ha ha no, of course not, but i think it's quite crazymaking to tell children that there is a god that can see and hear everything they do in their life and will judge them for it. the idea that one is being followed around by this unwelcome spy is sickening and terrifying --i did have that notion as a child, and it was utterly stifling. it's bad enough to make you want to embrace satanism (i didn't, but when you think about it... anything to shoo away that peeping tom)

when/if i spawn, i will make sure to spare the little beasties such terrorist notions.

i want to respond to the rest of your post but it's 1030 am and i haven't had breakfast yet, have to work out, do a bunch of work, etc, but i'll come back to the thread & check it out when i get a chance.

and good to have you back on the board. you've been gone for ages.
