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.

I have told this story Christians who insist I am making it up, and when I show them it in the bible they insist it is either not a "proper bible" or I get the "even the Devil can site scripture" cliché

Is that the scariest picture of a bear they could find?

@VictoriaNotes Yes, I recognized Smoky. He looks nice.
@VictoriaNotes It depends. What age group is expected to see this poster? Who produced it? I may be missing something.
@VictoriaNotes Got it!
The bear looking like "Smokey is quite a touch! I have a friend who lives in Israel. She and her husband started one of the first Kibbutz there in the late forties. I sent this to her for her opinion.

I heard back from my Israeli friend. She lives in an area that has almost daily suicide bombers and discovered tunnels and knife-wielding assailants, so she lives on the front lines of instilled hate from brainwashed Palestinians.
While she is not religious and not demonic as many attempt to paint her merely for her nationality, she is proud of and lives by her heritage. She grew up in the Belgian Congo and was in boarding school in Paris in the early days of WWII. She is also a survivor of the kindred Jewish ships that were denied safe harbor at many Western ports due to her being a Jewish child. So she had direct experience of hate and calculated misinformation and propaganda.
She stated that the sermon was made up of calculated lies, entirely untrue according to Jewish texts concerning both prophets. She did say they had something similar there with strict Hassidic and other strict orthodox Jewry.
Abuse of power is bad, be it parents, preachers, teachers, politicians, organisations, corporations. But I must admit sometimes I wish I could get bears to eat people!

I do not know if Catholics still use this prayer (I hope not). It is what we were taught to say while on our knees before crawling into bed: "Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep, if I die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take." Really gives you the warm fuzzies.

Seem ironic that the poster above has the scouts that will not allow Atheists to join.
