The entity called Marshall Brain seems to have his shorts in a wad over Christianity. First it was that godawful "Why Does God Hate Amputees" website (our response here); it's been a host of stuff since, and one of the latest incarnations is called the "Wal-Mart Bible Letter".

Mr. Brain wants to convince the honchos at Wal-Mart that by careful consideration of his carefully crafted misinterpretations and misrepresentations of the Bible, he can show them that it is an obscene book that they ought to stop selling.

Now I don't care if Wal-Mart carries Bibles or not. It's not like Wally World has the best selection on such things in the first place. Plus I honestly can't stomach shopping there. I mean, those Sam's Club sodas, for example, just don't have the umph of a Mello Yello or a Barq's. But I do care abour bad scholarship being passed off as legit. So here's a project ya'll can join in on.

Brain is collecting sigs by Internet (he has about 2800 as of this typing) and plans to mail his thang to the President of Wal-Mart on November 1. Why don't we have a little fun and pre-empt that?

I don't have the means to set up a signature collection like Brain does, but I've created a "corrected" letter here as a Word document. Feel free to save it, apply the right date, sign it, and send it well ahead of November 1. Mine is going out next week. Of course Wal-Mart isn't likely to make policy decisions based on either of these letters, but if nothing else, it sure will make Mr. Brain mad, won't it? Update: Another ministry has created a version you can sign online. Go here.
