- OwdenBowden, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2Well thank the Lord for this. Onward Christin Soldiers...
I was just asking myself "where can I get a Jesus action figure"?
But Davie....- miriclaire, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3From the toy manufacturers website--which is obviously a better link and the poster did not bother to check out.
http://store.messengersoffaith.net/- OwdenBowden, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1You get dugg up for that link.
Peace be with you.

- MeMongo, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7Wouldn't that be G.I. Jesus?
- aliengoods, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5WWGIJK....Who would GI Jesus kill?
- Terr01, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Cobra Commander: "Yes, Eve. Simply share this delicious apple with Adam. BUWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHH!"
- geekfrom99, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5oh yeah? i have raptor jesus
- MeMongo, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7Wouldn't that be G.I. Jesus?
- Renton, on 10/11/2007, -2/+16I want the Jesus that transforms into a truck!
- H0tKarl, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6I though he already did.
- atheinostic, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Jesus is not something you just dump something on, he's not a big truck. He's a series of myths.
- aadyss, on 10/11/2007, -1/+0As stated by an individual accepting a childrens philosophy. Man, being an athesist is really easy. Come from nothing, going nowhere...cool!
- atheinostic, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1If you don't understand those myths can be believed and if they are believed, when you put your science in, it gets in line and its going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that myth enormous amounts of *****, enormous amounts of *****.
- aadyss, on 10/11/2007, -1/+0As stated by an individual accepting a childrens philosophy. Man, being an athesist is really easy. Come from nothing, going nowhere...cool!
- nyx210, on 10/11/2007, -8/+14I wonder if they'll be selling a Flying Spaghetti Monster action figure. Maybe it can face off with my Invisible Pink Unicorn.
- NYC10004, on 10/11/2007, -10/+4Can you get anymore angry and bitter?
- jimmoses, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8I don't sense anger or bitterness in nyx's post.. you seem to be projecting.
- soil, on 10/11/2007, -7/+4Do you really believe that Jesus didn't exist? Or do you just believe that the miracle stories are fanciful and imaginary?
- Leathersoup, on 10/11/2007, -3/+3Do you really believe that Jesus was a supernatural being? Santa's real too!!! Really!!!
- ubuwalker31, on 10/11/2007, -1/+11I believe that Jesus existed...but I just think he was a nice rabbi and philosopher. And the miracle stories are the work of the over-active imaginations of his followers.
For example, I know Chabad Lubavich Jews who seriously believe that Reb. Menachem Schneerson is the messiah and actually performed miracles...of course, this is totally ridiculous, and these people are completely out of their minds, but when you try to explain that this is how Christianity started, they look at you with confused expressions...and say stuff like, "no really, I saw him cure someone with my own eyes."
Anyhow, back on topic, I thought graven images of g-d weren't allowed by the bible...even in Christianity...so what gives with all the Jesus statutes (which I can understand there being some sort of exception for under canon law) and dolls?- btgoss, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Nice post.
Jesus was more "modern" then the other Rabbis'.... which is funny.. Jesus was a progressive, and now most Conservatives think they are doing Jesus' work.
- btgoss, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Nice post.
- NYC10004, on 10/11/2007, -10/+4Can you get anymore angry and bitter?
- timusca, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8It can't walk on water, but its made of plastic, so I'm sure it will float.
- SavageBlackCat, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7I want Malibu Mohammed in a pink thong waving the rainbow PRIDE flag.
- CorpT, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4It comes with a free suicide bomb vest accessory.
- Asianwaste, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4I'd so pit Jesus against my old WWF action figures.
- TheUngod, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5You could make a Jesus/Barbie sex video...Team America style!
- Asianwaste, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4If that's what gets your motor going.
- swizzcheez, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Yeah, but I really want the "Jesus of Nazareth: Action Playset", complete with barn, asses, angels, temple, etc. Oh yeah, and where are the villan figures? I mean, what good is it if there's noone to battl?
- HBNDonut, on 10/11/2007, -3/+11I'm going for the karate chop action Jesus that turns purple underwater!

"...he killed a lion with his bare-hands; he killed 30 men in one night without any weapons; and he even used the jawbone of a donkey to single-handedly defeat one thousand men!" He is Samson Spirit Warrior!
Hell, I want one.- PhoneGuy, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Isn't it supposed to say 'jawbone of an ass'?
- pistonhonda, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1"God had blessed him with this incredible gift, but it was all based on one condition: he could not cut his hair."
Actually, Samson had taken a Nazarite vow, so his strength was based on three conditions: he could not cut his hair, he could not touch a dead body, and he could not eat any grapes or drink wine. - MrHatchetFace, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0"...It is said that he and his blue ox, Babe, were so large that their footsteps created Minnesota's ten thousand lakes."
- itspuddingtime, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0that's SAMSON, smarty-pants!
- PATSCRU, on 10/11/2007, -14/+21i wish these were around in my GI Joe burning days....my hairspray and zippo lighter and Aquanet escapades could have been so much more satisfying.
- Alpione, on 10/11/2007, -10/+5So you're looking to burn a figure of Jesus? Classy...
- cababika799, on 10/11/2007, -6/+3You wish to burn him....he wishes to burn you...ironic...haha
- Xanadude, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6Jesus wants to burn people?
- jimmoses, on 10/11/2007, -1/+0yay, go go god of love!
- cababika799, on 10/11/2007, -6/+3You wish to burn him....he wishes to burn you...ironic...haha
- aliengoods, on 10/11/2007, -2/+2It's never too late to burn Jesus.
- Alpione, on 10/11/2007, -10/+5So you're looking to burn a figure of Jesus? Classy...
- Leach, on 10/11/2007, -4/+34Now if only I could get a breakfast cereal with marshmallow Jesus pieces, also the milk turns to wine.
- geekwithsoul, on 10/11/2007, -2/+2Funny -- I laughed so hard I almost choked on my manna!
- snakemistakes, on 10/11/2007, -22/+34was I the only one who noticed this?
"420 Stores Will Carry Line Of Faith-Based Toys"- fotbr, on 10/11/2007, -18/+25I'm sure you're not the only pothead that thinks its cool that your magic number showed up on the internet.
Its a ***** number, thats all. Get over yourselves.- JenadaeXX, on 10/11/2007, -7/+9Someone has a stick up their ass
- Dubbsacc, on 10/11/2007, -5/+8Haterade refill, aisle 4
- MikeFromAmerica, on 10/11/2007, -6/+3Maybe. But why is that significant? Wal-Mart has a lot of stores.
- ruley, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7i think the point he was making was that 420 Stores sounds like a chain of head shops
- Suplyndmnd, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4Unfortunately, no, that was the first thing I noticed too. You would think they would make it 419 or 421 or 430 stores. It makes it extra funny that it's a story about Jesus Action Figures though.
- jtmeyer, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0yeah. i couldn't stop giggling.
- fotbr, on 10/11/2007, -18/+25I'm sure you're not the only pothead that thinks its cool that your magic number showed up on the internet.
- Iwantawii, on 10/11/2007, -3/+37How about a Buddy Christ action figure?!
- hockeyisgd, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5I think viewaskew.com sells one
- tcissell, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2http://jayandsilentbob.com/budchrisdass1.html
- shifty2, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Here are some more in the works:
Ganesha w/ rocket firing trunk action
Noah w/ Limited Edition Battle Arc
Shiva w/ 6 arm karate chopping action
Moses w/ swinging 10 Commandment tablets and burning bush attachment
5 pack of Exodus Jew Crew figures- Jonjonr6, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0No not the Jew Crew!
LOL
- Jonjonr6, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0No not the Jew Crew!
- geekchic, on 10/11/2007, -1/+26They could issue a version with inflatable feet for that "realistic" walking on water effect.
- ColtRevolvers, on 10/11/2007, -3/+24The new Jesus action figure, With soul saving action!
- TheNapalm, on 10/11/2007, -17/+5I have no words for how dumb this is! :|
- swooshonln, on 10/11/2007, -20/+9Its because all the Mexicans that are coming into the country. u know its true...
- thirdman, on 10/11/2007, -5/+4Is it casual racism hour already?
- SpaceMonkeyZero, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1My supermarket has an entire aisle dedicated to Goya products and those prayer candles with suffering christ and Mary.
(As an American with Italian ancestry, the Goya brand Spanish (from Spain!) Extra Virgin Olive Oil is the best around!)- Pyrogen, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Ah, yes, the "ethnic section." Where on one side you find Suffering Christ Candles and Air Fresheners (?!) and the other you find Violet Crumble and Aero bars.
- SpaceMonkeyZero, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1My supermarket has an entire aisle dedicated to Goya products and those prayer candles with suffering christ and Mary.
- Ugoff, on 10/11/2007, -4/+5Yeah, because the bible belt (where most likely a majority of these 420 stores are located) wasn't so religious until the Mexicans came in.
- thirdman, on 10/11/2007, -5/+4Is it casual racism hour already?
- Albionshores, on 10/11/2007, -18/+49Oh the irony....
First take pillaged war oil and turn it into plastic, then manufacture oil based toys overseas (at the cost of American jobs), mold into religious figures and sell for commercial gain in stores that destroy communities and create serfdom through globalisation.
Jesus would be trashing temple 'Walmart' right now.- MeMongo, on 10/11/2007, -1/+11Not to mention the fact that the movies and CDs are special versions that wal-mart's censorship board has approved. They also won't sell non-nudity magazines like Maxim or Stuff because they are "upholding community standards". The reality is that they are defining community standards with their own skewed morality.
- Tzeentch, on 10/11/2007, -2/+4That's what I was thinking... The salesmen are back in the temple.
- leighj, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2No the temple is the store. Look on a Sunday (or Saturday or any day of supposed religious observance whatever you're preference) see who worships at the almighty Walmart. For the ultimate watch those who RUSH out of church on Sunday to beat the crowds at Walmart, PRICELESS.
- sonofthor, on 10/11/2007, -3/+0Except Wal-Mart provides decent jobs to a lot of low income people, something I think Jesus would support.
- Albionshores, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Decent jobs you reckon? Really?? Really, really???

- Albionshores, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Decent jobs you reckon? Really?? Really, really???
- Speedy7, on 10/11/2007, -3/+8Jesus-man!, the greatest hero of them all... (Actionman tune)
- HeatherH88, on 10/11/2007, -1/+24"Go ahead! Cast the first stone!"
- Novagenesis, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7"Do you feel lucky, Rabbi? Well do ya?"
- lindajeff, on 10/11/2007, -4/+3Mirror and other photos of the Jesus and Samson figures:
http://www.product-reviews.net/2007/07/17/jesus-religious-action-figures-wal-marts-selling/ - 0ceanic, on 10/11/2007, -7/+3im gonna go to that isle, and speak in tongues. or steal the toys. i dont know which would be more ironic.
- MeMongo, on 10/11/2007, -1/+9that would be "aisle". An "isle" is where Gilligan was stranded.
- SpaceMonkeyZero, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2I read somewhere that the most stolen book from Libraries and bookstores is the Bible...
- hankidic, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1Jesus!!!
- Mockylock, on 10/11/2007, -2/+0I'm pretty sure they already sold Noah's ark toys and such. I guess it's not too much different.
- Albionshores, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Do all the animals fit in the ark and does it have seperate compartments for carnivores and non carnivores?
- DeathGod321, on 10/11/2007, -1/+21With a few bottlerockets, Jesus could have a very cool jet-pack...
- ryanissuper, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Jesus can already fly. He has a magic turtleneck.
- cerbsm, on 10/11/2007, -11/+22This is awful. Other religions would be offended, funny how Christianity always get's mocked.
- therightside, on 10/11/2007, -17/+11Didnt you know Christians are the evil people of the earth, and Islam is the peaceful religions? thats what the digg told me
- DruSam, on 10/11/2007, -6/+24In general, Christians can take a joke a lot better than other religions.
- rainergamer, on 10/11/2007, -4/+1...what?
- akeating, on 10/11/2007, -2/+2No, that's not what this is about. They just don't realize they're making a mockery of themselves. Maybe we're less intelligent, or maybe there's just more Christians, so there's more idiots.
- JonnyTrombone, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4Have you never met a Reform Jew? I'm pretty they constitute 90% of stand-up comedians.
- swizzcheez, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3Exception to prove the rule. :)
Really though, most of the Christians I know are okay with faith jokes. It's when the jokes turn decidedly mean that they get offended. (From an agnostic who does make numerous biting remarks from time to time, in case it matters.) - Jonjonr6, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0No no no, He said "take a joke" not "make a joke"
- swizzcheez, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3Exception to prove the rule. :)
- cababika799, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6It's not awful. I don't know how deeply this particular thing falls into the "thou shall have no graven image" command. Maybe they should leave the hero's of the Bible in but take Jesus out.
- darthmdh, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8They already tried to take Jesus out once, didn't quite work.
- member57, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3It's fine as long as you don't worship the toys.
- akeating, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Right, but I'm afraid parents will start to treat the toys as idols ("Don't leave Jesus on the floor!") and that'll lead to a whole mess of problems.
- darthmdh, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8They already tried to take Jesus out once, didn't quite work.
- ryanissuper, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3We're not the ones making religious action figures. If the Muslims, in earnest, made action figures, I would make fun of them too.
- PropCulture, on 10/11/2007, -12/+17I'd buy these only for the opportunity to photograph them in sexually deviant positions.
- chicofaraby, on 10/11/2007, -21/+54Perfect. Jesus belongs next to Spiderman and Yu Gi Oh. Children need imaginary superheroes.
- hikinthru, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I thought he was, oh no.
- unusualbob, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1you should of put some sort of warning there, i almost spewed dr. pepper on my keyboard.
- jason469, on 10/11/2007, -4/+6A Chuck Norris action figure would PWN ALL.
- stenhard, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1They made one in a factory in China. It kicked it's way out of the packaging, destroyed the factory and disappeared, heading west. This is why GWB isn't particular concerned with where Bin Laden is. He knows that at 1/6th scale it may take a little longer to reach the Tora Bora region, but then it's only a matter of time....
- themacx, on 10/11/2007, -3/+1poor Barbi....
- AnonymousCow, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1....e
- Pensador, on 10/11/2007, -4/+9GI Jesus.
- wedderburn, on 10/11/2007, -11/+7what a freak country.
- mediaspree, on 10/11/2007, -1/+10I'll take the Jesus Christ Superstar edition with faith mic.
- JeyNyce, on 10/11/2007, -6/+3They selling Jesus again,
They selling Jesus again,
They want your soul, and your money
Blood and your bones!
from the Strange Days soundtrack - Llance, on 10/11/2007, -6/+7I am thinking of starting my own line of pan-belief system toys. I think I'll call the line... "Holy Crap".
- Llance, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1Digg me down you humorless bastards. Just remember that when the theocracy is upon us you'll be first against the wall. Muaaahahaha!!!1!one-eleventy!
- AnarchyReigns, on 10/11/2007, -5/+2Plastic dolls + microwave = very interesting results. Time for you to meet your maker, GI Jesus.
- Ugoff, on 10/11/2007, -2/+3Jesus died in the holy microwave and ascended into heaven. On the third day, he returned to the holy microwave to the amazement of all the apostles.
- ryanissuper, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1That would turn me into a believer!
- Ugoff, on 10/11/2007, -2/+3Jesus died in the holy microwave and ascended into heaven. On the third day, he returned to the holy microwave to the amazement of all the apostles.
- kprooney, on 10/11/2007, -3/+2"real forgiving action! kapow!"
- Seanobi, on 10/11/2007, -5/+9Do these count as "Idols?"
- Psych77, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3Why? Are you planning on worshiping and serving them?
- laelfrog, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6Not until Apple produces the iDol - Its better than the iPhone, you can call heaven!
- akeating, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Not until people treat them as such. I think they're just toys until people start saying "Don't you dare leave your Lord and God on the floor like that!"
- godfly, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1it's available at mindgames - toronto eaton centre - dundas stn side.
- PsionicBeing, on 10/11/2007, -9/+2Jesus: Look dad! a action figure of me!
God: Why cant i have a action figure... the holy spirit gets one
Holy Spirit: hey hey, leave me outta this
Jesus: Well your the one that never wants to show them how you look like.
God: Well they have the Zeus version of me! They can you know, make us into like transformers, and like we all can join to be one awesome strong thing battling the forces of evil! And we can have like my voice and all that saying "THIS IS THE VOICE OF GOD" you know like the only reason people do a john connery voice is to say "john connery" it'd be coo like that
Holy Spirit & Jesus: [look away embarrassed]- LeroyHamill, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0Oh, you almost had it...the Holy Trinity joins together to form...Voltron!
- LeroyHamill, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0Oh, you almost had it...the Holy Trinity joins together to form...Voltron!
- irvin666, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6Does this mean that were going to see "Jesus" to "Jesus™" ?
Is Jesus even considered public domain?- Jonjonr6, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Ironically, the Jews own the rights.
- dgh1973, on 10/11/2007, -5/+16Doesn't this get dangerously close to idolatry?
The money is obviously going back to a church group of some kind.
And I think Albionshores has a real point here... this is filled with unmitigated levels of irony that we can't even begin to shake a stick at.
Lame.- cababika799, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1I kinda have to agree. I think that it's good that kids have historical heros...but I'm not sure that the Bible is supposed to be taken so lightly as to put the people into children's play things.
- rainergamer, on 10/11/2007, -3/+1eu contraire. It is. (referring to cababika799)
- Psych77, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3And ignorance continues daily. There are a number of different translations / interpretations of the commandments, all along the same lines. You can use "image" and the command is not to worship or serve it, or you can have "idol", the definition of which is something you worship. As long as you're not worshiping these toys I don't see how it can be an issue. If it were you'd need to ensure you throw out any crucifixes, rosaries, paintings of Jesus, etc, etc.
- princessangry, on 10/11/2007, -8/+3and trailer park soccer moms are buying these in bulk.
- Alpione, on 10/11/2007, -3/+3"Trailer park" and "soccer mom" is an oxymoron... Moron...
- princessangry, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2uhh yah they are they are called britney spears and yo momma!
- SpaceMonkeyZero, on 10/11/2007, -3/+6Trailer Parks and Soccer Moms don't mix.
Trailer Park = Hicks.
Soccer Moms = Suburbs.- Ridikul, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2Yeah, all the moms in trailer parks are whores.
- princessangry, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1nope they drive minivans and have the same conservative values like soccer moms so same difference. LOL
- Jonjonr6, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0All I know is the soccer moms charge me more, but usually clean up afterwards.
- Alpione, on 10/11/2007, -3/+3"Trailer park" and "soccer mom" is an oxymoron... Moron...

- cababika799, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1So wrong....
- jessicass, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Then I don't wanna be right..
- cababika799, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1So wrong....
- ladyarcher85, on 10/11/2007, -2/+14The last time someone sold Jesus it ended with the Crucifixion.
I'll just sit, wait and see what would happen next.- MeMongo, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2Back then it was the Jews, this time it's Christians.
By the way, I'm not saying "Jews" in a bad way. I'm using it as in "people of Jewish faith". - ThePict, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1I logged in just to digg you up.
- amoirae, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1What happens when someone marks down Jesus?

- insanebrain, on 10/11/2007, -3/+1Is this the image that gave the catholic church the idea to do something with children ???
- tehpyro, on 10/11/2007, -5/+4Funny how you can sell action figures with swords, chains and big ***** but as soon as you sell an action figure of jesus the world points it out like a crime.
- dildoolielly, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2I don't see any action figures of the Tooth Fairy either? Whats the difference?
- jeehalte, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1True, I would like to see the gods from the Greeks.
- 16777216, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Personally I want action figures of the old gods of the Necronomicon.

more powerful than Lucifer
able to leap transgressions in a single bound
LOOK up in the sky its SUPER JESUS
Pontius Pilot action figure sold separately - chillmandan, on 10/11/2007, -5/+9Everyone talks about religious tolerance, but when it comes to promoting Christianity, everyone gets up in arms.
- Iamnotwhoiam, on 10/11/2007, -2/+2Promoting and pointing out the pluses of any religion is fine.
Selling an action figure of any religious deity is not.
The Graven images verse comes to mind- chillmandan, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3I'll agree, I was speaking more in generalities than focusing on this action figure. Because it seems that a lot of liberal "tolerant" people, especially on Digg and the rest of the Internet, have no problem bashing Christianity, despite their tolerant nature.
- Psych77, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1Please quote that verse. Then you can add a comment about how this in no way resembles a transgression of that verse.
- Albionshores, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2If you want to promote Christianity by making a profit out of oil-based toys, with regards to what has happened in recent years in the name of oil, then be my naive guest, but you should pay close attention to the real message you are selling; war, exploitation and profit.
- chillmandan, on 10/11/2007, -5/+1And i guess we should stop going to hospitals because they use oil based plastics in almost all their medical procedures.
- 16777216, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2Exactly! I never want you to go to the hospital again. ( Searches for hammer. )
- Albionshores, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2World of difference from using a product needed to save lives and making an unecessary plastic product to make a buck in the form of a symbol in direct conflict with what that symbol is meant to represent. Maybe my version of the bible is outdated or maybe some people don't realise the impact their daily gross intake costs the world, just to keep them in their naive MTV bubble. A diocese has just got through paying off a load of molested children to help protect its 'we don't molest' image. Strange times.

- kurtwinter, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1This is digg, and last I heard the following religions were tolerated: 1. FSM, 2. Subgenius, 3. None of the Above.
- iamlutheran, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0You forgot Atheism. Atheism is a religion whether you want to admit it or not.
- sunshinemonster, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1This is just like WWJD bracelets, people trying to make a buck off Jesus. An important question, do these toys really teach anyone anything about Jesus?
- ardklg, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0I try to live by the teachings of Jesus (often not doing a very good job), and I don't think this promotes Christianity at all. A net acquaintance of mine posted a bit of a rant about something similar several years ago on usenet. I used his words as my rant on my blog today:

- Drgn547, on 10/11/2007, -8/+3Since Wal*Mart stopped selling guns, I've stopped buying ammunition and targets there as well. Nice to see their stocking more interesting targets now.
- Derrekito, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1They still sell guns.
- Mommy2Lots, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Yeah, they still sell guns. I just saw them there the other day. Maybe only some Wal-Mart's don't sell them? Not sure. But, I hadn't heard anything about them stopping the sale of guns.
- givinupthefight, on 10/11/2007, -1/+0It goes state to state, depending on how strict that state's laws for guns are. Chances are if your local Wal-Mart did sell guns and then stopped, it was because of a change in gun laws in your state, not because Wal-Mart just decided to stop. Wal-Marts in Jersey for example have never sold guns.
As for your comment about using these as targets...I wouldn't trust you with a gun.
- storminnorman, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2oh come on, sure its great to make fun of but you know if it makes one kid read the bible and do a little of his own thinking its a good deal. whether the kid decides its crap or not. those of you who say its ironic or idolatry probably haven't stepped foot in a church in a long time. or your the same ones digging up every atheist story that comes down the pike.
- chillmandan, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1....so true.
- InetRoadkill, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2I don't care if it rains or freezes, as long as I got my plastic Jesus glued to the dashboard of my car.
- zevgreen, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3WOW!!!! They are all white!!!!!
Figures..- iamlutheran, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0Jesus Christ is not white. He has olive-coloured skin but that is not important.
- Jonjonr6, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0Well, yeah...
What are they supposed to look like? Jews?
That just wouldn't be very authentic.
