“Christian” beads are spiritually superior than the evil, unsaved, heathen beads of the world?

Chris from A Little Leaven has featured this product and he asks some great questions:

FAITH BEADS

“Was there a problem with the secular beading market? Were young girls being lead into a life of sin by ‘worldly’ and ‘satanic’ beading supplies? Was there really a need for Christian beads to be offered in order to protect young Christian girls from the evil influences of the secular beads? Furthermore, we’d like to know what exactly makes these beads Christian?”

Does the “W” really stand for “Watch?”

Here’s the website selling the official I Worship Watch Joel Osteen lapel pin. It’s just another example of our bloated excess as the Western Church lives in the comfortable lap of luxury.

I wonder how many Christians who are going without food in their stomachs or Scriptures in their hands in the poorest parts of India are going to order this as a Christmas present. I wonder how many Christians who are fleeing from Mulsims trying to kill them, or who are being tortured in a communist prison cell are itching to get their hands on this.

Can we expect WWJD (What Would Joel Do?) anytime soon?

Rubber Ducky Nativity set.

As you have seen lately, God is being used to make money on products that only those who worship at the altar of Churchianity would purchase. Since the commercialism of Christmas is already underway, (and has been since September in some stores), what better way to celebrate the Christmas season than with useless “Christian” junk?

You’ve seen the Colors of Faith Ducky and the Angel Duckies and their counterparts the Devil Duckies. But now, thanks to Oriental Trading, we have the Rubber Ducky Nativity Set complete with baby Jesus as a little ducky.

What better way to teach your kids the meaningfulness of Christmas than by displaying the Ducky Nativity Set in your home today?

And for our Jewish friends there’s Hanukkah Hacky Sacs and Hannukkah wristbands (to wipe your sweaty forehead) to help cheapen the Jewish holiday too.

The “Christian” psychic . . . uh, I mean prophet . . . and his prophetic soap.

Want to be a Christian but don’t want to give up your love of psychics and psychic readings? Well now you don’t have to. Thanks to self-proclaimed psychic prophet Bishop E. Bernard Jordan, if you “donate” $50 you will receive a live-streaming “prophecy” in which the “company of prophets will call your name and prophesy to you into the camera while you watch.” Can’t afford $50? Then send your “$37 faith offering and receive your personal, tailer-made prophetic word from the prophet Jordan, in his own voice, on CD.”

Also, did you know that “the Bible is the greatest success manual ever written?” According to Bishop Jordan, applying the principles found in the Bible will transform you from a believer to an achiever.

And finally, what would any self-respecting psychic prophet be without his own line of prophet soap? That’s right! You can now order bars of soap that “will cause you to experience the prophetic in a way you would never expect.”

I enjoy the mild aroma of the Prophetic Awareness Soap , but I prefer the way the Prosperity Soap leaves my skin feeling soft and fresh.
