    I think we might be wearing bows, crossbows, slings, catapults or trebuchets more than a gun if he was shot, considering they had those other things to shoot him with.

      Explicitly as an homage to the crucifix, though.

      Also, this is part of a Bill Hicks bit about Kennedy.

      Lot of Christians wear crosses around their necks. You think when Jesus comes back he’s gonna want to see a [beep]ing cross, man? “Ohhh!” May be why he hasn’t shown up yet. “Man, they’re still wearing crosses. [beep] it, I’m not goin’, Dad. No, they totally missed the point. When they start wearing fishes I might show up again, but … Let me bury fossil heads with you, Dad. [beep] ’em … Let’s [beep] with them! They’re [beep]in’ with me now, let’s get ’em. Give me that brontosaurus head, Dad.”

      You know, kinda like going up to Jackie Onassis with a rifle pendant on, you know. “Thinkin’ of John, Jackie. We love him. Just tryin’ to keep that memory alive, baby.”

    Random thing I just learned. The other day, I heard the news refer to the company Glock. 33 years of life and I had no idea Glock was a brand name. I thought it was a word for a type of gun, like rifle is a type of gun

    If ancient Rome had had the electric chair as its method of execution, the equivalent of the sign of the cross would be a lot more animated.

    Too complicated. It would be a gold and diamond encrusted cartridge.
    And we’d have enough holy relic fragments of the bullet which killed Jesus to supply an entire army’s ammunition needs.

      The bullet is a much better idea than a gun. The whole gun thing is kinda gaudy. I also like the “relic” angle of selling fragments to the believers
