When I opened my mailbox the other day, along with the rest of the junk mail was a DVD. I figured it was from some company hawking its wares. It was…



Seeing the “The Story of Jesus for Children” sticker immediately brought to mind Richard Dawkins’ article and BBC series about how biblical edicts and Christian dogma are forms of child abuse.

1. Evangelists, "gettem' while their young," in more ways than one.
Like pedophiles looking far an easy target, so do religious people feed on children before they're taught math and science, because once they're educated its harder to pass superstition as reality.

2. Just a small thing - the series wasn't for the BBC
it was for Channel 4 in the UK. I just want to point out there is an advertiser-funded channel in the UK that happily runs pro-atheist documentaries.

8. Link to the TV site

3. Someone left a carton of FREE JESUS DVDs in my condo lobby
on Easter week. The very same one. This must be quite a campaign!

7. I don't think one will ever find freedom from religion
The fundies would find a way to proselytise to a hermit on an uncharted island.
