FOXNews.com - Toys for Tots Changes Mind, Will Accept Talking Jesus Dolls - Local News | News Articles | National News | US News:

"The Marine Reserves' Toys for Tots program has decided to accept a donation of talking Jesus dolls for gifts, changing course on a decision earlier this week to not accept them."

I hope and pray that they are not just junked and am praying that they go into hands that will be accepting of them and will be enlightened by the message.

Toys for Tots rejects Jesus doll - Yahoo! News

Toys for Tots rejects Jesus doll - Yahoo! News:

"A suburban Los Angeles company offered to donate 4,000 of the foot-tall dolls, which quote Bible verses, for distribution to needy children this holiday season. The battery-powered Jesus is one of several dolls manufactured by one2believe, a division of the Valencia-based Beverly Hills Teddy Bear Co., based on Biblical figures.

But the charity balked because of the dolls' religious nature.

Toys are donated to kids based on financial need and 'we don't know anything about their background, their religious affiliations,' said Bill Grein, vice president of Marine Toys for Tots Foundation, in Quantico, Va."

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."

Let me get this straight. The Holiday Christmas celebrates whose Birthday. By nature, the Jewish or Muslim population would not celebrate it. So why is it not OK to include these dolls????

Widows Seek Wiccan Symbol on Headstones, Government's Refusal to Recognize Wiccan Symbol Leads to Lawsuit by Widows of Veterans - CBS News

Widows Seek Wiccan Symbol on Headstones, Government's Refusal to Recognize Wiccan Symbol Leads to Lawsuit by Widows of Veterans - CBS News:

"The Star of David is OK, as are more than a dozen variations of the Christian cross. Even the atomic whirl used by atheists gets the thumbs-up from the federal government.

But a Wiccan symbol representing earth, air, fire, water and spirit isn't recognized by the federal government for veterans' grave markers."

So let me get this straight. When it is Halloween and they want to decorate the schools with wiccan symbols it is not a religion, BUT when it comes to their faith, they are. What am I missing here???

Latest food scare - Salmonella in Hershey chocolate bars:
