What's that Jesus says - that he came for the lost not for those that were already "found". Clearly you aren't walking in his footsteps TM, we are the ones you should be focusing your message on, not those "Christians" who I assume already know it. But, like Jarabuon always says, the above is a typical TM reply - extremely arrogant and condescending.
You still didn't answer my basic question - do you have any problem with your kids hearing stories where god wiped out millions of innocent kids because of things that the kids did not do? Would you censor that from them or not? If someone told them a story of a 4-week-old kid drowning agonizingly in Swaziland because god was pissed off at some guys in the Middle East hence he decided to flood the whole world, would you allow your kids to listen? Or if someone told them how thugs came and hacked to death Job's 14 kids because of a bet god had with Satan, would you be OK with them listening to that. Or if the story was about god accepting an innocent virgin girl as a human sacrifice? Or if ... OK, I can put another hundred examples of god killing innocent kids, but you get my point.
My view is simple and I assume most rational people will agree with me: if it's OK for John Doe to let his kids hear gory details about innocent kids being killed, but John Doe has major beef against those same kids hearing a song where two unmarried people are kissing, then John Doe's principles and priorities are seriously f*cked up.
Have a nice weekend y'all...
