A Bear Named Jesus

We haven't talked about The View since nutbag Rosie O'Donnell left, but the Bear-Named-Mohammed controversy has brought the crazies out of the woodwork.

Via HotAir, Barbara Walters tries to compare the Muslims who wanted to cut off Gillian Gibbons's head with Christians who might object to a teddy bear named Jesus. Thank God, Whoopi Goldberg brought some sanity to the discussion (never thought I'd say that) by saying a teddy bear named Jesus would be considered a good thing.

There might be some people who would object to someone naming a teddy bear Jesus. There are always people objecting to just about anything one does. But it wouldn't be the first Biblical name used in modernity (for the record, I once named a cat Jezabel, but there's a whole other story behind that). And even if some Christians objected to a teddy bear named Jesus, they wouldn't call for the arrest of the person who did it, nor for that person's execution.
