Christian kids have a lot to worry about these days. First, you have a war with Islam to deal with and that whole mess. Then you have the homosexuals trying to get equal rights and evil scientists wanting federal funding for stem cell research. I mean seriously, the US can’t afford stem cell research. We can barely afford two wars. And let’s not forget about creationism being attacked. Now add in the upcoming Rapture and it’s no wonder kids can’t sleep at night!
Luckily, the brilliant Christian freaks over at Armor of God PJs have the solution. They say it best..
The whole Armor of God Pajama set will help your children to depend on God to protect them from their fears, doubts, and uncertainties at night so their sleep can be restful and peaceful.

Why this site gets under my skin so much I really can’t say. For some reason it just pushes my buttons. On one side I am filled with laughter at the shear stupidity of these costumes. But on the other hand, it fills me with anger knowing that parents are indoctrinating their kids with this garbage. Instead of telling your kids to depend on God, how about instilling in them some self-confidence. How about taking on the role of your child’s protector yourself.
My kids aren’t scared of monsters or any of that crap because I was always there in the middle of the night when they had nightmares… God wasn’t. When my kids were frightened by a strange noise, I was there… not God. My kids have learned that their home is safe and secure because I’m there… and mythical creatures don’t exist, including God.
Now that makes for a restful and peaceful sleep.
END RANT
Thanks to Matt for bringing this to my attention!

The PJs have a striking resemblance with the uniform of a certain white-supremacist group. Don’t you think?

How sad. Teaching children (especially children, but adults too) to have faith in god and just know that god will protect you and take care of everything in your life… also teaches people to not be able to deal with and take responsibility for real life actions and situations of their own volition. If you’re going to have so much faith in god that its all part of his plan and that god will protect you, then you had better not be unhappy when you get cancer or get hit by a car. Fear and uncertainty is a part being human, and causes RESPONSIBLE people to learn to FIX those problems. It all sounds so harsh, but its reality.

Parents that preach religion generally produce children that are religious.
Parents that preach athiesm generally produce atheist children.
Parents that give children a completely objective standpoint on religion, and tell them that no one really know if there is a god, and they should make up their own mind generally produce atheist/agnostic children.
Yea there’s some born agains out there (a concept that I just can’t understand, I blame it on social pressures and ignorance), but generally speaking, a person’s religion is based on what their parents shove down their throats.

Go ahead and teach your kids to rely on old men with beards sitting on clouds. Yes yes, go right ahead, but don’t be surprised when my kid eats your kid’s lunch, bitch slaps him and takes his girlfriend.

And more money is being made off of god and the bible. Consequently, there have been 2 different groups on my way to and from work that have been walking up to cars at the intersections holding buckets for donation. I don’t know who they’re with, and I don’t know what they’re taking donations for. But they have a cross on the bucket and that seems to get people shelling out the dough. Just goes to show, if you put a cross on it, people will give it money in the name of “Christian Charity”.

Hey, god-BS or not, I wish I had a shield-pillow when I was a kid!

The site appears to be down…
August 25th, 2006 at 8:02 pm
thats awesome, i just thought of a great way to stick it to people like this. all you do is post the website, and if enough people visit religiousfreaks we can bring down the site!!! think of it as “slashdotting”
August 25th, 2006 at 10:04 pm
we could call it “freakdotting” but then it would imply that WE were the freaks lol

yes, by all means, keep an open mind. Help your kids stay open minded to. What are you going to tell your kids, if you wear these God will keep you safe?
I hope they grow up and realise how rediculous that sounds and get some perspective on the world.

ROFL! That site looks like a spoof site. I can’t believe it is actually serious or that anyone would actually make their kids wear that crap. You know there is something wrong with your religion/sect when you can hardly tell the difference between satire and the real thing.
Oh, and I see they are based in Florida. I was just marveling the other day about all the shady garbage that comes out of Florida. Florida seems like some kind kind of headquarters for con men, spammers, religious freaks (i.e. Kent Hovind), and all kinds of shady operations.
Gasmonso: As for being angry that parents are indoctrinating their kids in this crap, don’t be. It is ridiculous stuff like this that will turn kids away from their “faith” when they look back and see the sheer stupidity. Not all of them, of course, but those with half a brain. When you can’t tell the difference between satire and the real thing, you know they’re getting desparate.

Yes..
It’s real..
SCARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If things keep going the way they’re going we won’t be able to find clothes WITHOUT a CROSS or WITHOUT a religious theme to them.
We’ll be having to make our own “SECULAR” clothing lol.
