Cast that first stone with the Jesus Slingshot.
I feel just terrible that I didn't learn of this until weeks after our regional Confirmation service. It would have made such a lovely gift for the youth. Maybe next year.

An article today about the many items being marketed for the Pope's forthcoming visit to Philadelphia.
There is a lot to choose from, but I think my favorite is:
quote:
...the pope-shaped mozzarella that will be available at Pastificio in South Philadelphia. Owners Anthony Messina and Frank Sangiuliano commissioned artist Larry Buss to make the mold.
"I see that being a centerpiece at the table decorated with some tomatoes and basil," Messina said. He's taken 80 advance orders at $20 apiece.

Over at fiverr.com, where people do all sorts of things for five bucks, there's "I will have Jesus send you a custom video from Heaven".
quote:
Bethlehem in tha house!!! That's right, the son of God has a Fiverr account! Imagine the possibilities, they're endless! But for now, most folks just seem to want Christ our Lord and Savior to wish their friends/family a "Happy Birthday" or inform children their pet is in heaven with me, chillin.
So, for a video Christmas card, would he sing "Happy Birthday to Me"?

Inspired by this thread on the prosperity gospel, I came across the wonderful board game for aspiring televangelists: Fleece the flock. It appears not to be on general sale anymore, but you can pick up a second hand copy from some online retailers.

From the Pope Benedict XVI Fan Club, the t-shirt that is but a stroke away from being an awful typo. Though the most cynical may argue that it would be apt.
