Dear WalMart...
We, the undersigned, respectfully request that Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. cease distribution of the book known as the Holy Bible. We make this request after careful consideration, having examined numerous passages in the Holy Bible that are repulsive, stridently offensive and/or illegal. The following five examples reveal the obscene nature of this book and help you to understand why we are making this request.

1) The Holy Bible demands that readers murder hundreds of thousands of Wal-Mart employees.

In Exodus 31:15 the Holy Bible demands: “For six days, work is to be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day must be put to death.” This demand is repeated in Exodus 35:2: “For six days, work is to be done, but the seventh day shall be your holy day, a Sabbath of rest to the LORD. Whoever does any work on it must be put to death.”

Mr. Scott, you are in a unique position to understand how dangerous these statements are. Hundreds of thousands of Wal-Mart's employees work on the Sabbath. The Holy Bible demands their murder. This threat to employee autonomy and safety should be both repugnant and highly offensive to Wal-Mart’s senior management team as well as Wal-Mart's employees.

2) The Holy Bible demands that readers discriminate against women. This type of sexual discrimination directly affects female employees working for Wal-Mart.

In 1 Timothy 2:11-12 the Bible says: “Let a woman learn in silence with all submissiveness. I permit no woman to teach or to have authority over men; she is to keep silent.” See also statements like 1 Cor 14:34-35 and Numbers 31:14-18. These statements should be repugnant to every member of the Wal-Mart management team, since a large percentage of Wal-Mart's employees and managers are women.

1. There is a Wal-Mart about three miles up the highway
I hang out in the parking lot on Sunday Mornings waiting for the "christians" to do the "christian" thing and kill all the employees, but it has yet to happen. There are at least 24 baptist churches in a very small area.

I guess it must be true; "Christians" just pick and choose in their book what makes them "feel" good, like hating gays.

2. wrong day
The Sabbath referred to in the old Testament is Saturday, not Sunday. You're going the wrong day.

Talk about cognitive dissonance!!! LOL!!

They usually support Wally World because the "Left" has a problem with no wages, no benefits, etc. But now they are in a quandry as to whether to support Wally World to piss off the Lefties, or to boycott because of Wal-Mart's HOMOSEXUALAGENDA.

Oh, yeah, and the War on Christmas is starting to rear it's ugly head again.

Lovin' it!!!


Osama at Wal-Mart
