Faith and Hope, 20% off!

Faith and Hope, 20% off!
I think, in the end, it was the teddy bears that did it.
They were big and fluffy, in boxes that said they’d “introduce children to prayer” and “teach them how to talk to God”. And they were creepy.
If you pressed their paws together, they’d start talking: “Hi! I’m Happy Bear! Would you like to pray with me?” A second tap, and the prayer would begin: “Dear God. I am HAPPY today, because you made the world!” …and on it would go. Eventually, you’d reach the end of the prayer cycle, and the whole thing would start over again.
