I find this both heartening (who knew the Marines were so considerate?) and scary:

"The idea was for them to be three-dimensional teaching tools for kids," La Roe said. "I believe as a churchgoing person, anyone can benefit from hearing the words of the Bible."

This is the kind of stuff I was talking about in the Elton John thread--the supposition that Christianity is inherently good.

And who wants to play with Jesus doll? It's not like he's got a Malibu Dream House or a sports car.

What's next? A Jesus with a Chia beard?

I just read that article a few minutes ago.

I found the statement "I believe as a churchgoing person, anyone can benefit from hearing the words of the Bible" to be overwhelmingly redundant. Of course a churchgoing person would think that.

I don't know, the notion of Jesus vs. Moses steel cage matches seems like fun.

This Jesus Doll doesn't talk but seems to have "round heels."

It's the "Project Runway" JC!

Here's one for those who need to imagine their Jesus as a Beanie Baby with Heart-Shaped Stigmata.

I think it looks like Piper Laurie in Carrie!


I want one!

I wonder if it'll come with a potato peeler!

Stigmata JC looks like he's had a little of the Maryjane Magdalene.

Oooh! I can definitely see the Piper Laurie in it! I want one, too. He can hang out next to my Edgar Allan Poe bobble head.

I don't know, though, about the Bobble Head Jesus. It seems disrespectful, like he's making fun of people with Parkinson's or something.

Pull the String!  Pull the String!

But at least this one has skin coloring that's a little more Mediterranean...

Stop spoiling the fun of Christians, lil! As long as these dolls spread the word of Jesus, it's OK. The Bible is more a set of guidelines than something to be taken literally.

Unless you're a fag, in which case your sinning ass can burn in hell.

BURN ALL THE DOLLS, SINNERS!!!

"On Saturday evening I was watching television when my daughter of 2 came out of her room to tell me that her doll was moving by itself. I assumed that it probably fell off the shelf so to satisfy her I got up and went to her room . when I got there to my surprise she had a stuffed troll doll dancing in the middle of her bedroom floor to a Disney movie playing music . Being raised in church I began pleading the blood of Jesus and commanded that spirit to leave then the doll went limp and fell over on the floor. I took the doll outside my house and burned it. what would cause something like this to happen?"

http://www.demonbuster.com/dolls.html

"We recommend destroying or burning all dolls. This includes stuffed animals. Boys don't call their little toys "dolls", but they fall into the same category. Many "toys" on the market today are demonic in nature, and some even look evil. As a Christian parent, you need to raise your children more in tune with God instead of the influences of the devil."

Honey, that's old testament. And everyone knows that the only holdover from the old testament is that men can't sleep with men.

Windy - That site is hysterical! I love the first entry from the woman who spoke in tongues at a Playplex arcade and burned her kids' Mah Johnng tiles.
