Mr. Gruff Papercraft



"Atheism, as a philosophical view, is the position that either affirms the nonexistence of gods or rejects theism. When defined more broadly, atheism is the absence of belief in deities, alternatively called nontheism. Although atheists are commonly assumed to be irreligious, some religions, such as Buddhism, have been characterized as atheistic."

From the Christian? site objectiveministries.org comes this simple papercraft model aptly named Mr. Gruff the Atheist Goat, designed by Mr. Kutsushima of the Happy Origami Ministry in Japan. This model is very much the same design and format as the Jesus papercraft that we've posted before. The head and arms still move, but now, this one is holding a mug - you can also check out some other models on their site like Ruby the Lioness, Lambuel, and many more.

  2. Ayn Rand. Mr. Gruff tries to get kids to read her books instead of the Bible.

  6. Oh, so it's a parody? When I found it, it looked legit. Especially when I read it through Babel Fish. Well, I can rest easier knowing that it is! I made the Mr. Gruff model a while ago. It's cute, and is sitting on my desk right now. : )

  7. thanks for the update anon, I was aware of their wiki entry but wasn't sure if it was accurate, so on both the jesus and mr. gruff posting I just emphasize on the papercraft models creator (mr. kutsushima)
