Whoda thunk! Jeebus collectible figurines!
Catholicism has conveniently ignored/thrown out the 2nd commandment (no graven images, yada yada yada), so this doesn't surprise me.

I wonder how he can pitch. Texas could really use him...they haven't got a prayer without some divine intervention.

Ahh, but the Rangers sold their souls to the devil to sign A-Rod. Of course, Jesus could always come out of the bullpen in middle relief and maybe get the save! (rimshot)
A theological question - does the kid tackling "the Lord" in the glurgy little football scenario go straight to hell because he sacked Jesus?

Okay, I'll ask. Even after getting totally beaten up over the "Tantric" thing. What's "Tevas"?
If the answer has anything to do with sea mammals, I really don't want to know.

Fear not, Lisa! Nothing sexual or mammalian here. Just sport sandals.

Why is it that I don't find this material surprising in the least? Is it perhaps that religion and sports reflect the same mentality? Witness all the professional athletes who support and endorse religion. The Orwellian Newspeak term that comes immediately to my mind is "prolefeed."
And what happened to my message icon demon?

Ok, here's a thorny question for this group (no pun intended)...
The Jesus Sports statues are incredibly tacky, in fact, downright gut-wrenching, but what does this fine forum think of "Precious Moments" statuettes?
I take one look at these ubiquitous, sappy, stupid little kids and want to take up skeet shooting. Insulin shots are necessary if you happen to walk by a shelf of these pale, big-eyed encephalic cherubs engaged in some "darling" activity (often involving praying). They can usually be found gathering dust in your favorite crapola emporium (gift shop) or card store (there's a true capitalist invention). God, they are cheesy! I am not a complete cynic or monster (I cry at stupid ads and crappy movies) but I would like to drop a box full of Precious Moments off the tallest building I could find and listen for the delightful *tinkle kersmash* of those little obnoxious brats. Brrrrr - why anyone with even a molecule of taste would collect this stuff is beyond my understanding (hopefully I haven't offended the lurking President of the Precious Moments Collectors Society of Redneckville).
Here's a marketing idea: "Unprecious Moments" - little cutesey statues of kids doing normal kid stuff, like having horrible temper tantrums, looking through Daddy's Playboys, pasting boogers under their chair, kicking their sister/brother in the shin, lighting farts, etc., etc. Now those would be worth collecting...
[For the collection impaired in this forum, Precious Moments are these little pastel statues of children with large eyes and heads, frozen in little tableaux of, well, Preciousness]

Gee, thanks a lot, Rubysue. You've got your Chardonnay, I've got my MGD. And it's going to take quite a few to rid myself of the image of those little urchins. My husband's aunt had a whole freakin' display case filled with that crap. She had to sell them to get money to see her through a health crisis. I relieved she's much better, and tickled that the collection of misbegotten ceramics is history. If anything had happened to her, guess who her sole heir is? You mentioned a tall building. Hey, I live atop a nice tall cliff! No, wait a minute, why piss off the neighbors who live down at the base? Why is it when I see that crap I can suddenly imagine Kathy Lee singing in the background? Arg. Grab another beer and put on my Eminem CD.
(Personally, I collect Swarovski Crystal. It appreciates like crazy, even after 9 years in Germany I can't pronounce it, and besides, they do cool stuff like dragons)

They're evil alien parasites that propagate via the innate human cuteness reflex (big eyes & big head). Don't be taken in by their shallow ploy!
Stamp out cuteness now!

Lisa - I also confess to collecting a few things myself (some Swarovski, Royal Doulton, baseball stuff, a few art pieces), which I naturally consider to be quite tasteful. My mother, dear soul, is enamored with this silly stuff, so I dread the day when she "gifts" me with a Precious Moment or other gagsome monstrosity (an ethical dilemma obviously presented by such a "gift"). You grab an MGD and put on Enimen, I'll go get some Chardonnay and toss on the Shostakovich.
Cheers!
Bozola - Scarrryyy! You are right! "Precious Moments" or "Alien Greys" - they're identical!
