Exodus 32:6

The people sat down to eat and drink and the rose up to play.

If they rose up to play, they must of had toys. Therefore toys are evil.

You lot on here are awful !!

But anyway, I'm clearing out my toy cupboard just in case

I wouldn't call a ouiji board a toy. It is definitely evil, if we are to refer to it as a toy, it encourages kids to be messing with something that they shouldn't be messing with.

it is marketed as a toy, and is sold with board-games. always has been.... and yes, it encourages kids to mess with something that shouldn't be messed with.

children play all the time they dont NEED toys just an imagination ...grown ups "play" but they dont need toys to do so ..again just their imaginations .

Specifically referring to action figures and the like.

G I JOE IS NOT EVIL...... He was a HERO.... a fighting man from head to toe.... on the land in the air and on the sea......

Actually, Duke Nukem is also quite cool

Well, what I can say is that idolizing them is not good. Giving power to inanimate objects and asking them for life is an aspect of idolatry.

Isaiah 44:17-19 talks about making idols. I am not really good at giving the right scriptures, but this one should give you some insight on idolatry.

So in my point of view, toys are not bad. But giving them power or asking them for salvation (see above scripture) is probably not in your best interest. I hope this helps!

I don't think toys in general are inherently good or evil. But people still need to exercise discernment. Just because a Ouija board is marketed as a toy, doesn't mean that it IS one, nor does it mean that it's a good thing to buy. I'd never let a kid play with one of those.

I also think that kids place too much value on toys these days. I didn't have huge amounts of toys as a kid, and that was okay. I just got more creative with the ones we had.

I really love it when they come out with toys that inspire creativity. I'd rather a kid have a bin of Legos than a roomful of things that take little imagination. Ones that teach are awesome too (I loved my science kits as a kid, for example).

Kids who are old enough to read should have more books than toys, in my opinion. There are still too many people who are growing up unable to read or write a complete sentence. The more you read, the easier that sort of thing is to learn (practice makes perfect, after all).
