Not that I'm for offending people, but I think it is ironic that you
can't give Jesus for Chrstmas:

..... that creaking sound you hear, is western civilazation
toppling.... as it bends over backwards...

PS, I see the point, but the irony is palpable..



I was raised as a Christian and if someone had given me a Bible
spouting Jesus doll, I'd have tried to be polite and then let it rot
in the toy box. This is not a fun toy. It's an educational tool
masquerading as a toy. It's a specialty gift and should only be given
by the church the child attends or by the child's family. Of course
it might, unlike Ken dolls, be anatomically correct, which would be
interesting.

How would you feel about one of your family's kids getting a gift of a
Koran spouting Mohamed doll?

If that's going to make western civilization topple, then it's already
dead and ready to fall anyway, isn't it?

As I said, I agree with the Marines, but think of the *Irony*....

Besides, how could a talking Jesus doll be anything less than fundimentally
tacky.... and bordering on iDOLLatry, to boot.
