one at the head

I've written before about concerns around speculations of the thereafter and the uselessness of such exercises. I haven't linked that quite to the subject of crowns explicitly, but in general, I find them no different than grand houses.

But how does this mesh with the notion of literalness? If mountains can jump, if He can send arrows, why not actual crowns?

No reason why not. My concern is no reason why. Punt.
