Status: offline 		Jews celebrate Hanukkah which happens between mid December and mid January. However there are a lot of kids from mixed marriages where one partner is Christian and the other Jewish. Like mine. We put up a tree and ornaments and bake cookies but it is a non religious celebration, started to honor my ex's background and also because his parents became distressed at not being able to give them Christmas presents. My kids also go trick or treating and when little I used to hide Easter eggs for them. I don't think the Easter Bunny is a highly religious figure.

A toy, given out by the Church or so, says "I am the lord your God.  You may worship no other God but me."

Anyone else see a future where people worship stuffed Moseses because they were told to do so?

Yours,

I too would prefer that representatives of the U.S. not be involved in promoting specific religions, not even the one I grew up in.

It would include classic phrases like "Fuck you", and "I had to go out and pick up a special order of 500 yards of inner tube, because they don't make condoms in my size."

C'mon, you know you'd want one.

Yeah, but even in miniature, the fabric for my wang would make the prices too high.

Sorry.

Yours,

A Calif. co. offered to donate 4,000 "Talking Jesus Dolls" to the Marines' "Toys for Tots" program but was rebuffed on religious grounds.
The Marines spokesman said; "We don't want to have these dolls get into the hands of Muslim or Jewish children mistakenly." (paraphrase)
Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think Muslims or Jews celebrate "Christmas."


Did you happen to catch what company it was? I confess I'm curious about their motives. Do they make non-Jesus toys that they could have donated instead? If so, I wonder why they chose such a sectarian offering? Were they hoping, the cynic in me wonders, to be rebuffed and spark controversy?

If he called him John, confusion would spring up over which John he meant.

My keyboard and screen had been blessedly free of Diet Coke for over a week... now you've gone and ruined it.

Aileen...your comment about Moses in the bathtub was hilarious...unless you just got that accidentally, and don't remember the story?  Bullrushes mean anything to you?  Lucky hit.

NO NO NO.  You burn the Jewish Heretic doll.  You crucify the Jesus doll.  Any good little Jewish child can tell you that!

Does anyone actually know what the controversial Jesus doll says?


Not a clue, but here are some guesses as to what it doesn't say:

  • Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's. (Mt 22:21)
  • Lend, expecting nothing in return. (Lk 6:35)
  • Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God. (Mt 19:24)
  • Whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. (Mt 5:39)
  • The worker deserves his wages. (Lk 10:7)
  • Woe to you who are well fed now, for you will go hungry. (Lk 6:25)


(I see I'm finally kinky--cool.)

Jesus kind of looks like Fergus and Moses is wearing oven mitts.


Damn! And that Jesus Doll has a beard that looks like a Chia - Pet!
