Instead of Spiderman or Bratz dolls, children in the US could soon be clutching a talking Jesus toy, a bearded Moses or a muscle-bound figure of Goliath.
From the middle of August, Wal-Mart, the biggest toy retailer in the US, will for the first time stock a full line of faith-based toys.
The Bible-based action figures will initially be given two feet of shelf space in 425 of the company's 3,300 stores nationwide.
what next? a talking mohammed doll, calling for jihad?
A talking pope, condemning contraception?

How about a religious holiday that sucks children in by promising them new toys?....Christmas. See, there really is nothing new under the sun.

Well, considering that religion has been used to justify the worst atrocities throughout human history, maybe Wal Mart should stock them right next to the toy guns & military vehicles...
