We should send them solar powered versions of, "The God Delusion" or maybe some books on critical thinking.
This does seem like the worst kind of predation by the religious; much like all the efforts that are expended trying to woo children to church with VBS or other activities. Many of my church leaders said things like, "We need people to see that church can be fun and being a Christian is a blast. Invite your secular friends!" It is the same with outreach programs like the, "Living Free" ministry (a ministry targeted at people recently released from prison or jail). I was involved with it for a while and much of what was being done to convince the people that they needed god was nothing more than conditional love used as leverage to exact a conversion from these people.
Does anyone here speak Creole?
