Holy Talking Jesus Batman!
According to the AP, Toys for Tots was given a donation of around 4,000 talking Jesus dolls to distribute to less fortunate kids. The company that donated the dolls, One2Believe, did not see what the problem was with giving the dolls to needy children. Apparently they had to be slapped with a rubber chicken and then told that not all the children that get toys are Christian. Imagine them giving little Abdullah or Joshua a Jesus doll for celebration of Hajj (sorry if I got this one wrong) or Hanukkah. That would be great. Let’s show the non-Christian children in the US how much we hate them by giving them a crappy talking Jesus for a “Christmas present”.
Okay, I’m sure the guy that came up with this plan was doing so out of the goodness of his heart. HOWEVER, this could also be seen as another way for the crazy fundy’s to spread the word about the “good book” and save souls. Either way it was a train wreck. The kicker on this story is what the talking Jesus doll says: “I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again” (apparently the guy didn’t think of the feminist backlash on this one either by say HE is born again, not HE/SHE or they) and “Love your neighbor as yourself”. Yah, so GREAT IDEA! I could see it now…little Susie gets a wrapped gift from a Toys for Tots rep. She opens it only to see this:
Is this Jesus or Val Kilmer?
Then she pushes the button only to hear some great godly advice basically telling her she is going to hell unless she is a he or is born again. 5 year old Susie is confused and disappointed and a little scared. She runs to her mom, crying her eyes out. When her mom asks what is wrong, little Susie explains that the talking Val Kilmer Jesus doll told her she has to be a HE and has to be born again in order to see God. But she doesn’t want to be a boy OR have to be a baby again…she like being a “big” girl!
I’m starting to think the guy that did this has a vested interest in a chain of psychiatrists. Imagine the amount of money that would have to be handed over to try to “fix” the talking Jesus fiasco. Nah, that would mean that some thought was actually put into this, which obviously didn’t happen. I’ll be looking for the Jesus Transformer next.
Blessed Be
