I’m pretty sure that’s the idea…and that the idea happens to be a joke.

Looks more like Gollum Jesus to me.

Note that on their [home page](http://objective.jesussave.us/index.html), they have a link to a “Shut Down Landover Baptist” rant. That’s a dead giveaway that it’s a spoof, if the Baby Jesus Thong wasn’t.

Real Crazy-Go-Nuts Fundies aren’t usually smart enough to figure out that Landover Baptist is a spoof.

The ad I got at the bottom (they must be in rotation) linked to a site selling “intimacy products for married couples” including battery-operated devices, condoms, and “edibles”!

If it’s not a spoof then these are some rather free-thinking zealots!!

WHY…have you taken my preeeeeeeciousssssss? We hates sinners! We hates them!

This place is awesome. I had no idea that the baby Jesus head laughed when you tickled its chin. I figured if I posted it here, more freakiness would be discovered. “Found something weird? Post it on the SDMB and they will make it even weirder!”

To thank you all, I present to you this [eBay auction](http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33843&item=2291638443&rd=1). Notice that this version also has blue eyes and it, too, will haunt your nightmares.

Can’t sleep…Jesus will eat me…
