They are certainly not healthy. You are right about that. The thing is that all those little kids are going to be programmed to think that way. I know from my own experience that getting out from under religious propagandizing all your childhood long is no mean feat. And the loons who propagate this nonsense get a free pass because of the place we've mistakenly put religious belief in our society no matter how detrimental it may be. Were anyone to try and go against this quiverfull nonsense in any kind of mainstream public forum you would have all those fundies yowling to the heavens about how they are once again being persecuted for being Xtians.
