Snowmen of God
From “Melting My Faith” on “They Will Know Us By Our T-Shirts”, a seminary student/Christian bookstore employee’s blog.
Nothing says “Christmas cheer” quite like stuffed snowmen. Though not usually considered to be religious in nature, we still have a large number to choose from. My favorite is the one with “Jesus Warms My Heart” tattooed on its bell. Apparently, this qualifies as religious content and thus guarantees a spot in a Christian bookstore.
“Jesus Warms My Heart.” Stop to think about that from the perspective of a snowman. If Jesus truly warms your heart, then any decision of faith turns into a matter of life or death. The warming of a snowman’s heart brings about his inevitable melting. Accepting Jesus will kill him. This is worse than Frosty the Snowman having to go into the greenhouse.

“What would Jesus Buy?”
There’s a concept for a line of American Evangelical products for you.
It’s painful to read about junk like the Jesus snowmen (well, both entertaining and painful). Please, please, don’t think that all people who believe in Jesus are this goofy and oblivious to how ridiculous a “Jesus Warms My Heart” snowman is.
