Two seperate incidents in the week leading up to Christmas caught my spiritual attenae.
In David Jones they were selling spell books, that is books with incarnations in them. These books were in the childrens section, and aimed at children.
Up until the age of 9 or 10, children cannot distinguish accurately between fantsasy and reality.
On Humphrey B Bears show, the presenter was plotting the astrological chart for the next year. Great! Just what you want to show impressionable young minds.
I am not one for campaigning against spong bob or Disney, but this sort of stuff is awful.
It is religious teaching, imagine if they had Rick Warren on Sesame Street, telling the kids all about the five purposes for their lives, their would be an uproar.
It also made me keenly aware that you cannot let your kid sit in front of the box unmonitored, not even when watching something that is meant to be innocent like the big brown non speaking bear.
I always knew there was something odd with Humphrey. After all, he wears a waistcoat but no pants. That’s just wrong.
Many years ago I worked for the Education Department and I was amazed by the number of books about witches, telling kids how to cast spells, were going into primary school libraries.
is ‘spong’ bob any relation to bishop sponge?
