So, you decide you want to buy your child a doll that doesn’t look like a slut muffin (Bratz or Barbie dolls) but you can’t quite bring yourself to violate the second commandment by buying the talking Jesus doll, how about trying one of these? They talk and quote Scripture and are kind of cute. And you have the added benefit of a teaching moment when you explain proper hermeneutical methods to your child. (“This is what a literal interpretation looks like, we don’t usually interpret the Bible this woodenly. Genre is important and this passage is clearly a metaphor.”)
Now, if I were to buy one of these (and I could be tempted to get one if I were teaching Sunday School) I would definitely have to get the girl doll. It sounds like a little girl and that makes it pretty cute. The boy doll on the other hand? Um…well…ur you might want to go listen for yourself. My suggestion? They might want to hire a child actor to read the part of the boy doll.
The price is a little steep, I generally wouldn’t spend over $25 for a doll but they’re obviously not mass produced in China so you should be willing to pay more for a safe toy that doesn’t contain lead paint.
