Cookies for the quote.

I believe that would be Better Off Dead with John Cusak... Do I gets a tasty cookie now?

Oh people are stupid.Usually the people that say things like that woman are the ones beating and molesting children. But remember you're the bad one for letting him have that doll. Tell people like that bitch to mind her own business.

What I have to say about D&D and the idiots that say it's Satanic, serial killers play it, etc., etc. is best left to Fratching, the main web page as I haven't written about this subject ... yet

I haven't seen Cute-thulu, but now I want to!

My daughter has confiscated her father's stuffed Chuthulu. She used to use it as a chew toy (when she was teething ). But she does sometimes sleep with it now.

Well, that's a little general and judgmental, don't you think? Not all Christians or hard core bible thumpers beat their children or molest them, and not everyone who beats their child or molests kids is a fundie or Christian.

Some of the comments in this thread so far have come a little close to fratching territory.
It's such a fine line when the subject touches on religious beliefs.

Let's stick to discussing this one sucky customer in particular, and her reaction to the doll, maybe, and leave the rest of the fundies and Christians alone.

I believe I've heard that.

What a total Asshat that woman is.. seriously! *sigh* I personally think it would be kick arse to have a Flying Spaghetti Monster Plush Toy.. Must look into that!

Though whenever I tell people about his noodlely goodness I get a couple of reactions, from laughter, awe, eye rolling, anger, ranting and occasionally frothing at the mouth... which is sad!

To say nothing of Harry Potter. Some people - who I have fortunately never met in person - have this fixation that anything to do with "magic" is automatically devil-worship and should be banned on those grounds.

And yet the Spiderwick Chronicles, which, from seeing the movie, is/are significantly closer to actual supernatural lore, got totally ignored because they didn't use the 'M' word or the 'W' word.

That, and I never would've picked up Harry Potter if my mother hadn't been curious about what all the fuss was about and picked up a copy of Sorcerer's Stone.

She also thinks Lord of the Rings is demonic, though...

Just tell her that the writer of LotR is a devout catholic. My mother thought this too, until she actually read the books (she borrowed mine). Now she an LotR geek, she can quote stuff from minor characters....

Unfortunately my father is still like this, everything is demonic if involves demons/devils/gods/etc... When he brings up my D&D playing, I bring up his movie watching. No difference in paying someone else to play "evil" than you playing "evil".

[Mamadrae]

You know...people say magic is either nonexistant or evil...where the heck do the miracles come from then eh? The white horse with the black roman on it?

What I truely boggle at is the need to shove this at everyone. Seriously how many people have converted to whatever really via force? Does that even count when your just going through the motions in order to not deal with people's whining.

However, this is not ranting time. I do however wish these people would keep their views to their protests on the town's Protest Corner and in their bible study groups. Instead of snipping them at innocent shoppers.

I still remember all the crap I used to get as *gasp!* a Marilyn Manson fan. Yup, there really are people who believe all the hype and I was a fan back when it wasn't very common to be one. I remember this crazy old lady ranting at me in the street, all cuz I was wearing a Manson t-shirt with "I love drugs" on the front. I just couldn't stop laughing at the stuff she was coming up with.

Amazing how many people because they don't understand something or like it just spout off that you are going to hell because of it. Instead of trying to actually educate themselves on the subject before making comments or just keeping their traps shut they have to spout off their views. I've gotten to where I just look at them and say, "Yes I am going to hell, in fact I am driving the Express Bus down there, and according to my preboarding sheet you have a seat all ready reserved on my bus."
To date I have never had anyone respond to me after that.

Reminds me of a time when Catherine and I were discussing something a bit taboo in a less-than-appealing manner. She came up with something that she said was just too horrible to say. My response was "Well, we're already going to hell, we might as well get good seats."

That toy is excessively creepy, and I wouldn't give it to my nieces or nephew because of that, but I don't think you're going to hell or even a bad parent because you did. (I figure if Aunt Mysty is freaked out by their toy, the kids might come up with their own negative thoughts for it, hence.)
