Fri Mar 25 2005 - A chocolate cross?!!
A chocolate cross?!!
I was reading the news online like I usually do and found that Russell Stover is now making chocolate crosses. I think this is highly offensive and that christians ought to boycott the company for making something so disrespectful.

Now some of you who aren't christians might say what's the big deal with a chocolate cross, its just candy. Its a slap in the face to christians who believe Jesus on the cross symbolizes salvation of mankind. Ok, think of it this way. What if they made a chocolate Martin Luther King who is slain for MLK day? I bet that wouldn't be ok. Any candy that depicts a religous figure is wrong. Even if it was buddha, its wrong. I'm surprised that they even had the gall to try to sell something like that. I mean, especially for christians, what message does it send to the children? Next thing you know, you have children going to church and asking if the crucifix at the church is filled with carmel. *almost funny tho* Still, the point is that its very disrespectful and I know I'm not going to buy thier candy. Yeah, they won't miss my $10 a month, but I think if enough people say or do something, they'll stop.

Forget about the chocolate. Get upset about this instead:

I dunno- to some it may be a big deal to others it may not be....I think the reason why they made chocolate crosses is because it's easter and they believe that christians and other religious people will buy them....At any rate, glad to see you updated your diary again;)

*hugs*
