A Cross sold on TV what say you?

19 Bucks can get you salvation I guess.

I'd like some clarification here. I saw your add on TV, are you claiming every stone comes from that alleged tomb? If so wouldn't that be like selling stones from Tut's Tomb? If it is an historical site as implied my impression anyway, and correct me if I am wrong , it would seem anything that is in it should be preserved, not sold? I am used to seeing lots of mass produced products from lint cleaners to cell phone holders for your car sold on TV in bulk. I am sure your company is following all laws. But there still is a huge difference between legal, and moral. I am sure your patrons want to know they really are getting what they pay for.

The Nativity Stone Cross comes with a stunning Guardian Angel Pin

Wow.  What a bunch of shitheads.

I predict they will get rich separating idiot xtians from their money.  This scam has been going on since the 4th century.

They'd be better off getting some miracle spring water from Peter Popoff. God is supernaturally cancelling debts!

There is at least eight St. Benedict bones in every chicken.

I read somewhere that if all 'authentic' pieces of the True Cross were brought together and reassembled, the resultant crucifix would be something like 180 feet high. Similarly, if these purveyors of fraud mentioned in the link included a stone from the Cave of The Nativity in each cross they sell, the resultant mining would make the Cave bigger than the Flavian Amphitheatre.

Then again, no one ever lost money betting against the cupidity of religious hucksters. Or the stupidity of their customers.

Don't forget, something like 8 different places claim to have the head of john the baptist, too.  He would have looked real funny with 8 heads.

Is an 8 headed John the Baptist any funnier than Christ getting crucified on Thursday and Friday ?

Makes you think the whole Passion narrative took place inside a house of mirrors, dunnit?

Well the executioner's arm would have gotten very tired.  Not to mention that you would have needed a whole shitload of silver platters and Antipas was not a rich king.
