They remind me of those dolls way back in the day that had a cord you could pull to make them speak. There are only so many pre-recorded messages the record can handle. Everything they believe has been basically programmed into them over the course of their lives, reinforced by the media.

Chatty Cathy: “I’m hungry”. “Will you play with me?”

Some dolls say, The Jews are God's chosen people. Real Christianity says that Christians are.

What if there is no chosen people? Or what if all peoples are?

I once had a girlfriend who had a doll that kind of creeped me out a bit, and I said as much. It may have been both or either a collector's or childhood heirloom piece.

In any event, since the doll and I were sometimes sharing the same room-- we used it as the home office-- I noticed one day that my girlfriend had repositioned the doll so it directly faced me where I was sitting at the desk.

In retrospect, it may have been the same girlfriend who had onced casually asked me to the effect of what pushed my buttons. Suffice to say, I strategically avoided the question altogether since the 'doll incident'.
