Don't the Mormons already have something like this, only for adults?
I am surprised that the pants are cinched with "Truth" and not "Chastity".
JG - I was gonna say, if you think this is funny, ask Romney about his magic underwear.
The site lists a Lake City, Florida address -- methinks it could be legit. I can easily envision my relatives stocking up. The girl's head scarf is priceless, a precursor to the "purity balls" now the vogue in evangelical culture.
Get your laughs in now.
President Huckabee is going to make these mandatory for all kids under 14.
Perfect for the little crusader on YOUR shopping list.
Liberal fascist! Hater!
Is the boy supposed to wear the helmet while he sleeps?
Do they lose their magical protective power if he doesn't (remind me again why magic wands and Harry Potter are satanic sorcery, while protective pajamas are totally fine?)
I see things like this, and I'm reminded of the SNL skit about the Bush/Dukakis debate in '88. Bush is going on and on about 'a thousand points of light...stay the course...a thousand points of light' and arguing with the moderator about how his time must be up by now. Dukakis, memorably played by Jon Lovitz, turns to the camera and says 'how am I losing to this guy?'
How are progressives losing elections to people who believe in magic pajamas???

Because your economic beliefs are at least as nonsensical, and are far more likely to result in destructive government policies.
Whoops, hit "reply" to early.
If I have to choose between a candidate who believes in the power of magic pajamas and one who believes in the power of government monopolies to reduce the cost and increase the quality and availability of healthcare, I'm gonna hold my nose and vote for the pajamas guy.
That's the best biblical literalism I think I've ever seen.
Does it still piss some people off when other people say religion is evil? Oh well, religion is evil.
Mmmmm, simony.
Why do you think these any more ridiculous than superhero pajamas e.g. Spiderman, Superman?
"Why do you think these any more ridiculous than superhero pajamas e.g. Spiderman, Superman?"
Becasue when you put on your spiderman or superman PJs you feel like spiderman or superman. When you put on the bible pjs,it just confirms that you are the child of two severly damaged adults and that a childhood of exposure to them is going to damage you in similar ways so that you will never, ever, ever get to be normal. That's a big burden for a little kid to carry.
I am surprised that the pants are cinched with "Truth" and not "Chastity".
The belt says "truth" because it's a reference to a specific verse in which Paul tells believers to put on the belt of truth. Once upon a time Christians didn't think the defining difference between their beliefs and everyone else's revolved around premarital chastity. Some of us, at least, still don't.
I think the explanation on the site--the woman wanted to make Pajamas that would make her daughter feel safe at night by reminding her that [she believes] God is caring for her, and help her remember the promises/virtues in this verse (truth, peace, righteousness, faith, salvation)--is kind of sweet.
But I HATE the fact that the little girl's PJs have some kind of veil thingy instead of a helmet. The verse says "helmet" not "veil," nor does it differentiate by gender, and there's absolutely no practical reason a little girl shouldn't wear a helmet (I'm assuming neither boys or girls actually wear the hat thing to sleep).
Just wait till you see japanesebugfights.com.
They're Inter Milan jerseys!
Whatever happened to ninja pajamas?

I've seen that site before. I think it might actually be a fake, ala Landover Baptist.
