    Quite right. It's full of sex and violence and many parts are not suitable for children at all - which I would have thought would make it more popular... When Channel 5 broadcast "The Bible" miniseries, they had to prefix it with a warning!
    Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

      @MUN think you should let your kid decide for itself, when it's old enough, whether it wants to be religious. I mean it's your kid in the end, but a lot of religion is about compartmentalising mythology (ironically, in contradistinction to medieval catholicism, e.g. scholasticism, which had much more emphasis on attempting to reconcile faith with reason), to preserve it from saner beliefs, and I don't think this does the development of her reasoning faculties any good. If she later figures out this is all a load of tosh, how will she feel about one of her parents (or their parents) insisting she believes in it? The threat of being tortured in hell if one does not believe is, IMO, abusive behaviour. So I think you're right to be concerned with what it could involve later down the line.

      Oh no, aside from when one tries to troll them with things like this, they are far milder mannered than the crowd here.
