Oh I saw a lot of this stuff when I lived in Ohio. In fact our high school had a big stone monument on the lawn of the 10 Commandments. Only a handful of people were against it, way outnumbered by the folk who wanted it there. The designs that emulate a known logo are somehow disturbing to me. Like they are trying to commercialize God, or worse yet trying to sneak it in. I would however love to visit the KRSNA's Transcendental Thrift Store, that sounds interesting!
Amber, I agree. I always find it a little jarring to see religious nicknacks next to the beer and jerky in convenience stores.
