Christian Evangelist explains about new book to scare 5-year-olds,

[mr blur]

because you're never too young to be abused and terrified, right?

What a wanker.

1. I want the virtual version

which probably comes with the screams from hell. What a wonderful bedtime story for $29.99.

Seriously, these people should be investigated for child abuse.

[bvf]

2. Horrifying.

But no more so than what millions of kids are exposed to every day.

3. In the name of God

Child abuse?

[FiveGoodMen]

8. Child abuse exactly

No Christian should be allowed to raise children.

Nope.

Not if we cared at all about the children.

9. Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young

"Teach your children well, their father's hell did slowly go by,
And you, of the tender years can't know the fears that your elders grew by"

[FiveGoodMen]

10. A great sentiment. Wish it had caught on.

4. Ugh, disgusting. I remember being terrified as a very small child.

Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
And if I die before I wake
I pray the Lord my soul to take

I was like 4 and those words scared the SHIT out of me. I was afraid I was going to die in my sleep. I was afraid that if I didn't explicitly and specifically ask God to take my soul *every night* and I died, I would burn in hell for eternity.

Awful shit for a little kid to have to think about.

6. It had the same effect on me.

I also was afraid that I would die before I woke. What a horrible thing to do to kids! And I don't think that they ever think about the effect it has......just a cute little ditty.

5. pit of fire!

the kids will be fine.


or not.

[Curmudgeoness]

7. Speechless. nt

11. Meanwhile, in Germany...

Here's the poster for the upcoming International Atheist Convention. The poster is taken from a German children's book introducing kids to the concept of non-religion, I think.

Aside from the NUDITY!1!, people are bound to be pissed off about those 3 naked guys in front - Muslim, Catholic and Jewish clergy. We can tell by their headgear...

[Cartoonist]

12. I'm guessing those three

embody speak no evil, hear no evil, see no evil, except that one guy only has one ear covered. As all three have to cover their manhood, I guess he can't help it.
