Talking Action Figure
Wal-Mart’s choice to carry Biblical action figures: Religious favoritism or smart move in open-market system?
http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/capress/070717/entertainment/wal_mart_toys
Some earlier posters said that if they carry Christian action figures, they need to carry Zeus figures, Mohammed figures and others.
Some other posters (non-theist for the most part) said that it’s wrong to encourage belief in fantasy in young children. Others replied by saying that the Ninja Turtles, Pokemon, and Ghostbusters are the same type of concept and that there’s no harm.
Other posters (both believing and non-believing) said that regardless of faith, these talking action figures promote good precepts (love your neighbor as yourself, turn the other cheek, etc.)
What do you think?
Since there is adequate demand for such a product in the religious United States, would Wal-Mart have been honest to its shareholders by NOT selling them when given an opportunity?
WalMart should be free to sell or not sell any legal product they desire. The decision should be driven by whether or not they think they’ll make a profit.
