Yes, that is a pencil with the tagline "Batty for Jesus"
and the bats have little crosses on them.

It's been a while (and I don't have kids), but I imagine that someone giving me Jesus pencils when I was expecting a Mars Bar would have been lucky not to get one of those pencils in their eye.

Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

I hope you find out what house it came from, and then do the right thing: Buy plenty of Eggs and Toilet Paper.
"Tradition" is just a word people use to make themselves feel better about being an asshole.

Yeah people decided to give out garbage
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
