Having tossed aside traditional understandings of the Bible and the Christian faith, churches belonging to so-called "mainline" denominations often end-up enunciating positions on social issues that defy commonsense and ignore concerns of greater moral and religious significance.
For shopping convenience, retailers offer prepackaged Easter baskets complete with the traditional confections and usually a small gift such as a toy or coloring book. Sounds innocent enough, but in this day of rampant political correctness not much time has to pass before every single innocent thing in the world ends up offending at least one apoplectic activist .
The Peace and Justice Committee of the Westminster Presbyterian Church in Charlottesville, Virginia has come out in opposition to these prepackaged Easter baskets containing toy soldiers sold at Wal-Mart and K-Mart. Of these toys, the group's chair told the Associated Press, "This is completely antithetical to the message of Easter."
