Lady Liberty the Vampire Slayer



This is from a predominantly black megchurch in Tennessee. It's 72 feet tall.

Who's going to tell the pastor that the State of Liberty was a gift from France?

"Hmm... love America... hate France... love the Cross... hate croissants..."

Actually, even more interesting is this pre-unveiled picture of the statue, where Lady Liberty is shrouded with what appears to be a burqa, as befitting her gender and rights, in many a religious community:



What happened to that commandment about "Thou shalt not build graven images," anyway?

You know, we're really coming to a point where America and Gaza aren't all that different. There are some sets of people whose beliefs just don't mix. At all. It's one thing to be divided among believers and nonbelievers, and to live in mutual respect and tolerance. It's quite another to declare America a Christian nation, and to declare those who disagree as enemies who must be eradicated.
