A pretty picture with some silver foil for a mirror and some decoration stuck around. A printed piece of text stuck on at the bottom reads:

When I look in the mirror I can see what I am like.
God is like a mirror, he tells us what we are like.
God tells us that none of us is good enough to be his friend.
Luke 18:9-14

AIBU to feel a bit upset about this? I feel like it won't be good for his self-esteem, his view of God.... anything. Is there any value in teaching children this young about their sinful nature?

Quite apart from the fact that the text is not Luke 18:9-14 (which is the parable of the pharisee and the tax collector) - it is not a bible quotation at all, so why should they write the reference as though it was?

AIBU to go in to the church during the week and find out what is going on??

headinhands I've noticed that the more fervently people believe in a God who appears to have objectionable morals, the more likely it is that they also believe that the God in question allows Satan to have an awful lot of power.

Strange, innit?

Machad yes! That certainly describes this man. He was so angry. But it was always righteous anger of course.
