Christians again in a huff

[Foxaèr]

A children's book that promotes same-sex marriage is being added to public library bookshelves throughout the United States. The Princes and the Treasure, a gay fairy tale book, aims to teach children about same-sex relationships and same sex-marriage.

The author, Jeffrey Miles, told The Christian Post in an emailed statement that his children's book "tells the story of two handsome princes who go on a quest to save a princess, but fall in love with each other, get married, and live happily ever after."

Bryan Fischer, the director of issue analysis for the American Family Association, a nonprofit Christian organization that supports traditional marriage, told CP on Thursday that "because of the power fairy tales, this book is a particularly pernicious form of sexually perverse propaganda."

"The stories and the images that children store up in their minds from fairy tales have a very powerful imprinting effect on their tender young souls," Fischer said. "And the bottom line is that no responsible library should ever include a book like this on its shelves, and no responsible school should ever use this book as a part of its curriculum."

"Christian parents don't want to be concerned only about their own children, they want to keep this kind of warped literature out of the hands of other children as well," he asserted. "And if parents want this book for their children, there's nothing to stop them from going to Amazon and buying it with their own money. But taxpayer dollars should not be spent on tripe like this."

Does Bryan Fischer and the American Family Association have 'clean hands' on the topic of remarriage following divorce? Can they certify their organization has no paid or volunteer staff engaged in that particular vile abomination ? You know, the one Christ mentioned instead of anything at all about the Gays . . .

IE.... "Not only do I know what's best for my children, I also know what's best for your children."

Fuck you

That's nice, Bryan, but enough about the Bible. We're here to talk about The Princes and the Treasure.

I've never understood this desperate need the christian right seems to have to enforce their beliefs upon absolutely everyone, all the time. So, like, it's a bad thing when other people have a point of view and try to disseminate it, but when they do it it's okay? Is that the thing?

Hypocrisy is the foundation they stand upon, I guess.

"A Gay fairy tale"......Chortle.

[SteelCurtain]

So don't check it out and read it to your kids! What the flying fuck.

How many other books in the library exist that you don't read to your kids? Where is the AFA on those books?

It some stupid shit they think jesus said.

They'll shield their kids from reading stories like these but they'll allow them to read Mother Goose's Nursery Rhymes and Grimm's Fairy Tales.

Sorry kids, they couldn't put Humpty Dumpty back together again and Jack did fall down and break his crown.

And if anyone's ever read the true endings to Grimm's Fairy Tales.... At least The Princes and the Treasure has a happily ever after.
