I wish I could install GPS in Scarlett Johansson.
*sigh*
does that mean technology CAN help people find jesus?
"Where is your God now?"
33° 48' 38.4912"
-117° 55' 8.421"
Fun killers.
I am sure they will all be located with the Travelocity roaming gnome wintering in Fiji. I always thought Joseph was the Fiji type.
Hell, I'd be even more tempted to steal it now, and put it in some ridiculously hard to reach place.
Or, you know, in a tunnel.
jebus....don't save me, bro!
Pick your favorite:
1. God loves Christians and loves his own son, that's why he's letting criminals steal baby Jesus?
2. Jesus H. Christ wants to help the poor and needy. That's the only way he can go to their houses without making it look like a Christmas miracle. Stealthy Jesus.
3. Jesus doesn't like what the Christian right has done in his name in the last few years. That's his way of removing himself from the US, politely.
Nativity scenes aren't even taken all that often. What does get stolen often is the Bible ... out of bookstores. I can think of only one group of people in the world that would do such a thing.
BigD: I can think of several, actually, including the alcoholics who found Jesus at the bottom of the bottle but cannot afford to pay for a copy of said good book since they spent all of their dough on the booze that led them to Jesus in the first place. :)
@Bloobie: Are you saying alcoholics (that steal Bibles) aren't "Christian"? By the by, alcohol doesn't lead you to Jesus. AA does that. It's still just one group of people, though.
Who says science and religion don't overlap?
I think the gps thing would make me want to steal it more... i wouldnt take it for the plastic doll, id take it for the technology. its like attaching a xps to your pencil to make sure you get the pencil back from ur friend...
What if you stole it and threw it in the dumpster? Then they track it to the dumpster and voila, a baby, baby jesus. Yeah thats bad, but it is kinda funny right? Merry Christmas!!!
I'd smuggle it into the delivery center of the local hospital...just for kicks
"Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth."
Exodus, 20:4

...exactly.
finding jesus has been taken to a whole new level
How about http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/20/security-ring-denies-intruders-when-youre-away/ ?
Damnit. You could program it to lock the plexiglass door!
I wonder if anyone is going to steal it for the free GPS tracker, now.
"We may need to rely on technology to save our savior," said Cellini.
Idiot statement...
How could you save our Savior if you need Him to save you?
Some people just take all the fun out of Christmas.
did they try nailing him to a board?
Aw, hell that was a good one!
Whoaaaa, OUCH! Nice. That was right up there. It cracked me up, and now I feel guilty. >_>
Mildly. Humor's a blessing aaaaaaall by itself.
It adds to the challenge. Seems bringing a faraday cage of chicken wire should do the trick.
A motion sensing alarm would probably do the job easier, cheaper, and better than a GPS.
yay
