God being an Iron and all

So I have a great-aunt. She's the sort of matriarch of the family who would keep tabs on everyone and send them all little wreaths of shells and wildflowers if they were all within convenient reach of her. Given that this is an age of travel, though, she can't do that. But then . . . she discovered AOL.

So today, I received from her a bit of Christian net-kipple. This particular thing suggested that to be Christian is to be like a pumpkin. For one is brought in from the patch, has the dirt washed off and all the icky stuff removed, and a smiley face marked on one and a light set inside so all can see.

My irony meter has blown a gasket.

Hell, I is one.

I'm just stuck on the funny.

The Seventh Day Adventist ex boyfriend found the hollowed out and painted with a fake face until you rot aspect of it quite striking, yes. I get the impression he doesn't care much for some of the other Christian sects, or at least some of their followers.

I'm rather struck by the calling ones self a pumpkin but actually being a jack'o'lantern instead aspect, though I've not quite dug any "deeper" message from that image yet.
