DUBLIN, Ga. -- A display at a Dublin grocery store is getting some attention on Facebook.

Three crosses made from cartons of Coca-Cola tower over the soda aisle at the Food Depot on 2103 Veterans Blvd.

Store manager Steve Logue says he got the idea from another store.

"The first person who saw it said she liked it and took a picture," said Logue...

1. Right?

Yikes. That's what happens when you have a society that has cultivated a "no respect" mindset.

[TlalocW]

2. The thing is this was probably respectful in the mind of whomever greenlit it

And it is Georgia... Jesus would have had Coca-Cola at the Last Supper if he could have.

8. I have near zero respect for my ex-religion.

But I still have a million times more respect for it than the fuckheads who thought this one up.

Or the people who think it's just great.

Fucking idiots.

7. Have you seen the packages with chocolate crosses? Next to the choc bunnies.

I find that pretty disturbing, too.

21. I have seen those, and think they are rather creepy.

A number of years ago, I saw an interesting question posed about the wearing of crucifixes.

The person asking the question wanted to know if there were any other intrumens/methods of execution that people wear around their necks as an item of jewelry/decoration. It was a rhetorical question, and the person posing it pointed out that she had never seen anyone wearing a replica of an electric chair, a gas chamber, a lethal injection gurney, etc.

30. Actually I had a very Christian boyfriend

who refused to wear a cross for that very reason. He asked "If your friend was stabbed to death, would you wear a knife around your neck?"

To which I replied " Well, a lot of people don't feel that way about it."

He said, "They're wrong."

It turned out he went to a little church like Westboro, and they all thought they were the only ones on the planet going to heaven.

28. I ran across those a few years ago and agree. nt

10. My GAWD.

[gratuitous]

12. Why have you forsaken me?

Tacky in the extreme. I would probably lodge a complaint with the store's manager. Something along the lines of "How many times were you dropped on your head such that this seemed like a good idea?"

[Angry Dragon]

11. If Jesus was here would he choose Coke or Pepsi??

[LOL Lib]

13. Jesus would snap his fingers and turn that sugar water into wine.

[Angry Dragon]

14. LOL

16. display placard: "The average Georgian drinks this much Coca-Cola annually...

...while committing nutritional self-crucifixion."

17. Jesus wasn't a fan of mixing commerce with the sacred

Whether it was taking commerce into the sacred or trivializing the sacred by selling it like bubble gum he would have the same objection

And making a whip of cords, he drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and oxen. And he poured out the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables. And he told those who sold the pigeons, "Take these things away; do not make my Father's house a house of trade."[Jn 2:13–16]


"And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves, And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves."

Matthew 12-13

Five days after Jesus assaulted the merchants at the temple he was dead.

18. WWJD? What Would Jesus Drink?

[SunSeeker]

19. Oy

[3catwoman3]

20. Tacky.

Tacky, tacky, TACKY!

Not to mention tasteless.

[rurallib]

22. Needs a slogan, like "Goes well with wafers"

or maybe "Thirsty after a long day of just hanging around?"

[3catwoman3]

23. That is irreverently...

...clever.

[Solly Mack]

24. I guess everything does go better with a coke.

Even crucifixions.

We know what their last request was now.

Have a coke and a uh...smile?

Yeah, it's tacky but I could go all night with the jokes.

[FDRsGhost]

25. I see this very different than most

Perhaps that's the artist in me but what I saw the very second I looked at the image is this;

God is no longer a factor in America, corporations are and have taken his place.
To me, it's a very powerful statement and yes, I'm Christian myself. None the less, it drives home a point that corporations are the religion of many.

[WePurrsevere]

26. Sad but true.... "corporations are the religion of many"

As a bit of (unintentional) art... you're on the money although I doubt that's what the 'artist' who came up with this was thinking.

[FDRsGhost]

27. I don't know, I'd certainly like to find out however

[randr]

29. The money changers Jesus disturbed

are vindicated
