Yes, I am thinking of doing it!

I want the Jesus doll for this reason alone. I want to also purchase a George W. Bush action figure, all dressed up in his military gear. Then, I will put a little "I'm With Stupid" t-shirt on the Jesus doll with an arrow pointing to GWB!

Too funny HPM. They did mention a David doll. Will it be a David the Giant Slayer doll or a David the Playa doll?

Maybe that's the pretense, Lyra. Target the religious consumers, knowing that the jokers are going to buy 'em up for gag gifts!

Is that a "No"?

Damn, next y'all are going to tell me that Jesus won't have "flip the money lenders table" kung fu action grip or a convert the masses fisher of men battle boat playset either.

What's so funny Dayhiker?
Isn't this THE great and awesome God?

Why wouldn't he have a battle boat or kung fu action grip. I mean c'mon this is the great I AM we're talking about here.

No flaming bush of fury or matching Hosanna bandanna for the kids either huh?

I wouldn't think that anyone (with half a brain) who's truly religious would buy a Jesus doll for religious purposes. Maybe as a joke but to worship? The thought of kids learning from a Jesus doll in sunday school kinda scares me. It's just down-right creepy.

This whole doll thing seems more like a Jeff Foxworthy joke than reality. You might be a redneck if.....

I don't think that's what they are pitching it for. I'm thinking they just mean it to be a plaything.

But honestly, I was raised in the church and as a kid I played cops and robbers, coyboys and indians and the usual kid stuff but never did I play Jesus.

HPM, isn't that money changers ??

Tree, you could put your foot-tall Jesus in the cage with the birds and maybe he could teach them those verses.

But then you might have to shoot the birds.

Hey, and I'm an "out-of-practice" catholic.

So I guess my memory is not totally shot.

I can just see Action Jesus flippin' little flea market tables while the money-grubbers flea for their lives.
