MY LIFE

Yes, YOU TOO can have The Sand of Christ

Oh.

My.

GAWD!

Every single hand-made Sand of Christ vial has been blessed and made holy by a specially trained ordained minister.

People will fall for ANYthing!

So just how exactly can a trinket be made “holy”, anyway?  NOTHING is more sacred than anything else.  There’s no holy water.   There’s no Holy Land.   There’s no “Holy Shi…”  well, wait, sometimes there is a holy shit, but that’s only with a diet rich in fiber, which is something totally different.    And what sort of special training does a minister need in order to do this?

The sand itself is not the important part.  The sand carries and represents the hours of work, love, blessing, tradition, and emotion that have gone into each piece, much like your church or place of worship.  And, just like the feeling you get when you go to worship, carrying Sand of Christ with you will extend that feeling of faith and closeness.

Bollocks!

For just $29.99 (and $4.99 S/H, of course) you can have one of these most valuable trinkets, and rest in the comfort of knowing that a portion of their net proceeds goes directly to the Y.M.C.A.   How COOL!  <*koff*>    But you’ll notice in their FAQ that they haven’t yet actually made any profit.  So hurry now and help them out.   Plus, you’ll get a copy of that damnable offensive “Footprints in the Sand” poem, just to remind you how utterly helpless you are as a human.   Somehow I suspect the calibre of Christian willing to part with $35.00 likely already have that damned poem pasted on their wall … and pinned to their office cubicle at work, too.  And, as The Friendly Atheist already suggested, maybe this whole shyster scheme is run by an atheist who smells money.  Certainly, if it is being run by someone claiming to be a Christian, he is either incredibly duped himself, or is deliberately ripping off his ‘brothers in Christ.’

I’m sorry, but what kind of shallow Christian would fall for this?   Seriously, this is worse than those awful WWJD trinkets.    “What would Jesus do?”    He’d rip you a new one for wasting your money on cheap trinkets in his name.   Sheesh!
