Company offers 'Jesus' Dress Up' with Satan clothes
email ^ | Donald E. Wildmon

Posted on 03/18/2004 11:14:47 AM PST by hsmomx3

Urban Outfitters is offering a refrigerator magnet set depicting Jesus on the cross.

A variety of clothes for "Jesus Dress Up" include a Satan mask and tights, ballerina, and dogcatcher outfit.

Jesus, wearing only briefs, allows users to "clothe" Christ in a variety of secular outfits. Other articles of clothing are a "beanie" cap, a snorkel, bunny slippers, a tuxedo, and a Dr. Seuss hat.

An employee in a New York City store exclaimed, "We've got tons of them!"

Although the product is not available on their website, you can view a sample of it by clicking here. Take Action Tell Urban Outfitters chairman Richard Hayne to stop this assault on the Christian faith.

Send Your Letter Now!

Sincerely,

Donald E. Wildmon, Founder and Chairman American Family Association

You know, these guys think they've got so much courage...

Let 'em do the same sort of thing with Mohammed? Never happen--they'd wet their pants in fear of Muslim violent retaliation.

This has been posted before, and I suggested a "Dress Up Mohammad" doll - complete with pig-skin cloak, and child bride.

One more attempt to make Christians look silly. How depraved can people get is beyond me.

I remember a time when they could not have gotten away with blaspheming Jesus either. Times have changed and in my opinion, not for the better.

Except maybe for air conditioning :)

I wonder how they'd react to a Dress Up JFK in an open limo or Dress Up Martin Luther King.

Christ is vogue. Always will be. Why fight it?

Didn't Christ want to get the message across that He empathizes with all people, and especially rejoices to bring sinners into his circle?

However, he did overturn the table of a money exchange at least once... and rejected the idea of pay-to-see tents for Him, Elijah and Moses on Horeb...

Can someone who knows how trace BOTH the Jesus page and the response page to make sure we are not being set up? And also the site MENTIONED on the Jesus page? Isn't there somewhere we can ID this thing? I'd hate to be played like that "Madlyn Murry is trying to ban Christian raadio" thing did a few years ago...

I'm waiting for the "Mohammed's Family" version.

Should be fun to put his daughters into string bikinis; his wife into a business suit & butched hair, and him into a devil costume. Maybe turn his sons into Village people...

You are right. You never see anyone making fun of Mohammed .People are afraid of retaliation.Just because they cannot see Jesus Christ they are foolishly brave. But I have news!Mohammed had no power.Jesus resurrected from the dead and has power unlimited. I would be so afraid to ever make fun of Him. The beginning of wisdom is the fearof God.
