Toys for Tots, the charitable orgainization
founded by the Marine Corps,
rejects Jesus dollAs 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.
Here's the mission statement of the campaign...
MISSION: The mission of the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program is to collect new, unwrapped toys during October, November and December each year, and distribute those toys as Christmas gifts to needy children in the community in which the campaign is conducted.
So
Jesus is not an approriate toy for
Christmas, because we might offend all those Jews and Moslems when they recieve that
Christian toy while celebrating that
Christian holiday?
