Note: Before reading the following arguments, please understand that they are not what I believe. On Wednesdays, I deliberately argue for wrong ideas, challenging my listeners to call and defend the obvious right answer, which is usually far harder than one would expect. This is a summary of what Wacky Andrew will be arguing, not a representation of what real Andrew believes. ~They’re a waste of money.
~Show me where in the Bible you see kids playing with dolls?
~Barbies teach sexy, selfish, materialism to impressionable girls.
~Aren’t dolls like little slaves?
~Dolls let kids to create their own little fantasy friend who will do whatever they want and interact with them entirely on their own terms. This sort of fantasy relationship is desirable because it’s so much more convenient than real relationships, but for that very reason it creates unhealthy expectations for real relationships.
~A doll or stuffed animal is just the beginning of relationship porn that later becomes a love of romance novels in women.
~There is physical danger from little pieces, eyes, buttons, etc.
~When a child is attached to a doll or animal, they are typically very possessive of it, even reacting violently to other people playing with or touching it. Also, they have trouble calming down and sleeping without it.
~When the Bible says to not make any image of anything at all, does it make an exception for dolls?
~These days, dolls are just another marketing strategy.
