Understanding Religious Beliefs in Terms of Toys

It appears that religion - particularly "Christianity," however one chooses to define it - is becoming a major element in modern American political discourse (such as it is). This being the case, I believe it would be useful as a public service to offer this handy guide which will help you sort out the essential beliefs of various religions in terms of toys. This approach has the dual benefit of simplifying a complex issue, and appealing to religious bigots who act like spoiled children anyhow. Here you go ...

Islam (General) - You must play with your toys five times per day.

Sunni Islam - Shi'ites play with the wrong toys.

Shi'a Islam - The twelfth toy is missing, but it will return someday.

Church of Christ - He whose toys make music, loses.

Baptist - Once played, always played.

I hope this helps. If you have other suggestions, leave them as a comment.
