A Fred’s store in Murfreesboro, TN is getting a lot of attention due to a religious display ahead of Easter.

The display, pictured below has the three crosses told of in the New Testament account of the crucifixion of Jesus.

According to all four gospels, Jesus was brought to the “Place of a Skull” and crucified between two thieves, with the charge of claiming to be “King of the Jews,” and the soldiers divided his clothes before he bowed his head and died.

I wonder if leftwingers will boycott Fred's demanding a separation of religion and soda?

Tacky, but I appreciate the effort.

I appreciate the effort and forethought needed to put this together, but it seems rather tacky.
What next? A Crucifixion Scene made from Captain Crunch and Doritos -Ranch Flavored Chips?
This had to be seen and approved by several people.
My guess is somebody with authority said ‘Do it!’, and everyone else was too afraid of job endangerment to say something that did not agree.

I’m not sure if this is a good idea myself.

It is tacky.

But when your heart is in the right place tacky is excusable.

It took a lot of guts to do this in today’s America.

I’ll give them an “A” for effort. You may find it a bit off kilter, by I see a creative effort to spread the word of Jesus Christ. More power to ‘em.

I'm sure the Good Lord appreciates the effort especially in this day and age when public expression of Christian religion does not go un-persecuted.
