Years ago, in a moment of malicious compliance, I instituted bible reading with my kids.
Guess which parts I went after.
I would claim the bible says X. They would claim that there is no way the bible says that. I would get a bible out and show them that it did.
So, now I have one catholic hex-wife, and two godless heathen kids, LOL.
It is often said that to become an atheist, one need do no more than read the horror of whichever religious text. What I found disturbing was that somehow, my kids had acquired/absorbed unquestioningly the happy-clappy version of jebus/pinnochio because it was somehow culturally "built in". A few bible reading classes by me demolished that. Just read what the holey babble actually says (or whichever) and think about it. There is no possible conclusion other than that said text is vile.
