disturbing

Whoa. How is this following Proverbs? And why will kids want to play with Job? "Mommy, why can't I have a GI Joe/Barbie?"

(Isn't there something about graven images somewhere? And why aren't Adam and Eve naked OR dressed in skins?
Why are they all white?
Why does Eve's background get an apple and not Adam's? (Bad unsubmissive woman, bad, bad!)
And why will children want to play with such a depressing Job? Couldn't they have picked someone cooler, like Esther or Rahab or even Jehu (complete with speedy chariot!)?

Sigh, apparently "training up a child" has nothing to do with Biblical accuracy.

Action figures? No thanks. But the book ("To Train Up a Child" actually has a lot of good, sound advice. (though some of it is more extreme than I'd go)
