CARTHAGE, MO—The popular line of cutesy Precious Moments figurines is getting a long-awaited addition with an upcoming “Conquest of Canaan” series of collectibles, sources confirmed Friday.
The figures will include iconic events from the momentous time in Israel’s history, including the circumcision of all Jewish males encamped at Gilgal, the slaughter of the wicked inhabitants of Jericho, and the stoning of the deceitful pillager Achan.
“We wanted to depict some of the bloody, violent bits of the Bible in an adorable way,” a Precious Moments representative said as she showed off a collectible set of the five corpses of the Amorite kings Joshua put to the sword and publicly hanged before the people. “These are perfect for decorating a nursery or play room.”
According to the representative, Precious Moments’ sculptors went to great lengths to capture the blood and gore in the scenes depicted.
“They weren’t used to working with so much blood,” she said. “We had to order a ton of different shades of red for the details and finish, but rest assured, you’re getting a product that accurately depicts some of the goriest scenes in the Scriptures.
Precious Moments further confirmed the company would be creating additional lines focused on the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, the beheading of John the Baptist, and the assassination of King Eglon.
The Pinkos mock. But all they are doing is bolstering the truth that God’s chosen people belong in the land which he gave to them.

Brutal
Or has Ben Jr. will say, savage.
It’s a joke? Heck, I was about to put in my order for Conquering Caleb, one if my faves!
Or just maybe they are making fun of the kitschy aspect of American religion.
For balance, they could include figures depicting human sacrifice that was popular among enemies of Israel at the time, including the burning alive of children to the false god Baal.
Scripture and "American religion" never seem to fit together.
.
Also Molech, another popular "god" they sacrificed children too.

>> “ including the burning alive of children to the false god Baal.” <<
Which happens to be precisely what “christmas” was always about for millennia.
.
What of Scripture and "Roman religion"? Are they incongruous as well?
.
All false gods are really the same ‘god,’ the sun god that Constantine worshiped all of his life.
.
Most certainly.
.
Well, he did worship on “SUN” day.
.
Exactly.
.
Too true, too often. See pre-trib rapture, eternal torture of the damned, invite Jesus into your heart, etc.
You know it! See Mary worship, iconography, priesthood (father, pope), etc.
Isn't satire suppose to be funny?
Yes, I admit the roots of Christmas are rather dubious, as are all religious holidays that were converted from paganism. I see no aspects other than symbolism which point to paganism in modern day Christmas, however. And the symbols themselves have lost their original (or any) meaning. Christmas trees and their ornaments, for example. Or presents. How many know the origins of what these represent? But more importantly, I think, is how Christ is represented in them. He’s not.
.
As the prophet said, “christians” have inherited lies in their theology.
The very words of Paul that they attempt to use to ‘prove’ the rapture are the ones that explain why it cannot happen.
The very words of Paul that they use in an attempt to reject Torah are words of praise to the Collossians for faithfully keeping it.
Ditto for the Galatians who had adopted the false law of the pharisees, drawing the ire of Paul. They pretend that the Takanot and Ma’assim are equivalent to Torah.
