Here's another ridiculous Christian toy called a P31 doll. In case it that doesn't ring a bell, that means Proverbs 31. You can purchase these dolls for 40 bucks here
It is always uncomfortable at the crossroads of capitalism and Christianity.
When I attended this year's Southern Baptist Convention it was really awkward seeing a booth for a company that made & sold communion sets.
It had a giant banner that said "In Remembrance of Me" or something and then had stacks of shiny, polished gold & silver trays and platters.
It's one of those weird things - after all someone has to make & sell the sets we use in church. Yet at the same time it is a fine line between providing a service and exploiting 1 Cor. 11.
my head is killing me too. Did I mention I am a youth pastor? Youth Ministry never pushes the line of capitalism and Christianity... Speaking of, what exactly would Jesus do?
