If you're enamored of the Talking Jesus Doll, just wait 'til you see...


http://www.holyfolks.com

"Play & Pray With Us"? Something about that alone just creeps me right out. :scared:

Or maybe it's the gigantic, killer-bee-stung lower lip on Jesus... Oh, wait, that's his beard...

28. Okay, enough's enough! SOMEONE should make THIS toy...
Had it with religionism? Irrationality? Superstition?

BEHOLD! Amazing mockup of the "TALKIN' DAWKINS" doll!


Clever mockup of the
"Talkin' Dawkins" Doll


It's a foot-tall replica of renowned scientist and author (and atheism advocate) Richard Dawkins, using the great man's own voice to encourage kids to apply reason and the scientific approach to problem solving.

The goal of the Talkin' Dawkins: teach 10 million children 50 principles of science, reason, and inquiry.

I get the feeling that the Pope, Jerry Falwell and Osama bin Laden would all be screaming bloody murder over that toy!

edit: oops, my other right... yeah, those elephant are really small or Noah is really big... wrong animal, how about a dove instead?

64. That's for the whole set, they're $19.99 a piece
Actually that's not a bad price.

Their website does not say Made in U.S.A. which any manufacturer would brag about, so it's fairly well assured they're made in China.

We all know how slave labor is a Christian value. :sarcasm:

Taking advantage of working poor to raise money for religion is the height of hypocrisy, and probably a sin according to their own religion.

4. I wonder if their clothes come off?
The first thing my daughter ever did with a new doll was take its clothes off. Hmmm a naked Mary? They probably sewed those clothes right onto their skin.

32. when I was little I was given a few baby dolls but I didn't want to take

their clothes off, instead I said to my mother 'if I'm going to grow up to be a mommy, why would I want to play with baby dolls now? they stopped giving me baby dolls.

37. My daughter has just started to play with dolls and does the
same thing. Takes their clothes off and then asks for help putting them back on. Oy. Of course the funny thing is to watch my husband try to put the itty bitty clothes back on the kidlet's small dolls. He usually tries for about 30 nano-seconds then hands it to me. Small hands and fingers come in useful on occassion.

isn't that a boy on the left holding the dolls? is this a sublimable message from the gay agenda saying it's ok for boys to play with dolls??

I realize the boy is only holding "male dolls" -- but still they are dolls

Edited on Thu Nov-16-06 06:54 AM by bklyncowgirl
Given the sort of things that happen to kid's stuffed toys I would think this could be a tad sacriligous.

I have to admit though as a child I played with the Nativity scene figures especially the animals. We had to replace Baby Jesus a few times because we'd always hide him before Christmas so he could be put in the manger on Christmas morning and inevitably we'd forget where we put him or the cats would find him and bat him around the living room.

By the way, I think the doll with the funny beard is St. Joseph who's usually shown with a Shepherds crook for reasons that I've never understood since the man was a carpenter by trade.

11. Religious marketing..........
what a wonderful concept. There's plenty of good money to be made by marketing baby jesus and pals. Why doesn't BO have a problem with THIS? This is FAR more disgusting than someone saying "happy holidays". The free market at work. Let's drain these religious suckers of every penny they've got. God is big business.

complain about? Honestly, I'm not Christian, but can already think of a handful of reasons why these would be good presents for a young child being raised in a Christian household.

doll which promotes violence and killing, and/or a barbie type doll dressed in a sleezy type outfit that encourages young girls to be anorexic. :shrug:

19. These dolls look a lot like Cabbage Patch dolls and

I never understood the popularity of the Cabbagae Patchers, not even the original handmade ones.

As a Christian, I find the concept of giving kids images of Jesus and Mary as toys disturbingly inappropriate.

24. Drawn Together had a hilarious bit last night
The voiceboxes of a talking jesus and talking barbie got mixed up at the factory. Jesus was advising that "if you don't do it with him, he'll dump you" and "just pretend you're eating a banana" while Barbie was telling a little girl that she was a sinner who would rot in hell.

They'll cave in and allow condoms to be distributed in high schools, as long as the message "Using This Will Makes Baby Jesus Cry" comes through loud and clear.

Plus, only those evil atheists would tear through his happy little face to get to the goods.
