Randomized Work Tidbits.

The cross graveyard - where all those signs that tell you you're going to hell go to die. Although the Flickr set is termed a cross garden, which makes me think that the placement of all these signs, messages, and crucifixes have some rhyme, reason, order, or deliberateness. If this is the case, then what sort of message is being sent by making the place look more like the graveyard of firebrand preachers' signs?

It's a little jarring to see the graffiti in a place that looks abandoned be all about saving someone from sin, instead of tags, gang signs, or other indications of territory or of the shoddy world around them.

Maybe this is supposed to be some representation of the post-Rapture world, where all the sign-wielding preachers vanished, or the dark places at the Triumph of the Antichrist, with the signs and barbed wire being used as a grisly reminder to the world that their God has abandoned them and those who believe otherwise will meet the same fate as these?

Or perhaps it is the last refuge of the Wandering Jew, forced (or willingly) adopting the trappings of the evangelical so as not to be discovered and Jack Harkness'd before it is his time to be redeemed in the Christian Second Coming?

I don't know. But those pictures are haunting in their own way. If they're supposed to convert me to Jesus, though, they're not doing all that great a job.
