Toys for Tots rejects Jesus Doll
This has got to be one of the funniest things I have read. Toys for Tots would not accept a donation of 4,000 Jesus dolls.
"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.'"
Bill Grein is Vice President of the Marine toys for tots foundation.
I looked at the objective, goal, and mission statements of the toys for tots organization as printed on their website and all three state it is their desire to bring the "joy of Christmas" to needy children. This leads me to ask but one question, how many Jewish and Muslim families do they run into that celebrate Christmas? At least Jewish and Muslim families that are devout enough to be offended by a talking Jesus given as a gift to their child.
