One more tonight

Brandon has a funny post on the different types of Bibles for sale. I think he forgot the American Flag emblazoned one, but all good stuff. The marketing of the faith may not be new, but it appears to be bolder. I expect Passion of the Christ Bibles (with forward by Mel Gibson) or the companion Bible to the hit tv series, The Bachelor. This (found at the Revealer blog) story on the National Religious Broadcaster's convention makes you wonder if everything is for sale? Will we see Christ on the Cross selling painkillers? Or worse?

Embrace the New, Christian Media Conferees Learn : "While some perused brochures for Christian insurance companies featuring 'affordable, Biblical healthcare,' others entered to win what one production company said was a 4,000-year-old, museum-quality piece of brimstone from the original sin city: Gomorrah."

I didn't mention this in my post but I also loved the newest message paraphrases.
