Strange Veneration

One would be hard pressed to find a faith group that didn't have some element of absurdity to it- but some wholeheartedly embrace their strangeness, inviting all to join in their joyful wackiness.

Indeed, there are so many that it is nearly impossible to keep it under a dozen. First up- strange saints and Messiahs. We have the venerable Saint Clinton, a secular icon who really "feels your pain," as it were.

If Clinton's smug mug is not to your liking, here's a more somber candidate for Messiah, the Lord Kelvin. (See, he's already a "Lord.")

Then of course, there's Elvis.
