During Viet Nam, I was taking a bus home on leave from a base in southern Georgia and I was in the curb area when a flying roach landed on my chest and ran onto my face. Without thought I swore at the roach and swung a swat at it smearing roach intestines all over my face. A lady in the terminal came out and chastised me for taking the Lord's name in vain.

I think she missed the point......

Well, like the lady who missed the point about cockroach intestines and taking the Lord's name in vain, as you rightly suspect, I do not see the spiritual significance of talking Jesus dolls.

To me, the doll without the 'written' word is meaningless religious exercise (that does little more than caricature the context of Christian belief) but maybe not in the same way that your shout without the coachroach intestines is meaningless. Call me clueless.

Did you mean this reply for the Toys for Tots post? If you did, could you explain?
