Order your candy for evangelizing on Halloween |
It's hard for me to be indignant on something so stupid as this but I guess I must. Faith Pops, Fish Mints, Fish Tarts--are you kidding me?
This could almost be an analogy for how the gospel is "fed" to kids. It's sugar-coated. It has none of the prejudices against homosexuals, other faiths or the emphasis on "believe in me or be tortured eternally" nonsense that was hard for we freethinkers to swallow. It is devoid of any substance--it is gospel sugar. It gets you high and then your mind falls asleep.
If true Christianity means you will be hated for Jesus than this is not what you need to give to kids. Give them something that tastes awful to prepare them for what it is supposed to mean to be a Christian who preaches the Bible. An outcast, a freak, someone who is seen as extreme because they really believe versus sort-of believing. Mainstream Christianity is candy and sucking on a Faith Pop is just feeling good until the good stuff is all sucked away.
This is more empty Christianity, and bring it on. More shit like this will bring about the end to traditional Christianity (if that even exists any more). Unfortunately it will prop up the next generation of religious idiots who will continue to redefine and adapt their beliefs to movies, music and yes--candy! |
