Oh, My Goodness! Bibleman!


I know this  was made by well-meaning people, but …….???????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??????

Bibleman is a series of video television episodes aimed at a 3-9 year old audience and featuring an evangelical superhero, Bibleman (portrayed by actor Willie Aames) and his sidekick, Biblegirl.  Wearing the Armor of God, Bibleman battles evil using the Word of God.  The villains he fights carry names like Dr. Fear, Shadow of Doubt, Ludicrous, Taco Smell, The Smiler, Timid Tessie, The Fibbler, The Cheater, The Legions of Laziness, GameMaster Bully, and Prince of Pride.

This video series is mocked by non-believers as ludicrous.  I must say that I am afraid they are correct.  The Bible quotation use seems contrived, the jokes fall flat and would be unintelligible to their stated target audience (3-9 year old children), and the ridiculously low production values make the secular The Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers  seem like high art.
