Do you or your child sleep badly? Some people find listening to music or soft atmospheric noises to be a massive help. Others are attracted to the idea of being lulled into the blissful realm of shuteye by Bible verses, read by a “friendly Jesus-looking lamp”, amusingly referred to as Captain Jesus. While many criticise religions for failing to keep up with the pace of modern society, it’s clear that Captain Jesus is trying to tag along, providing those who are too tired to read the Bible with a handful of daily Proverbs. As this is also a lamp or ‘mood light’, providing “a better environment to pray” in and kicks in once the main house lights have been turned off, we suspect the device is mainly aimed at children. This means, your Captain Jesus can brainwash read verses from the King James Bible to your child while they drift off to sleep. We hope the devs leave out the bits about genocide, plague and rape, though... Nightmares and all that.
