Fashion Come Sunday Gear

Believe in One Body JC is a store on Rainier that sells clothes Jesus Christ wants you to wear.
If I was a believer, I would prefer to keep it real with some raw sandals and, like the Apostles of Zimbabwe, a shepherd's crook.

Meanwhile, somewhere beneath the streets of NE Jerusalem, a little clod of dust spins furiously underground...

Stuff like this is an easy target, until you consider that not only sophisticated people have beliefs. Is it tacky? Is it cheap? Is it low class? Should tacky, cheap, low class people be denied the things they like? Or should everyone everywhere be an urbane Capitol Hill sophisticate?

Oh, shut yer yap, Fnarf. People have the right to poor taste but that doesn't mean it's not poor taste.
Anyway, am I not correct in thinking that there are Bible verses enjoining Christians not to be ostentatious and prideful about their religion-practicin'? Aren't they supposed to be meek and humble in public and pray in private? So this shit is explicitly dedicated to something the Bible enjoins against. GOOD JOB GUYS.

Thing is, other parts of the bible tell people to spread the good news wherever they go. Christian-themed apparel may be what some think is a good way to do that.

Fundie Christians are an odd lot. They will put crosses and the name of Christ in the most inappropriate places without thinking of sacrilage. Most religions have customs which abhor an object associated with a deity, person of reverence or sacred image being displayed on a shoe. The foot is considered a lowly part of the body because it is in constant contact with the filth of the ground. Thus The Magdalene redeeeming herself by washing Jesus's feet then drying them with her hair. Buddhists never display a sacred image at floor level and one keeps one's head below it to show one's self less important. A shoe was hurled at George W. Bush as an act of contempt. It is also strange to me what Tea Partiers do with flags. They wear trousers with Old Glory images, thus putting the flag in proximity to their asses and genitals, but they are outraged at people burning said flag.

thatsnotright, are you saying that there's something abhorant about genitals and asses?
Are those sparklies on the shoe itself (like the twinkle toe Skechers my youngest wears?) or something done to the dye? Because that could be the selling point for this nonsense in my book--I too should have flashing sparkly lights with every step, that's not at all annoying or anything.

There is nothing wrong with either asses or genitals as far as I am concerned, but I guarantee you that a Tea Partier would be pretty upset if protesters wiped their asses on an American flag. It makes me wonder if there would be a market for U.S. flag toilet paper abroad.
