War on Christmas


Why do the Marines hate Christmas?
A talking Jesus doll has been turned down by the Marine Reserves' Toys for Tots program.

A Los Angeles company offered to donate 4,000 of the 1 foot-tall dolls, which quote Bible verses, for distribution to needy children this holiday season. The battery-powered Jesus is one of several dolls manufactured by one2believe, a division of the Valencia-based Beverly Hills Teddy Bear Co., based on biblical figures.

But the charity balked because of the dolls' religious nature.
Of course the company is "surprised and disappointed." Because, they say:
"The idea was for them to be three-dimensional teaching tools for kids," La Roe said. "I believe as a churchgoing person, anyone can benefit from hearing the words of the Bible."
Blinders, for sure, because we all believe in Jesus, especially when he says stuff like this:
"I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again"
