The old Gadgets for God thread seems to have disappeared, but Episcopal Priest Barbie was just too wonderful to let pass.

That there's a taliban welcoming good and decent American citizens in the afterlife does come as a bit of a shock.

From the same site:
"Jesus and Flamingo Shower/Bath Gel" - an unlikely combination. But wait: there's more! Yes, "Jesus contains 50ml of scented shower/bath gel" (who'd have thunk!), yet, as they claim, is "SOLD OUT". Unsurprisingly though, as with £1.00 it was certainly cheaper than 30 pieces of silver. Nor do you have to kill yourself afterwards. Which is always a good thing, I reckon.

I have to admit I found this rather tempting, but then I came up with a bunch of questions.
I do wonder how well it grinds the peppercorns. Also why they chose to depict the BVM in ebony? And does it dispense both salt and pepper or merely grind whichever (which assumes the salt is in chunky form) you put into it?
Kitsch is one thing, lack of information on a website selling something is another.

Whoops! I had checked the "Death" category, so I wondered how I missed it. I see it is under "Home and Garden". Somehow, that makes it funnier.

I was just bemused that they would be considered part of his wardrobe. "Today Jesus is sporting a lovely little woolly number..." But I just had another look and noticed the T-shirt that says "God, guns and guts made America free". Now I'm disturbed.

More for halloween at this site. Amongst other things, the wigs are just fab!
For those unfamiliar with the contemporary images of Jesus which are readily accessible all over the interwebz, this handy reminder is included:
quote:
What Does Jesus Looks Like?
Jesus is portrayed in the Bible and most photos as a man with shoulder-length brown hair, a full beard, wearing a mid-calf lenght white robe and sandals. In some pictures he is portrayed wearing a blue sash with this ensemble also.
The Bible references Jesus as a shepherd also, so in some instances he is pictured with a large staff, or rugged stick, in his hand.
In historical recordings, Jesus was crucified on a cross, resulting in some pictures portraying him with holes in his feet and the palms of his hands. In addition to the holes, he often is seen wearing a crown of thorns that the Romans put on his head when they placed him on the cross.

Wow, there're a *lot* of those.
Special style names that caught my eye were
"I Am Knock Off" and, in the "Life of Christ" section of neckties there were two little-known incidents depicted from Jesus's life - "Jesus prays with sheep" and "Metallic head of Christ".

I don't think anyone's posted the delightful merchandise from Donkey Products (in Germany). I was at a concert this evening, and in the gift shop I found Holy Family Teabags! These were such wonderful Gadgets for God that I came home to check out their website, where I also found a Crucifixion Cookie Cutter and some interestingly-shaped "holy" soaps. Strangest of all -- the Breast Tree Ball ![[Eek!]](eek.gif)

Fabulous finds, Pigwidgeon. The Crucifixion Cookie Cutter would make delightful treats for the reception after Easter services, don't you think?
