Re: Crazy Science Puppet Praise Party Duggie Dug Dug 6.10.2012

"Children and adults should be provided with information and permitted to make their own personal choice and informed decisions."

Hi Karin

I don't think you should be castigated for your own views on this, and know you do lots of good in Ashton's community, but hope you possibly see that children do not really have a choice when told to attend and taught this kind of information by a trusted adult. They are vulnerable to believing anything at that age (Santa Claus eg), that's why the church etc targets them in this way. This is the reason for the strong responses from the others.

Keep up the good work.

I take it that it was a creationist show then.

Many of the congregation of St. Thomas's will not agree with that.

Why do they allow such a show to take place?

I don't know Karin and I know nothing about the Praise Party but c'mon folks she's just putting something on for children. Most people (myself included) are too idle or disinterested to provide entertainment for the young. To read what some people say you would think she was indoctrinating children in withcraft or worse. So what if some kids go away believing in an Almighty power who made the world as we know it? So what if you think that the chemistry etc is baloney? These children will grow up and make their own mind up like you or I did,So what if you think that it's all twaddle? Kids are subjected to far worse things than what is in this show.Karin was just issuing an invite if you are not interested ignore it.
