Why Do The Marines Hate Jesus?


If English was good enough for Jesus...


Doesn't every mother's child want Santa to bring an English-speaking Jesus doll this year? The way the Farmers Branch- Davidian wannabe wingnuts of this country are reacting to the Marines' Toys For Tots policy (of not randomly handing out talking plastic Jesus dolls to children who might worship a different deity), you'd think the WOC (War On Christmas®) had infiltrated the US Military.

Toys for Tots rejects talking Jesus doll

LOS ANGELES -- A talking Jesus doll has been turned down by the Marine Reserves' Toys for Tots program. A suburban Los Angeles company offered to donate 4,000 of the foot-tall dolls, which quote Bible verses, for distribution to needy children this holiday season.

The battery-powered Jesus is one of several dolls in the Messengers of Faith line 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.

Toys are donated to kids based on financial need and "we don't know anything about their background, their religious affiliations," said Bill Grein, vice president of Marine Toys for Tots Foundation, in Quantico, Va.

As a government entity, Marines "don't profess one religion over another," Grein said Tuesday. "We can't take a chance on sending a talking Jesus doll to a Jewish family or a Muslim family."

Not word one, however, about how much damned free publicity the Talking Jesus Doll company has generated with this scam.

Hint: WOM (word of mouth) advertising is free and easy.

You've been had again, English-Only Christians, and you don't even know it.


Best bar bet in the world: Delilah didn't do it.
