I’m suspecting a troll account too. The repeated assertion that they’ve been reading the Bible is a weird point to keep making. As if it’s someone who has only the most superficial understanding of Christianity.

Sure, you bought some for your own kids when they were younger, but now you can buy the more expensive better-painted versions from Japan for yourself.
