Umm . . . so Wal-Mart is apparently set to begin selling Jesus action figures - along with other "faith-based toys" (think Samson and Daniel with a Lion's Den). They'll only sell them in 420 stores though - only the stores that "sell a lot of Bibles."
I realize that some Christian parents want to give their children "wholesome" action figures, but seriously - what do they think their kids are doing with them? I seriously doubt they're re-enacting Jesus healing the blind man . . .
My favorite comment reacting to this news? "Go ahead. Cast the first stone!" Hopefully they'll include that on the packaging.

Well, is there a problem with Jesus kicking some bad-guy butt? I realize that Christians aren't supposed to take revenge because "vengence is the Lord's," so why isn't the Lord allowed to lay the smack down (i.e. judgment) on some bad-guy action figures (the Shedder, perhaps)?
Something about that just strikes me as "un-Gospel-ish."
I think you meant 'Shredder'? If not, I'd love to see the action figure for persistent fur loss.
The Shedder, bane of furry animals everywhere . . . [cue ominous music]. He's particularly feared in cold climates.
You guys are such nerds...
Dave, I think she's talking about you . . . I know she couldn't be referring to me.
Possibly, of course I didn't cue any music in my comment. Not saying you're more of a nerd than I, just saying, one might see music cues in comments as a sign of nerdy-ness.
Cool people like music too . . .
well played
