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.

No Christian should be allowed to raise children.

Nope.

Not if we cared at all about the children.

And you, of the tender years can't know the fears that your elders grew by"

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.

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.

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...

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.
