by crucifix, you're referring to an image of christ on the cross, right? the terms cross and crucifix can be used interchangeably, as i understand it.

but i'm just talking about a straight-up cross. no jesus attached.

Christ on a Cross, correct. Catholics prefer them to remind themselves of their misery and guilt. Catholicism is all about guilt. Fundamentalists and Evangelicals disparage Catholics because they believe it's an Icon or the graven image thing. That's why you won't find a Crucifix in any of their homes.

Not even a buddy Jesus? Buddy Jesus would look good with a few nails and a crown of thorns.

If he had been thrown to the lions, would Christians wear little pewter arenas with lions chasing people? Just wonderin' .

The day after Good Friday, for example? Let's say your a devout Christian and you want to show your love of Jesus by picking up a sweet cross.

But because you love the Son of God so much, and because you hate that uppity cunt that lives next door and also has a nice cross, you want to make sure you get the best that money can buy.

On the other hand, you're also a discerning and shrewd Bible-thumper. You don't want to spend a dime more than you have to, because that would be a sin.

So what do you do? Sure, there are outlet stores and websites, all of them clamoring for your Christ-on-the-Cross-loving attention. But they're a bit impersonal and

Maybe you have a specialty cross boutique that you go to. A local, family-owned business that deals only in the finest of materials and craftsmanship. We're talking rosewood, teak, ironwood, rich mahogany, gold, plastic, cardboard, etc. And ornamentation? If it's gilt (without the 'u') you're looking for, this is the kind of place for you.

The only problem is, these places usually charge a premium for the quality in service and selection they provide. The question is, do they have special seasonal sales? Or discounts for members of the ASL (Anti-Semitic League)?

What does a good Catholic do if he wants quality, but doesn't want to be crucified on the price?

I don't know, what do you guys think?

I say get a nice ole' Jewish star. LOL.

Good question, I'm sure the Papal PR department could whip something suitable up.

the correct one.

hey, i just want to know: if i head down to Big Al's Holy House of Crosses tomorrow afternoon, will i be paying an arm and a leg for that 7-ft tall, chromium-plated, rhinestone-studded, velvet-lined cross i've had my eye on for the past few months?

that shit would absolutely MAKE my living room, really pull everything together.

Yes. You would. But preferably diamonds not rhinestone (come on). Dont you love Jesus?

this piece has potential, i think. it's a bit rough right now, though.

i'm not sure it would be tabernacle-approved.
