Armor of God PJs: Unfortunately, this is not a joke…
Posted by The Dean of Cincinnati

In light of my introduction to ”Wholesome Wear,” my head has been spinning for a few days since finding out about Armor of God PJs. I’ve met Christian Jihadists who would love to make a fashion statement like this, but would that be going overboard in an attempt to align with interpretations of Christianity?
My problem is not with the fact that people are “religious”—rather, it’s the extent to which some take their beliefs to the fringe and beyond. I may not agree with a mainstream Christian’s opposition to gay marriage, for example, but the majority of Christians are not radical and extreme Jesus Jihadists. This emerging and growing population of American Christofascists has really started to stun me.
Take some time to review the Armor of God Pajamas web site. And remember—the site is not a joke. It is not satire, or parody, or anything. Apparently, there are really people out there who think that dressing their children like Knights Templar, with words like “Righteousness” over their chests, will protect them from Satan each night.
The “salvation” helmet for the boys’ outfit really blows my mind out of the water. Don’t forget to check out that “faith” shield.
I can’t wait for the rapture to get here to take all these people away…

The scariest thing about these pajamas is they look sort of like Ku Klux Klan outfits! The white with red cross and the hood/helmet look like KKK. Did the designer have some leftover fabric from a David Duke rally? Just sayin’....

Because I have SO much time on my hands, I read thru the entire website. No where on the site does it say that these are flame retardant. NO WHERE.
So-go ahead and let your child think that they are safe from Satan- while they burn up for real in a house fire!

Mormon “underwear” is similarly seen as sacred protection by the saints.
Regarding Mormon Garments, LDS leaders have taught:
“Church members who have been clothed with the garment in the temple have made a covenant to wear it throughout their lives. This has been interpreted to mean that it is worn as underclothing both day and night.”
“The promise of protection and blessings is conditioned upon worthiness and faithfulness in keeping the covenant. Members of the Church wear the garment as a reminder of the sacred covenants they have made with the Lord and also as a protection against temptation and evil. How it is worn is an outward expression of an inward commitment to follow the Savior.”
- Letter of the First Presidency, 10 October 1988

I hope, Dean, that you have forwarded this to Huckleberry! I can see it now, as he is altering the constituion in his image, he will definitely need a warrior uniform for the photosession for the picture he will need for his inclusion in the hall of founding fathers. amazing
