A Cross to Bear
Filed under: Eros - May 10, 2008 @ 1:00 pm
There’s a hideous 198-foot-tall cross that sits right on Highway 70 on the way to Indianapolis near Effingham, Illinois. It’s so creepy to be driving along and all of a sudden you hit this bend and BAM it’s inyourface. I think the town is called “Effingham” for all the times people are unexpectedly confronted with the cross and exclaim, “HOLY FUCK!”
Whenever I see it, I think of this site. Click on the thumbnails to see just how much Jesus is enjoying himself!
And this site of hot chicks crucified, where “our hot cross obsession movies are made to please you, and not to please them!”
Amen, brother! :: Rolling my eyes. ::

I saw that on TV once, that is pretty fucking annoying. It reminds me, today I saw one of those “Vote Life/god” bumper stickers. Those damn things really irritate me, I want one that says “Vote Death/Satan.” I knew a chick once that had a bumper sticker that said “I Feed on the Flesh of the Living and I Vote,” I loved that one!

Speaking of bumperstickers, I used to have one that read:
“Sorry I missed church. I was busy practicing witchcraft and becoming a lesbian.”
I need to replace that…

this thing always bothered me when i drove by till i noticed its made of aluminum siding… now i just laugh, nothing says faith like a farmer building a giant cross out of his left over barn siding.

I like crosses. I was raised in the catholic church. I don’t belong to the religion anymore, but I think that a lot of the religious imagery is pretty.

and the cross is someone she has not met…
This reminds also of Bald Knob Cross (great name huh). It is said to be the largest cross in North American. And I grew up about 25 miles away from it. If I think about it real hard (and bald?) I can feel the heat from it…fuck (he mutters because it is just too much, or is it because it isn’t enough).
