To my mind, this kind of Christian icon collage fits in well with my whole ironic lingo of the urban archaeologist "unearthing remnants of a forgotten cult", and then "preaching Tiki to the uninitiated". After all, we are having fun with some other peoples gods, so Christian Tiki fans should not be offended by having their icons used to have fun with, either. A lack of humor is the downfall of any religion in my eyes. As island myths tell us, Tiki the ancestor god had a great sense of humor, and I am convinced he would have loved all of this. In my world, it IS possible to have both at the same time, a sense of humor and a sense respect for a higher power.
