    IN HELL FROM SEX

    SEX PIT HELP ME JESUS

    SIN SEX SOULS IN HELL

    As the nights draw in... this is one of the spookiest places I’ve ever been, Rice’s Cross Garden in Prattville, Alabama. I went there in 1997 when working for @rawvisionmagazine . From my diary at the time: “His wife answered the door. She was fat with dark bags under her eyes. She said Rice was diabetic and had flu and was too weak to get up. She took us inside where there was a very strong smell of toilet disinfectant. All over the walls were pictures of Christ. Crucifixes hung from the ceiling in bunches. Rice was in one of those big spongy articulated chairs that moves when you press various buttons. He was sprawled out with his stomach bursting from a tight shirt with black crosses sewn onto it. Apparently he had had some cough mixture the night before which had pushed his blood sugar levels sky high. Every so often he coughed, gurgling and squeaking as if he was trying to speak. He was bald with white fluffy hair around the sides, smooth white skin and yellow finger nails.

    He told us that a man who wanted to build houses locally had tried to sue him for his ‘offending structures’. They went to court and won - thanks to Jesus. Of all the people we had seen Rice seemed least concerned with his work as any form of art, it was purely about spreading the word of Jesus. His wife said “there’s a hell down there and I’ve got news for some of those people who’ve mocked Mr Rice for doing what he’s done”. Someone had said he was a sweet old man. He certainly cheered up during the hour we were with him, though even this he put down to Jesus. It seems like some kind of weird obsession. It might as well been Elvis. ‘Elvis saves’. He told us about a man who used to laugh at the crosses who was now putting up his own further down the road. At one point Rice tried to get up but only managed to vibrate on the spot and topple backwards into the soft folds of his chair. The whole garden was for sale for 5 million dollars.

    It was a beautiful evening and the crosses cast long shadows. I do think it’s a fantastic place, but probably not for the reasons intended.”
