Is Magic 8 Ball an Idol?

[Papersock]

Is Magic Eight Ball an idol? Asking it questions is sort of like praying to it.
Why isn't there a religion built around the magic 8 ball?
Or is there?

They need a "magic 8-ball Jesus" statue to sell in those "Christian" gimmick stores. Shake him up and the answer appears on his sacred heart.

The Magic Eight Ball is actually the triune nature. It is the blue water, the globe and the oracular cube, yet all three are One. How can this be?

It's a mystery. Or as the Lord saith: "Reply hazy. Ask again later."

There used to be a "magic medicine ball," but they couldn't market it to the weaklings...

I asked my Answer Me Jesus if the Magic 8 Ball is an idol. He said, "I FORGIVE YOU."

Why is Answer Me Jesus pink?

 

[Storm]

Doesn't pink symbolize love?

What I want to know is where you look for the answer....

 

[cardero]

Why is Answer Me Jesus pink?

And more curiously, why is there a switch on the bottom?

 

[Smoke]

I love my Answer Me Jesus. I bought three: one for myself, one for my friend Carol, and an extra, which my friend Sally quickly snapped up.

Why not?

Under the bottom. Er, the base.

There's no switch. But a light-up Answer Me Jesus! Now that would be cool!

Do Carol and Sally use theirs alot?
What I mean is, do they use them to solve those difficult prob-I mean-to answer those difficult questions?

[Quiddity]

It can't possibly be. It always seems to give me the wrong answer.

But if it can just give me a prophecy......it will definatly get my attention!

This is what fundamentalism has come to...

Do people outside of the US have any idea what we're talking about here?

Was the Magic 8-Ball ever marketed abroad?

I think in Britain, it's the "Magic Dart-Board," as found in many pubs...
