[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, here's what I think:

1. We are non-religious. If I learned that my child had been shown Veggie Tales on a playdate, I would be upset. I don't like being proselytized, and I especially don't want my child being proselytized.
2. However, my reaction would be, "Since we are non-religious, do you think that in future you could not show my child Veggie Tales on playdates?", rather than "That's it, you horrible person, no playdates ever again!".

If you apologized sincerely, then I think that the next step is up to her, to accept your apology or not.[/quote]

Oh look, the mom from the playdate just showed up! The horrors of Veggie Tales. Given the lyrics of Silly Songs with Larry - I have no clue what your idea of proselytizing is... Talking about cucumbers? Hairbrushes?

Here are the lyrics to the album - perhaps you could point out as someone who is non-religious what is so offensive about these lyrics?[/quote]

Nope, I am the PP. I am not the mother from the playdate.

I have not ever seen a Veggie Tales, so I have no idea about whether each individual Veggie Tales has Christian content. But Veggie Tales, in general, being Christian is not some silly idea that I made up.

So if I am raising my kids as Christians and I hear vaguely that something has non Christian ideas in it, I should just immediately decide it is wrong and harmful to my child without knowing anything about it? Interesting approach you have. You may hate everything Christian or that has faith or mention of God but calling Silly Songs with Larry proselytizing is just laughable.[/quote]
