I’m working on a few serious posts, and I’ve been busy with school and life. Hopefully, we’ll have some good stuff coming up, but in the meantime, more snark.
Reuven first introduced me to these guys and their attempts at creation re-education. Ben Resnick shows me they’ve expanded their youth programming with Jesus 4 Kidz.
Some highlights:
The mascot “Lambuel” has a girlfriend “Ruby the lioness” and apparently they want to get married someday. Personally, I think Lambuel would do much better with a wolf.
An elephant character “Habu” is asked: “Wouldn’t you rather have just one God who loves you a bunch than a bunch of gods that don’t love you at all?” Fortunately, “Jesus loves everybody, even the unsaved like Habu!”
Oh, but stay away from Mr. Gruff the atheist:

If you find an Atheist in your neighborhood,
TELL A PARENT OR PASTOR RIGHT AWAY!
You may be moved to try and witness to
these poor lost souls yourself, however
AVOID TALKING TO THEM!
Atheists are often very grumpy and bitter and will lash out at children or they may even try to trick you into neglecting God’s Word.

And if that fails, you can always call his Scottish cousin McGruff. Click on the goat’s head and he’ll say things like, “Coffee’s the only thing that gives me solace” and “Hey Kid, wanna read some Ayn Rand?”
