A-Saul-t on Children

Wednesday, May 30th, 2012

I’ve just been made aware of a group of “Christians” promoting genocide to elementary school children: How Christian fundamentalists plan to teach genocide to schoolchildren

They’re teaching morals and ethics alright: a really *evil* set of them. Although from my reading, it’s genocide as revenge rather than just because they were non-believers (as, apparently the “Good News” Club would have you believe), it’s still evil. Worse, teaching kids to follow blindly because they were told to makes them puppets to manipulated into all kinds of evil, because whether or not God was an active participant back in the day, he’s not now. There are nearly daily examples of people abusing religion for their own ends, from child abuse to the Vatican power struggles to the “Islamic” terrorists. And, it sounds like, the Good News Club falls into that category.

And frankly, is a God who ordered a genocide *really* a God you want to worship? That speaks volumes alone about one’s moral values…
