But this one is just beyond creepy. However,\u00a0if that\u2019s your thing and you\u2019ve got $22.40 to spend, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.redbubble.com\/people\/blakethewizz\/works\/10043996-you-need-jesus?p=t-shirt\" target=\"_blank\" class=\" decorated-link\" rel=\"nofollow\">you can pick one up today<\/a>\u00a0and make everyone you meet feel really uncomfortable.<br>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4>4.

When Jesus was crucified on one, the cross became a holy symbol of reverence and remembrance. I guess a candy dispenser was the logical next step in the evolution of the cross? Though other types of cross themed candy are <a href=\"https:\/\/scripturecandy.com\/index.php?option=com_hikashop&amp;ctrl=product&amp;task=show&amp;cid=33&amp;name=cross-pops-individual-pop&amp;Itemid=520\" target=\"_blank\" class=\" decorated-link\" rel=\"nofollow\">still available for purchase<\/a>, this one appears to be off the market.<br>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4>3. Jesus Is My Coach Figurine<\/h4>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13612\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.patheos.com\/blogs\/sites\/941\/2015\/01\/coachjesus2.jpg\" alt=\"coachjesus2\" width=\"329\" height=\"360\">(<a href=\"http:\/\/www.catholicsupply.com\/christmas\/golf.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\" decorated-link\" rel=\"nofollow\">Credit: Catholic Supply<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s actually <a href=\"http:\/\/www.catholicsupply.com\/christmas\/sports.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\" decorated-link\" rel=\"nofollow\">an entire line<\/a> of \u201cJesus Is My Coach\u201d figurines. Thankfully, most of them are just your typical cheesy Jesus kitsch. But clearly the artist who designed this particular figure hadn\u2019t been through <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gbod.org\/leadership-resources\/safe-sanctuaries\" target=\"_blank\" class=\" decorated-link\" rel=\"nofollow\">Safe Sanctuary<\/a> training at his church. Seriously, this thing makes me wince every time I look at it. Unfortunately, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.catholicsupply.com\/christmas\/golf.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\" decorated-link\" rel=\"nofollow\">it\u2019s still for sale<\/a>.<br>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4>2.

Essentially, it\u2019s a Magic 8 Ball that\u2019s been dressed up to look like what its creator apparently thought Jesus would look like if he was a robot. Seriously. If you notice the picture on the box on the left, that kid is asking a question and robot Jesus is, um, declining to answer his prayer? Although the God-Jesus Robot is no longer on sale, for $22 you can <a href=\"http:\/\/store.engrish.com\/products\/god-jesus-t-shirt\" target=\"_blank\" class=\" decorated-link\" rel=\"nofollow\">pick yourself up a nifty God-Jesus Robot t-shirt<\/a>.<br>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4>1.

Honestly, I don\u2019t even know what to do with this one. I <em>think<\/em> it\u2019s some sort of tragically named herbal supplement. I guess it\u2019s supposed to give you a body like Jesus? Although, the model in the display is certainly a non-traditional take on what Jesus may have looked like. But, like I said, that\u2019s just a guess. I would love to tell you more about Jesus Body pills, but as the creepy and confusing description on the box explains, the true purpose of these pills is a secret.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13614\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.patheos.com\/blogs\/sites\/941\/2015\/01\/jesusbody1.jpg\" alt=\"jesusbody1\" width=\"550\" height=\"441\">(<a href=\"http:\/\/www.teamjimmyjoe.com\/2014\/10\/27-strange-unfortunately-funny-product-names\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\" decorated-link\" rel=\"nofollow\">Credit: TeamJimmyJoe<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>I have no idea if these pills are still available to purchase, but I\u2019m gonna go out on a limb and guess they won\u2019t be on sale in the States anytime soon.<br>\n\u00a0<br>\n<em>Well, those are my top bizarre 5 Jesus themed products that shouldn\u2019t exist.
