If you’ve seen the Kevin Smith movie Dogma, you’ll remember the “hipper” Jesus statue that’s unvieled, showing Jesus winking and giving the “thumbs up” sign. It turns out not to be too far off from reality. You can now buy statues of Jesus playing soccer and participating in other sports!
My friend, it was called the “Buddy Christ,” as said by Cardinal Glick/George Carlin.
In fact, I saw a website that was selling small desktop versions of the statue.
I saw Conan O’Brien playing around with the Jesus-playing-sports statues.
Heh. Jesus knick-knacks. 
See, what I want is the “Jesus playing computer solitaire” statue Conan had. Then I’d get out the model paints and make myself a Jesus-playing-Unreal-Tournament figure.
Then I’d get a job, just so I can take it to work and put it on my desk.
LOL!
He would have to have that “Unreal Grimace” that everyone gets…
Now I’m picturing Grimace (from McDonaldland) sitting at a computer playing Unreal Tournament. 
Oops, sorry about the hijacking.
Check out the football Jesus on that link. Is it Sacrilegious to tackle your lord and savior?
Why yes, I have one sitting right here
The funny thing is, I bet more non-christians will buy these just because they’re so damn goofy. And what ever happened to the second commandment anyway? Aren’t things like this (and crosses, and “real men love jesus” stickers) sort of paradoxical? Oh well, one of these might make a good gag xmas present for my brother.
Is Unreal Tournament a multiplayer? Is Grimace playing with Jesus? Am I going to Hell for this?
Yes, I think you are.
Hey, look at the bright side.
You can get the “Buddy Christ” dashboard figure at the “View Askew” website. (And no, I’m not going to post the address, because I’m petrified of violating board rules and being banned forever.) I’m sure in this Vast Collection of Smart Dopers you can figure it out.
Yes, roughing the savior is in fact illegal.
I collected religious crap while in Bible College.
I still have my “Mary Mother of God” night-light
Well, I hoped that I wasn’t going to be the one to mention this, but for some reason, I find this image vaguely disturbing.
Talking about “View Askew” can get you tossed from the board?
We should hang our heads in shame…
Do I remember Buddy Jesus?
Buddy Jesus is a long-running inside joke in my family. For several years I haven’t had a birthday or Christmas where I didn’t get some little Buddy Jesus figurine.
I also know several non-Christians who love to collect “Jesus kitsch,” which is a great term for it. View Askew has some great examples of it.
Ten years in purgatory and loss of down
The SDMB Express Bus to Hell is now boarding…
When you throw a ‘Hail Mary’ does Jesus get offended? Is that like saying ‘Yo Momma!’ To Him?
And how come no basketball? What exactly is Jesus hangtime?
and for that I think I’m riding under the Express Bus to Hell…
“Aha! I smite thee, you big purple camper!”
I’m hoping Jesus isn’t allowed to use any of his miracle-powers in these sports games. I mean, Jesus water-polo would be too easy if he could just walk on the pool, or turn it into wine and intoxicate the other players…
(Not going to hell because I don’t believe in it…)
