New! Jesus Sports Statues. When you saw the Buddy Christ idea in the movie Dogma you thought it was a funny, yet biting swipe at the Catholic Church. But apparently Catholics think it's a great idea. These figurines have already sold out. Jesus playing tackle football is my favorite.

My favorite is the one where Jesus is using his significant height advantage to launch a towering skyhook.

A friend of mine once told me how she stumbled across a website selling dildos in the shape and image of biblical figures...I wish I had a link (maybe its better that I don't). I guess the caption for the Judas dildo was "Get screwed by the guy who screwed Christ."

That's Divine Interventions [note: sacriligeous and obscene link -- woo hoo!].

Did anyone but me read the "sports" in "Jesus Sports Statues" as a verb? As in, Jesus has suddenly started sprouting statues all over his body? Man, what a weird mental image.

Several Jestful Jesus products were posted during Jeremy's $50 giveaway contest. Is that what you're thinking of?

"i *know* this is a main page mefi repost........" I searched. Didn't find anything. Sorry. Since these are selling so fast, I suspect the "Buddy Christ" statues will start getting mixed up with the sports statues. Fun to think that Kevin Smith has take the Church in a whole new direction. Hilarity ensues.

Although this isn't a mefi front page repost, it (as well as tons of other things that have been posted here) always seem to be pre-empted by weeks or even months at Rogers' Cruel Site Of The Day. I knew he wouldn't post the address for fear of self-linking, but I will....

They need a Spelunking Jesus. He did escape from a cavern tomb after all.

Don't forget the very nice artwork at my favorite devotional site, Jesus of the Week.

Spelunking Jesus... That sounds like it should be one of the dildos.

I don't know... I think Basketball Jesus is just playing keep-away with those kids. "Come on, Jesus! Give us our ball back!" "10 Hail Mary's, and I'll think about it."

those statues and pictures are nothing new. they actually date back to the 50's. Jesus was pictured helping children in various secular activities. i'm pretty sure i had one on my wall when i was but a wee wee tot.

They should have Water Polo Jesus -- getting dunked by John the Baptist!

As my friend Alex said when I posted this link on my page a few weeks ago, even Jesus won't play lacrosse.

Does Jesus use a golf cart? No, not even when going over water hazards.

What a way to have your guests laugh for hours. These here figurines quite do the duty of RULE! I want one, particularly the hockey one. But indeed they are all bought up. All of them presumably by the world's goths who inexplicably just might have a sense of humor.

ktheory, your image of John the Baptist dunking JC in a game of water polo almost had me spewing my mouthful of coffee all over my monitor. I thank you for that!

What about the kid trying to block Football Jesus? How futile is that?

if this weren't being sold by "catholic supply" i would definitely order the football jesus. something about tackling jesus seems really funny to me for some reason.
