So they really expected the Jesus dolls to just be accepted by everyone, as if everyone who celebrates a gift-giving holiday in December is Christian? They really need to get a clue.

Does it at least come with a cross, and a hammer and nails?

Christians KNOW that not everyone believes what they believe. They make this doll because they want familys who aren't Christian to get it to spread their views and try to convert people. Dagny3

It isn’t about that. Christians KNOW that not everyone believes what they believe. They make this doll because they want familys who aren’t Christian to get it to spread their views and try to convert people.

Good for the Marines to do what they did.<br /> <br /> However, I also got caught up in hearing Mr. O'Reilly read some of his emails, since the subject matter was Atheism. During one, this pompous ass stated that "the world's worst atrocities were done in the name of Atheism (the exact phrasing may be off, I didn't have a lot of time to write it down)." Now, I can think of many MANY examples of when people were killed in the name of a god, but I can't seem to recall any times where people were killed in the name of no gods. When was any harm done specifically in the name of Atheism?<br /> <br /> Correct me if I'm way out of line on this.

There is actually hope left in the world. Maybe I'm paranoid, but something like that could actually happen. Thats Jesus camp material right there. Attempting to brainwash kids. <br /> But seriously, people benefit from hearing that crap? The kids who get toys from Toys for Tots generally would not get them otherwise. The families dont need to be hearing all that biblical crap. If there was an invisible man in the sky watching over them and looking out for them....why are they getting stuff for their kids from the marines. Real logical. <br /> But thats sorta cool about the Jesus dolls. They would make an awsome gag gift for some of my atheist friends. Wow. There is actually hope left in the world.

With shrub's theoracy at the helm, perhaps the odds of fallout would've been less than today? I know this is way out, but I wonder if the Marine’s TOTs would’ve accepted these dolls a few weeks ago?
