The Marine’s Toys for Tots program has rejected an offer from the Beverly Hills Teddy Bear Co. to provide 4,000 talking Jesus dolls for their annual Christmas season toy drive. According to the Marines it would be inappropriate to accept the dolls because there would be no way to determine the religions of the doll recipients.

Has their ever been a story more peculiar? Why is it that non-Christians are celebrating Christmas in the first place? How often do we hear of Jews celebrating Ramadan or atheists celebrating Rosh Hashanah? But then again why would any Christian want a talking Jesus doll? Isn’t that an idol?

Oh silly Phalanx, it isn’t the Christmas season…it’s the holiday season…what holiday is it again…oh yeah its Christmas.
