Darth Vader Sculpture on Washington National Cathedral

Posted by Hemos on from the believe-in-the-force dept.

Michael Breeden writes "Star Wars has apparently taken another step in becoming part of our national history. The Washington National Cathedral, during its expansion, has placed a sculpture of Darth Vader's head into the carvings around one of the exterior arches. This space is normally reserved for grotesques (gargoyles), and ol' Darth seems to have fit the bill. "

    So a fictional character is on the cathedral. Big whoop. There's a bunch more inside that place - like the putz hanging on that lower case t they got, that Jesus dude...

    Why not have a little fun with the christians - they're dumb enough to follow some putz who never existed, why not add some Sci-fi to the mix?!

    At last, the Dark Side gets a little recognition on this puny planet!

    Joke em' if they can't take a phuc.

    that we've finally wised-up and have clasified religion correctly - another form of entertainment that shouldn't be the single guiding force in life...
