The Pope has released a CD and an MTV-ready video. The Christian Tattoo Association is already 100 members strong. And God seems to be taking a tougher stand in his marketing material. An anonymous donor has financed a series of 18 billboards in Florida and four other states, with decidedly in-your-face messages not unlike those of New York City's Marble Collegiate Church. The Brits go further, with a campaign that compares Jesus to Che Guevara. Easter 1999 may be remembered as the time God said, "No more Mr. Nice Guy."
