United States Marines Relent, Stop Hating God

I posted a couple of days ago about the raging controversy-- the United States Marine Reserves "Toys For Tots" program had declined a donation of 4000 scripture-quoting battery-operated Jesus dolls for fear that it would be inappropriate or offensive to a non-Christian who might recieve one. They have relented. More on that here:

If I asked for a Barbie and got that instead I would be pissed. I understand the whole keep the "Christ in Christmas" thing, and I actually agree with it to some extent, but this is going too far.

They should give out the Jesus Action Figures. They have poseable arms and gliding action you know. More Jesus-y fun.

Hangs or floats Johnny Yen. I bought it for a friend of mine last year and it was a big hit.
