4. Isn't there some rule about creating images or something?
In plush or in plastic, it gives me the creeps in ways I can't even describe.

What happens when, as many little girls do with their Barbies and Kens, Noah and Mary end up naked ... and kissing in the Barbie Dream House? Do they come with a lamb to sacrifce too?

17. Actually, it's one of the Ten Commandments
Exodus 20:4
4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.

20. * Some Restrictions and Special Dispensations may apply
I never saw that disclaimer written anywhere either. Just damn creepy!

Just wait, that hussy Mary will be in Barbie's favorite disco outfit before you know it ... smoking and drinking and having anything but immaculate conceptions right there in the toy box! :rofl:

13. They had Biblical action figures in Walmart when I was in college: 1991-1995
My friends and I discovered them when we went to Walmart late one Saturday. Some of them had been taken out of their boxes, and the proud atheist in our group picked up Moses and the Pharaoh and did the whole, "Let my people go," part of the Bible but with a kung-fu theme to it (they are action figures, after all). The rest of us set down on the shelf that held all the bikes and watched him and laughed our asses off.

We also noticed the company had misspelled Philistine on another one of their action figure packages. That was pretty funny at 2 in the morning too.

14. Very, very close to blaspheme.
Very, very close to blaspheme in my opinion. Too close for my comfort, anyway.
(No, not your OP-- but the actual commercialization of basis tenets...)

15. "Battle" terminology
One2believe Chief Executive David Socha said his products were part of a " battle for the toy box" with dolls and figures that he said carry negative messages.

"If you're very religious, it's a battle for your children's minds and what they're playing with and pretending. There are remakes out there of Satan and evil things," Socha said.


(Satan: the Remake...)

Maybe they need some heathen dolls for the Bible dolls to beat up or something.
