Nunzilla
This is a controversial toy - thus apologies to those who may find this toy offensive. The truth is, some find this toy a relief, even a joy. It helps them express the bad experiences they had growing up in their religion and what drove many of them away. Once you wind it up, this toy walks with a Frankenstein-like gait - with sparks streaming out of its mouth - fire-breathing, so to speak!
Religion has the ability to become rigid, dictatorial and unbending. Some find no air to breathe in that situation.
Sometimes a toy like NUNZILLA can provide a transitional object to elicit and purge some of our negative thoughts and memories about religion, to share them with others, and even find back that sense of spirituality that one has lost, but is also seeking.
Religion sometimes loses its sense of humor, its resiliency, and thus become less welcoming to some.
As Bonnie Raitt said during a concert at Northrup Auditorium in Minneapolis:
"Religion is for those afraid of going to hell. Spirituality is for those of us who've already been there."
For further elucidation of Nunzilla, watch the offshoot of Yellowstone series, 1923, which memorializes what happened to young Native women forced to attend Catholic schools dedicated to removing everything Indian from them, at any cost.
