Walmart Sanctifies The Toy Aisle With Talking Jesus Action Figures
The Des Moines Register would like you to know that Walmart is test marketing some
talking Jesus action figures. The dolls will set you back $14.97.Will a talking Jesus action figure sell? A Walmart employee speculates: “There are some missing and I don’t think someone is going to steal them.”
He’s wearing a simple tunic with that Kenny Loggins haircut. Push the button on his back and he says this:”I am Jesus. I am the son of God.”
Jesus and his shelf mates, Mary, David, Noah, Samson, Esther and Moses, make up “Tales of Glory.” They were introduced to secular commerce this fall. It’s the first time the world’s largest retailer has sold a full line of faith-based toys.”
This kind of stuff just disturbs me, another way for Christian parents to force religion on their children. Everyone knows what is going to happen to Jesus, he is going to have a gun put in his hand and fight against GI Joe because honestly… how can a young kid play with Jesus and his buddies? Jesus won’t end up curing the lepers but sitting on an old womans shelf collecting dust.
