Since we're entering the holiday season, and I wouldn't want to be accused of contributing to the War on Christmas (oh, horrors!), here are some fortuitously christmassy entertainments.
If you're shopping for just the right gift for that devout Christian, look into the Twelve Days of Kitschmas. These are exactly the kind of garish ticky-tack most appropriate for your beloved followers of the prosperity gospel.
But perhaps you want to share with more spiritually minded loved ones. How about some Bible verses? In fact, how about the most badass verses in the entire Bible? 1 Samuel 18 suggests some great presents for your father-in-law, too.

This week is Thanksgiving in the United States. This means that over the coming weekend many Americans will be putting up Christmas decorations in and outside their houses. Many children will be putting finishing touches on their letters to Santa. The shopping malls will start to fill and while…
I am amazed at the giddiness amongst Christian Fundamentalists that has fomented from the mere utterance of a holiday greeting by Richard Dawkins. The counter-insurgents in the War on Christmas ... the Red White and Blue, squeaky-faced smirking shits that call themselves commentators or preachers…
November's Robert O'Brien Trophy (formerly known as the Idiot of the Month Award) will, for the first time, be awarded to a group of people rather than to a specific person. In fact, it will be awarded not to a specific organization or group, but to a rather amorphous and undefined group of people…
So it's December 22, and you are one of the few people who hasn't already bagged out of work to get ready for the holidays. You've been absolutely deluged -- swamped with work -- the entire month of December. You've hardly had time to think about Christmas, let alone shop. But now, with the holiday…
Sarcastically celebrating 15 ways of how idiotically violent the bible is, is a great way to show how idiotically violent the bible is. And I'm amused to see you link to cracked.com. Your tentacles really must be everywhere...
I'm imagining a song:
On the first day of Kitschmas, my true love gave to me ...
An in-flat-a-ble Frosty the Snowman.
On the second day of Kitschmas, my true love gave to me ...
Two Chick Tracts,
And an in-flat-a-ble Frosty the Snowman.
Anyone of you lyrically inclined feel like writing the rest?
I want it to mention plastic angels, you hear? And maybe a Virgin Mary Wristwatch. Extra points if you can manage to include the (not safe for work) Jackhammer Jesus.
And if you're MUSICALLY inclined, I wouldn't mind hearing the actual song.
...
While searching for a link to an image of the Virgin Mary Wristwatch (they exist, I've seen one), I came across this DEFINITELY NOT SAFE FOR WORK Madonna and Child.
I love the Maria memory stick. Complete with LED light-up sacred heart and halo with "Oh Maria keep my data safe."
Too bad my desire for kitchsy woo doesn't go up to 69 euros.
I would suggest that fans look up Isaiah 13.

When you thought that the christmas lights couldn't be dimmer, man,
Here's a christmas song by our favorite, Roy Zimmerman)
Holy Cr*p!!
;)
Said the Little Boy to the Working Mom
Do you see what I see?
Cable channel three-seventeen--
Do you see what I see?
A toy! A toy! A laser-action gun
It will bring me hours of fun
It will bring me hours of fun!
Said the Working Mom to the Absent Dad
Do you hear what I hear?
Listen to your son, Absent Dad
Do you hear what I hear?
Your kid! Your kid! Is driving me insane
And your check is late once again
And your check is late once again!
Said the Absent Dad to the Learned Judge
Do you know what I know?
Sitting on your bench, Learned Judge
Do you know what I know?
My job! My job! Was outsourced to Bhopal
Now I have no money at all
Now I have no money at all!
Said the Learned Judge to the President
Do you see what I see?
On your Crawford ranch, President--
Do you see what I see?
The time, the time, for posturing is past
We must all do something, and fast
We must all do something, and fast!
Said the Prez, to the People Everywhere
Listen to what I say!
Go and shop, People Everywhere!
Listen to what I say!
Just swipe your card, and don't forget your PIN
You must shop like thrift is a sin!
If you don't, the Terrorists win!

Thanks for reminding me of the Ship of Fools site, home of the Kitschmas stuff. (Is there a Freudian meaning there, coded in Yiddish?) Haven't visited in a while, and it's still a funny site.
The best I was able to come up with is "We Wish You An Intelligently-Designed Creationmas". I'd welcome suggestions for improving it.
I did also respond to a 'Top Ten Bible Verses' meme a while back, but I'm not sure if it is in the same league or genre with the ones you shared...
Bad Ass Verses = Fun For The Family
I think the "No Grabbing the Junk Commandment" should have been one of the original ten. It makes a hell of a lot more sense than "I am the 'lord' your 'god' blah blah blah give me cash."
I think if we get wnough of these printed up as posters, xmas will wage war onitself:

Heathen's Greetings!
I loved the 9 most badass bible verses, and from there I checked out the 10 Creepies Craigslist Casual Encounters. All I gotta say is WOW.
People are fucked up.
Cuttlefish makes me a sad panda.
Is it just me or does the "Holy Toast" in the 12 days of Kitschmas look like the Flying Spaghetti Monster?
Couldn't get past #7 on the bad ass bible thing, sorry! ;^)
love that one comment from the bad-ass bible verse post:
Martin Luther King may have had a dream, but Moses had a body count.
LOL
I have always loved the 'kids who mock bald prophets will be eaten by bears' quote.
Especially the specificity of the number: 42!
Testing 1,2,3...
