A CYNICAL LOOK AT THE DAILY GRIND

TRANSFORMERS FOR GOD

Wal-Mart is going to start selling faith-based toys.


It's the first time a full line of religious toys (from One2believe) will be offered at a mass market retailer, other than in specialty religious stores.

The world's largest retailer is targeting parents who would rather their kids play with a Samson action figure than Spider Man.

God only knows, there's a lot to be said for a long-haired, super-strength action figure that can kill tons of Philistines, sleep with a prostitute, and fall in love with a traitor before having his eyes gouged out and sent to grind grain.

A Samson toy is sure to bring down the house.



In the long run, religious toys won't be any different than other toys. They all end up in the bottom of a toy box, while some kids prefer to play with everything they're not supposed to play with.
