Mattel released its Creatable World line of dolls Sept. 25 describing the six dolls in the series as gender-neutral and coupled with short and long wigs and male, female and gender-neutral attire. This new line will likely flop on the market, Christian experts said.
Bob Stith, a Southern Baptist gender issues expert and founder of Family and Gender Issues Ministries in Southlake, Texas, said the dolls are irresponsible.
God’s creation of two sexes is undeniable, Stith said, and is confirmed in both the Old and New Testaments.
“Certainly in a fallen world those lines can get blurred,” said Stith. “But the compassionate response is not to promote the blurring of the lines but to lovingly help our fallen culture to move back towards God’s creative intent.” (BP)
