Strangest Christian Products and Signs

Repent! The End of Good Taste is at Hand

All the inspirational merchandise and signage displayed below, no doubt, was created with the best intentions in mind, but few other considerations (such as good taste?). Most of them are aiming to induce "instant faith" or "instant cleansing" or other "instant some-such". In most cases, though, they only produce an immediate question "What were they thinking?"

"God Beverage" - consists of mostly coffee (we have to agree with that) -

"Believe in God Instantly" breath spray has already become a classic:
(a minty solution for all your troubles)

"Wash Away Your Sins" air freshener, with a similar idea:

"Omnipotent" cleaner is probably omniscient, as well -

"Seed of Samson"... eh, seed bars -

Some Christian toy-makers should pray more often, as their products clearly lack in good taste and can not possibly entice religious fervor:

Deluxe Miracle Jesus -

I doubt this atrocity would ever answer -

Jean-Paul II Barometer (changes color, you know) -

And in case you were wondering, how they even sell that stuff - here is a sort of instruction:

From abominable merchandise, we continue to other strange signs of deep devotion. What follows is, actually, a pretty neat and original project:


LEGO Church Masterpiece

Amy Hughes has created a lasting piece of LEGO awesomeness - with incredible amount of detail (every "special guest" has a story, and the whole thing was created in the loving memory of her cat "Precious"). It took a year and a half to plan and build it, with many pieces obtained in bulk from LEGO stores. Check out all different angles at this page.

For the whole story of the Bible made with LEGO, see this site: The Brick Testament

By the way, if you ever wondered what LEGO fans mean when they say "Dark Ages": it's a term to describe the years between putting down LEGO as a child and picking it back up as an adult.

There are many "Jesus-mobiles" in existence, all unique and strange in varying degrees - and perhaps a subject for separate post. Here is just one example:

Nearby is the "Salvation Mountain" (Niland, Imperial County, California)

The Award for the Most Miserable Nativity Scene in the World, goes to this structure:

Check your Rapture Index (online):



Apparently, the "rapture index" of this cat is "through the roof" -

Finally, perhaps you might tell us, what on earth ARE these bloated white things, displayed at one Christian Bookshop? -

T-Shirts that caught our eye

Some of them are interesting enough to attract attention:

As a foot note: "If there's MySpace in your afterlife, you didn't go to heaven."

Speaking of MySpace, in this life - here is a pretty cool Christian MySpace theme
(designed by these radical T-shirt guys) -

Jesus as Starbucks Lady??

Some of the t-shirts are simply too weird:



Can't make up your mind? Then wear these:



I don't know what's worse -




Signage that's truly "not of this world"

And sometimes not with a lot of sense, either. How would you like to drive behind a truck that asks you "Are you ready to meet Jesus?" Er... not yet!

You'd feel pretty comfortable behind a car with "God in it" -

Signs and billboards with pretty heavy meaning:

And I have to admit, this one is absolute classic:

"O ye of little faith!"... If walking on water is a miracle, then driving on water should be doubly so:



What does a Christian restaurant look like in Shinjuku, Tokyo? Here is "Christon Cafe"' interior:

An idea for Steve Jobs?

Some other interesting quasi-religious occasions:

The definition of tolerance:



Hold On!



Well, regardless of our blunders and feeble attempts at advertising, it's pretty obvious that there are larger forces at play in our Universe... Let's just hope they have the sense of humour! -
