Dear dragons, save us from the scary Jesus...

lady_tigerfish and I went out for a mall wander today. We weren't planning on it, but my brother had to go to the mall to report a problem with his video game, and we decided to head out with him.

We did a lot of the things we normally do. We visited the vintage clothes shop, smelled some of the things at the candle shop, tried on some beautiful chinese dresses at Dragon's Gate, and visited Nirvana. Now, Nirvana is known for its vaguely indian inspired clothes, its insense, and some of its interesting knick-knacks, many of which are asian-inspired. This time, there was something else. We saw something rather scary. Scary and tacky. A fiberoptic crucifix, with a light up cross that wouldn't be out of place in Vegas, and a fiberoptic crown of thorns. As one we turned our heads up to the dragons that were one shelf above, and said, "Dear dragons, save us from the scary, evil, bad Jesus." We figured that at that point, God would not object.

For some reason, that reminded me of something I say a lot:

"Jesus, save me from your followers!"

Just remember the Fiddler on the Roof prayer..."May the Lord bless and keep you! Far away from us."

lol. That saying works so well, especially for some of the bible-thumpers I know :)

I would have asked the Dragons to save me, too :)

It was necessary. Trust me, I'm understating the scarieness of this cross. Luckily, the dragons were properly dragon-like, and they chased the scary image from our brains.

Some crosses are just scary. Like the big flashing one in Jesus Christ Superstar...I think that one gave me nightmares. Yay for proper dragons chasing the scary images away! :)

Good gracious, that's awful! Reminds me of a glow-in-the-dark crucifix I saw once. Y'know how glow-in-the-dark things are green in the light? Yeah. Not cool.

Thank God for dragons.
