: The Rollercoaster.

  • Right outside my office in Houston was this HUGE billboard with the scariest picture of Jesus. He had this crazy smile on his face and blood dripping from everywhere. The sign read "Who Loves You Man?" and it was for a Baptist youth group at one of the big churches in town.

    I don't regret moving from Texas one bit.

  • Out of curiousity - how does everyone know what Jesus looked like?

  • SquareSlant - I don't know about everybody else, but The Mormons taught me what Jesus looked like. You see, even though he was a middle-easterner, he had light-brown (almost blonde) hair, and blue eyes, just like we goodly Anglo-Saxons.

    The Mormons taught us lots of other things too... (I feel a blog post coming on...)

  • How funny. The Catholics taught me he looked the same. Maybe they were in cohoots with the Mormons. However, since The Catholic Church is the TRUE church, I'm sure the Mormons just copied us.
