Do you think that once these toys reach the UK they will help to increase the popularity of Christianity within this increasingly secular society?

Clarkson had a talking Jesus on his North Pole trip. It had an American accent ??!!
Can't see it catching on:
Kid: And Goliath knocks out Jesus with a body slam
Christian Dad: No son. Goliath was killed by David
Kid: I'm just having fun Dad
CD: Son, if your going to play with these toys, you must enact each story correctly
Kid: Where's my Nintendo again???

I saw some in Vegas a couple of years ago in a joke toy shop. Unless they change the marketing ploy they dont look like theyll be successful. And a doll on its own wont make any one religious or moral, there has to be an explanation and example to follow
My sis has a nodding Jesus though. But she was already religious

It doesn't sound too promising! It would depend, I suppose, on exactly what the toys are. I've bought my God-daughter "pop-up" books and another couple of books where a toy lamb was on a piece of elastic and could be used to follow through some bible stories. She loved them, and although she didn't really get the point at the time, they have held her interest and even now, at 7, she likes to read the books herself and it helps her to learn about the bible.

No, it will just be another reason for atheists and other faiths to claim that Christianity is only interested in money. I personally think it's a bad idea that will only reduce the credibility of Christianity in the public's view.

Im hoping children in the UK arent that easy to distract...
LOL. Talking Jesus doll.
Im playing this game right now on Xbox360 - Call of Juarez. The main character is a priest - your weapon is a bible and a gun. If you get into a gunfight, you can bust out the bible and start preaching - and it confuses the other gunfighters, making it easier for you to kill them. Now THATS incorporating religion into playing games! LOL!!!

No, i think they'll get tossed aside just like all the other toys do once the novelty wears off or the next new thing comes along.

Is "Christianity" some kind of American Corporation?
Why is it targeting children so hard all of a sudden?
Isn't it better to raise children without indoctrination of any kind (including Darwinism) and let them choose for themselves what to believe when they themselves are ready?
