Baby Bible Bashers, tonight, C4, 9pm

[hunkermunker]

Watch it.

I don't know whether it chills me more because I'm an atheist or not.

[RTKangaDYSONMummy]

We have got people over for supper tonight so I am going to record it

I have a feeling that it will make me angry though

[Tortington]

i find it repugnant and i am not an athiest.

i hope this doesnt go into complete bible bashing of all christians

in america its tantermount to fame in some communities, its a position of power

nothing to do with religeon

bloody horrible for a child to truly elieve they are the conduit of god.

how fucked up ae they going to be

[hunkermunker]

Samuel's parents are THICK THICK THICK.

[CarGirl]

same as custardo

children do come out with some powerful things put to put them "on the media circuit" is wrong wrong wrong on so many levels

[hunkermunker]

As for Terry Durham - he has a twin (Todd, same name as their dad - who also Terry's manager), who is utterly overlooked, it seems, because he's not been "anointed by God".

[SueBaroo]

Well, I'm not going to watch it, but I'm familiar with the idea (and I've even seen things with some of these children before).

I'd just like to say that, as a fundy-Christian , I disagree with this kind of thing and find it completely unbiblical. Apart from anything else, the gospel is about the message, not about making much of the person giving the message.

Children are perfectly capable of having a genuine religious faith, but they should not be put in the kind of position where they can be exploited. My eldest daughter has a very inspiring faith, but there is no way I would be putting her in front of crowds and saying 'oo, look, isn't she anointed'. Because I'm many things, but I'm not mad.

[hunkermunker]

It's scary stuff. Poor Terry is as much a vehicle for his dad and grandmother's greed as he is for God.

Why won't you watch it, Sue?

[harpsichordcarrier]

hey RTKM long time no see [waves]
I don't think I will watch it either, tbh, I don't think my blood pressure can stand it

[hunkermunker]

RTKM, yes, but have requested your post deleted as don't put my job on here any more - you weren't to know though

[RTKangaDYSONMummy]

Hello Harpsi

Sorry Hunker I didn't think my post thru

[hunkermunker]

Don't - I've only recently decided not to put it on here - you weren't to know!

It's a shocking programme though - anybody with a child a similar age will be appalled, I reckon.

I feel especially sad for Samuel - his parents believe to spare the rod is to spoil the child, so wallop him frequently - and he preaches outside abortion clinics.

It's child abuse, imo.

[unknownrebelbang]

Only seen the ad for this on MN, but I'm glad I'm out and therefore unable to watch it.

[SueBaroo]

I'm not going to watch it because I think it's on at the same time as Ashes to Ashes.

So I can combine saving my sanity and the sin of lust all at the same time

[Alambil]

I find it absolutely sickening and I can envisage the whole show making all Christians - whether (normal) Evangelical or any breed (so to speak!) look like complete weirdos.

I am still in two minds as to watch it or not

[Alambil]

by "it" I mean the advert
