Fresh from The Daily Mash is this amusing tale of American Christianity that is surreal enough to be true or at least a great marketing opportunity :

BIBLICAL TOYS TO INCLUDE GAY ACTION FIGURE AND A BAG OF SMALL STONES

THE makers of the faith-based toys taking America by storm are to produce a gay action figure that children can ‘stone to death’ in accordance with scripture.

Parents across the US are spending hundreds of dollars on toys depicting Moses, Goliath, Noah and even the Whore of Babylon.

Now the manufacturers want to combine playtime with biblical morality lessons by marketing a small, plastic gay man that can be stoned to death safely on the kitchen floor.

A spokesman for the Association for Christian Retail, said: “These toys are not just about having fun, they can also be used to tell children about the warmth of God’s love.

“Children can pose the action-figure Moses in so many ways. As long as they don’t pose him masturbating or fellating a burly Egyptian soldier, that’s okay with us.”

I half expect to see that over at Christwire.org sometime soon you know – if you are not familiar with the place then have a look here and here for example.
