Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s, but give me a little taste too. USAToday (07.14.05);

"More than 10,000 true believers who make, publish and sell evangelical Christian books, gifts and music gathered here this week to look over the latest merchandise, from Scripture Candy to The Soldier's Bible." Convention highlights evangelical retail

Something tells us this guy would be a real pain-in-the-ass to have for a neighbor: "A Missouri artist displayed patriotic paintings that contain hidden images of the face of God, demons, an unborn child, even 'Jesus' written in the stars. One showed the nail-scarred hands of Jesus mending a bullet-torn U.S. flag." Our favorite, from Reverend Finch: "In-Souls™ inserts are designed to provide a tangible support to assist Christians to literally 'walk in the word of the Lord.' Worn in the right shoe, each one provides a related scripture and affirmation." Get it? The "right" shoe? They also sell scripture socks and air fresheners. No lie. We were going to ask about suppositories, but figured they wouldn't appreciate the crack.
