The concept of a "Jesus Magic 8 Ball" combines the elements of Christianity and the popular Magic 8 Ball toy. The Magic 8 Ball is a small plastic sphere containing a die with various predetermined answers. When a user shakes the ball and asks a question, the die inside floats to the top and reveals one of the pre-written responses through a small window. While the Magic 8 Ball has a secular origin as a novelty toy, the idea of a "Jesus Magic 8 Ball" adds a spiritual twist. Instead of generic responses, this modified version would provide answers based on biblical teachings or Christian principles. It could offer guidance, biblical verses, or words of encouragement based on the user's question.
No offense and no apologies needed. Personally, I wish you didn’t delete his comments. I know you want to protect people from seeing the irrational side of your religion, but that’s one of the problems. In order to be completely objective, one shouldn’t censor any points of views, even the ones you may object to. That way the reader can see all sides and draw their own conclusions. When you limit the comments, the perspective becomes skewed. Just an opinion. Mark
I would rather say I have this friend named Mark on the internet who makes this toy that pokes fun at Jesus and prayer you should meet him sometime than get into a pissing match trying to convince you by proofs what I believe by faith and visa versa and then never be friends. Jimmy and I happen to believe God is the creator of the Universe and his Only Son died and rose from the dead and offers eternal life and forgivenes and has called us and commissioned us to take that story and tell as many people as we can.
It could offer guidance, biblical verses, or words of encouragement based on the user's question. The concept of a "Jesus Magic 8 Ball" may appeal to individuals who seek spiritual guidance or reassurance through unconventional means. It could serve as a reminder of biblical wisdom amidst the fast-paced modern world, offering quick and accessible spiritual insight for those searching for answers or direction in their lives.
Jesus is my magic 8 ball
I think sometimes the reason Jesus isn’t relevant is Christians (including me probably) treat Jesus like the magic 8 ball. Like he’s not even real. (notice real). Remember those? They were hoot when I was a kid. King of Queens had a good episode about the Metalo – the fortune teller that answered all your questions. Funny stuff! Don’t we do that though? Sometimes we treat Jesus like the lucky rabbit’s foot or the sky fairy or genie in the magic lamp.
This novelty item called “The Submissive Jesus” promoted by an atheist kind of sums up the mentality that Jesus is here for us rather than the other way around.
The idea is that if you twist the crown of thorns into Submissive Jesus skull he will be forced to answer your prayer. At $29.95 (with a $10 rebate if you purchase before Mother’s Day)The Submissive Jesus says 100 random phrases and comes with:
26 page instruction manual
Dinner with God coupon
Freedom from Hell coupon
Warranty for 40 days and 40 nights
Their commercials are almost pornographic so reader – beware if you go to their web site. Here is the tamest of them (this should pop up a windows media player) and represents the mentality I think many Christians have regarding Jesus and prayer. More alarmingly this is the perception that non-Jesus followers have about us!
Here’s my question – what are we doing to CHANGE this perception?

However, it is important to note that this is a fictional concept and not an actual product or religious practice endorsed or recognized by any official Christian denomination. The idea is purely imaginative and serves as a creative exploration of the convergence of toy culture and religious beliefs..
Reviews for "The Jesus Magic 8 Ball: A Unique Approach to Prayer and Meditation"
1. Sarah - 2 stars - The Jesus magic 8 ball was a disappointment. I was hoping for something more spiritual or thought-provoking, but instead, it was just a regular magic 8 ball with religious phrases. The answers it gave were generic and didn't offer any real insights. I was hoping for a deeper connection to my faith, but this toy missed the mark.
2. Mark - 1 star - I was highly disappointed with the Jesus magic 8 ball. The concept seemed interesting, but the execution was poor. The responses it gave were cliché and lacked any depth. It felt like a cheap gimmick rather than a meaningful religious tool. I would not recommend it to anyone seeking genuine spiritual guidance.
3. Emma - 2 stars - I found the Jesus magic 8 ball to be underwhelming. The religious phrases it provided seemed outdated and didn't resonate with me. The novelty factor wore off quickly, and I was left with a toy that didn't serve any real purpose. It's definitely not worth the price, considering the lackluster experience it offers.
4. John - 1 star - The Jesus magic 8 ball felt like a cheap cash-grab. The religious aspect felt forced and insincere, and the answers it provided were nothing more than random phrases. It didn't offer any genuine spiritual guidance or insight. I would advise others to invest their money in something more meaningful and authentic.
