just in time for Christmas... a gorgeous atheist's movie. i just can't believe it. it looked so amazing in the previews. i was wondering what it was all about. thanks to a quick forwarded e-mail from my mother i found out. it is so wrong when adults focus their attacks at children.
i had an atheist teacher in 11th grade for my advanced placement english class. he ridiculed the Bible by stating that it was written, and i quote, "by a bunch of shepards" (correction -- by a doctor (luke) and an adopted grandson of a pharoh (moses), just to name two.). i was so upset by the statement and the curriculum (ernest hemingway was a pig. "madame bovary" by gustave flaubert was even more disgusting, possibly, and offended me in a big way.) that i dropped that course (in which he told us he guaranteed us an "A".) to go back to the regular english class. and the "guidance" councelor NEVER ASKED ME WHY! looking back i am amazed. i did eventually have to take that teacher for my 12th grade english course, but the class was a lot less secular. thankfully that teacher has now retired.
and let me tell you, i am going to seriously get to know the teacher's that jack has. no one is going to teach my son lies as if they were the truth. they had better get ready for a grillin'.
which brings me to the subject of public school versus Christian school. i know that both schools crank out good and bad kids... i just think that what matters is that jack would get extra Bible teaching, and NO EVOLUTION CRUD. he wouldn't have to learn the maddeing differences between neanderthals, and "lucy" and what a missing link is... what a waste of time and energy. any thoughts on the subject? i went to public school k-12 and to a Christian college.

yeah i read the book cuz it looked good and was really disturbed that it is such a popular kids book. Fantasy is one thing. painting the church as Evil, and teaching kids that we all have "daemons" which are our friends! is another. :(
yes, you are right. kids are very impressionable and having the WRONG teacher can be very damaging. Especially if a child is ridiculed by a teacher who appears to be very smart.
The bottom line is, wherever you send your kid to school, don't send them out the door prepared. If you give him a firm foundation in faith, he'll be able to stand tall in the sea of confusion.
"Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it".
But yes, its annoying when they ridicule people of faith. They wouldn't mock a Hindu or Muslim child for objecting to a book which went against their faith, would they?
no they would not.
Jesus Christ is the only name that offends.
