Wal-Mart stocks Bratz dolls next to Jesus

Since when is Jesus creator of all things? Read the rest of the Bible.

have you never read the Bible? jesus is the creator of the world. Jesus is part of the trinity, the God in three persons. in genesis God, the trinity says "let us make man in our own immage" thus Jesus is the creator of the world.

I assume then that you are also in favor of Wal*Mart selling toys for Muslims, Jews, Hindus, Wiccans and athiests, since not everyone thinks that Jesus is the son of God and their Messiah. Or is Wal*Mart now for Christians only? This isn't political correctness, it is just...correctness. Not everyone believes as you (or the owners of Wal*Mart) do.

I don't have any problem with the idea of recognizing that the majority of people in this country celebrate Christmas. It just isn't right for the government to get involved in that, and it is stupid for retailers to think that one size fits all.

An early Merry Christmas to you.


walmart has the right to sell whatever they want, whether or not it offends people and whether or not it makes them any money it doesnt matter walmart doesnt have to be fair. in fact if they were going to try to be fair they would have to go out of buisiness because there is no way humanly possible that they could sell toys for every religion because everyone is different. they are inteligent marketers, they know what will sell, or think they do, so its their choice.

The Church eventually was successful in taking the merriment, lights, and gifts from the Saturanilia festival and bringing them to the celebration of Christmas.



The exact day of the Christ child's birth has never been pinpointed. Traditions say that it has been celebrated since the year 98 AD. In 137 AD the Bishop of Rome ordered the birthday of the Christ Child celebrated as a solemn feast. In 350 AD another Bishop of Rome, Julius I, choose December 25th as the observance of Christmas

I wouldn't shop at Walllllllllmart if they gave me the merchandise!

I think you should look at the dolls before knocking them. I personally would rather my children play with Jesus, Moses, Mary , Esther etc than Barbie, Bratz or GI Joe. These dolls talk and quote bible scriptures. there are also very nice play sets such as the nativity, Noahs ark and more. Plus none have been recalled as unsafe this holiday season!

Walmart already stocks items many Christians find offensive such as SI magazine, Harry Potter merchandise etc. I don't have to purchase them any more than wiccans are forced to purchase a Jesus doll. Last I heard though Christmas is a Christian Holiday and does more business for Walmart than any other Holiday.

We can take this lets not offend anyone business a bit too far. In order to not offend muslims should all women wear birkas in public? To not offend Jews should all men wear yarmukles? Men shouldn't shave as to not offend the Amish. See how silly this can get rather quickly?

enjoy the dolls if you can and if not you can always talk to elmo :)

Sam Walton was a Christian and Sams and Walmart have stocked more Bibles and Christian books than other retailers for years. They are not going to give up billions in sales because a small # of people don't practice Christianity.

Yesterday, earilier in the day, I was pondering on the Christmas holiday and the meaning of it. It is a Christian holiday. It is a holiday that has lost its true meaning and given over to a non existant Santa Clause and his reindeers with Christmas music from jazz to rock and roll. I work in a grocery store and as I walk through the store I am constantly reminded of these characters with posters, dolls and the intercom systems Christmas melodies of rock and roll without one song celebrating the Savior's birth. I also thought how Jesusless the store was but for a few "religious" Christmas cards to celebrate his birth.
When I read that Wal-Mart had put a Jesus doll in the store and that they were not prepared for the overwhelming acceptance of this item (which sold out) it made up for all the negative feelings and then some. Christmas is a Christian holiday and being a Christian I want Jesus in my "happy holiday" with as many Jesus items in the stores as can fit. I love Jesus, not Santa Claus. When its Buddha's birthday then put Buddha in the stores for the Buddhists.
P.S. Jesus is Lord

JESUS EXISTS?! SAY WHATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

Our founding fathers did not advocate "separation of church and state", they forbid government from creating laws to establish a national religion, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof . . .". It has been twisted over the centuries so that most people believe what they have been told. Christianity (and most religions) conflict with mass consumerism and overproduction, and those in power don't generally like that, people might spend less on useless junk.
