Terrorizing Children in the Name of God is Legal in the U.S.
I ran across this site (link below) while doing research on authoritarian religion, adverse childhood experiences, and early brain development. Posted was a story being taught to young children from Grace Baptist Church in California. It’s a lesson adapted from II Kings 2:23-25. Take special note of "The Curse" and following lesson. It's about a 3-minute read.
Brace yourself, it's exceedingly alarming.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Religious terrorism is full of explicit and implicit threats whose chief purpose, whose sole purpose, is to paralyze the mind and kill all attempts to think critically. Reading the article and listening to the recording it is evident that the author is trying to instil fear and as everyone knows when people are afraid they cannot think clearly.
Even the biblical statement: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God" is complete and utter nonsense. Human beings were on the earth long before the first record of language appeared in Summeria 3000 - 3300 BC.

That's so sad... they should whip these so called profits and teachers. Living in fear of the loving God. Hats bullcrap!

That is truly graphic and horrifying. If someone read that to MY kids I'd do to them what they claim the bears did to those children.

I really can't see Christians using the word "fuck", or any curse word for that matter, in their advertising.

it is satire
@btroje I pretty much figured that out.
The thing is, it's not just Christians that terrorize children. I used to work in a laundromat. I can't count the times that parents (mainly mothers) telling their kids what I would do to them if they misbehave. I finally had enough and told the parent, in front of the child, that it's not my problem if they are incapable on controlling their child and that I will be doing nothing to said child. They weren't very happy with me, but I truly didn't care.
@VictoriaNotes Probably, but it wasn't a "if you do this God will strike you down". It was a "if you do this the laundry lady will do things to you". I realize I wasn't clear when I wrote it.
What I was meaning when I wrote it was that "God" never came into the picture. I refuse to be made up as a scary boogie-man just because the parent refuses to discipline their child/children.
Yet, so many will lose their goddamned minds over a proposed law in Texas banning male masturbation. This is why we will always fail to accomplish anything meaningful.

@VictoriaNotes And people wonder why I'm always hoping this whole planet gets taken out by an asteroid? SMFH
That's an atheist joke poster, right? That can't be real. I understand the principle is valid but I can't imagine they use a poster like that to scare kids.

@VictoriaNotes Yeah, The truth is actually much worse. Believe or burn in hell for all eternity and have God and everyone you know and love, hate you for being a sinner is the message being pushed
I think it's a joke. For it to be real, there would have to be a private jet in the picture with the minister giving the warning.
