ruth (
R.I.O.T.
) arrives in Sacramento not only with the usual assortment of books, videos and CDs in the price range of $ 10 to $ 20 but with
R.I.O.T.
Gear
for the faithful.
R.I.O.T.
Gear
is not cheap. It consists of:
R.I.O.T.
Jackets for a whopping $ 299.00!
R.I.O.T.
Hockey Jerseys at a more affordable $ 100.00
R.I.O.T.
Baseball Caps for $ 18.00 (what would a
R.I.O.T.
Helmet cost?)
R.I.O.T.
Dog Tags to identify you are a mere $ 6.00 if you are a casualty of the
R.I.OT.
R.I.O.T.
T-Shirts, bargain basement priced at $ 15.00
R.I.O.T.
manuel of
R.I.O.T.
instructions for $ 10.00 After you are properly attired
So let's see it would probably cost somewhere in the vicinity of $ 425 to properly attire a fashionable
R.I.O.T.
er. and $ 10 to tell him/her how to
R.I.O.T.
Also included in Carman's list of videos is one titled
"Biblical Sexuality"
which has three parts to it, Truth or Consequences 1 & 2 and Homosexuality.
Carman's web page makes a point that he does not charge for his concerts although there may be an entrance fee such as charged by the California State Fair but with prices like such as those listed if the faithful buy all of the
R.I.O.T.
Gear
he really doesn't need to fleese them for admission.
Carman and the well attired
R.I.O.T.
er seem quite removed from Jesus, the simple and wise Rabbi upon who's teachings Christianity is said to be based. Jesus described himself
as "having nowhere to lay his head." (Matt. 8:20, Luke 9:58) and the Gospel according to John describes how at the time of his crucifixion Jesus had no
R.I.O.T.
Gear
but only a plainly woven seamless garment for which the Roman soldiers gambled (John 19:23).
Hallelujah!! Carman and the R.IO.T.ers, R.I.O.T.ing for J-E-S-U-S!
