I found Jesus...on the shelf at WalMart!

[Stoic]

Well, I could have if I cared enough. What I want to know is who is the target consumer for this thing? Isn't it part of Protestantism a rejection of the Catholic use of statuary to depict Jesus and the Saints (sounds like a doowop singing group) as being akin to idolatry?

I should think that a Jesus Action Figure would be...blasphemous. Or are all the "values voters" lining up to "collect the set"?

"WalMart: Low Values every day" takes on a new meaning. (Or is that supposed to be "prices"?)

1. I found him AND Buddha! They were hanging out together here:

He's lovable and squeezable!

2. I holding out for Mithras

The wait is agony.

[Sabriel]

4. Is Mithras huggable?

He always struck me as a little stand-offish.

12. (LOL!!) "Van Gogh with removable ear! Pull it off, velcro it back! Hours of fun."

19. It even has schizophrenic eyes.

Talk about your realism.

3. It´s not a matter or blasphemy or idolatry

the sad part of your news is that if Walmart is selling them, then there were millions of them manufactured, somewhere on this planet, people were paid a few cents to make this product.

If you think that Walmart has low values, then use "your consumer power" and don´t shop there anymore.

11. I wonder what the lead content is?

i·dol·a·try
–noun, plural -tries.
1. the religious worship of idols.
2. excessive or blind adoration, reverence, devotion, etc.

It COULD be if used correctly.

(I've only been in WalMart 2-3 times in my life and then only because I was on the road and there was nothing else in town, sadly.)

5. .......

The kid is trying to tackle the Big Guy in this next one!! :wtf:

[Sabriel]

7. Is that a tackle or a reacharound?

And I see Sporty Jesus doesn't believe in safety equipment. Tsk, tsk.

[shain from kane]

10. Here's some protective equipment sent from Heaven.

16. My two favorite

Jesus being inappropriate with a little girl.


And Jesus teaching how NOT to turn the other cheek.

[MiniMe]

8. I found a Jesus tree topper. Is it blasphemous to stick a tree up Jesus's butt?

9. "King of Glory"?

King of Burgers, more like.

[MiniMe]

15. It even has stigmata on his hands

:rofl:

He does look like the burger king guy.

[symbolman]

13. I got a Manger Scene at Walmart

that has not one, not two, not three, but FOUR WISE MEN :)

I figure it's good to have a spare..

[Sabriel]

14. Inflation means you have to have 4 people to be as wise as 3

The devaluing dollar is hitting the Wisdom market, also.

[shain from kane]

17. Three wise men and their manger.

(Just a joke. How many times have you seen "manager" spelled as "manger"?)

[Stoic]

18. You've got bragging rights over your friends

They only have three wise men. Score!
