photo-realistic it is, purchased from this website: http://nature-crafts.com/eaineagl40.html

The EarthBall is a durable vinyl globe made with thousands of NASA satellite images of Earth from space. Along with the photo-realism of the globe, the glow-in-the-dark cities and beautiful atmospheric conditions makes this globe a unique gift for all ages. Easy to inflate. Can be suspended from the North Pole.


And we got the last one in stock!

I still think you're drastically underestimating the devotion of "non-fundies," but time will tell, I suppose. But like Mab said, don't be surprised if several churches pool their parishioners. They have the numbers. If just 1% of the congregation is willing, you will see Baby Jesus again next year.

Anyway, kudos on the display this year.

Humbert,

You might be right. The baby Jesus was stolen from the nativity scene and they had a re-dedication today with all this clergy and it was in the news. A huge deal. So yeah, maybe I am underestimating them.

Still no comments. To bad. I wanted to tell her the only reason we posted signs and erected trees of knowledge is because her religion is on state property. It doesn't matter what I believe or celebrate, it's a form of protest. There shouldn't be ANY religous crap on state property. That's what front yards and churches are for. If one religion is allowed then all should be.

We all know this but, she seems to have missed the point completely. I find this typical with most Christians.

Brother, You say there is but one way to worship and serve the Great Spirit. If there is but one religion, why do you white people differ so much about it? Why not all agree, as you can all read the book. -Sagoyewatha,(Red Jacket) - Chief and great orator of the six nations.
