We see the Lord's hand of blessing every day at AiG, including how so many young people are being impacted. Here is a recent, wonderful testimony about a young girl and her mother that we received through our website:Compare this to:“The AiG conference [near Knoxville] was wonderful. Ken [mentioned] one book in particular, A is for Adam, had more children come to know Jesus than any other [AiG book]. My ears perked up and I bought the book.
“My 4 1/2 year daughter and I read the book every day for a week. One day she looked up at me with tears in her eyes and said she didn't want to go to hell. She said she wanted to be where Jesus—and where her mommy and daddy—was going to be.
“My little girl bowed her head and prayed to ask Jesus into her heart that day. It was glorious. thank God for how you have touched our lives.”—G. D., Knoxville, TN
...the atheistic/humanistic FIG organization that opposed us was out to get kids themselves—to train them in a philosophy of hopelessness and purposelessness … and end up separated from God for eternity...What Ken Ham is referring to here at the last is Camp Quest. He brags that his organization brings a 4.5 year old to tears with the fear of hell and eternal separation from mommy and daddy, then denigrates a camp where children are taught science and the value of critical thinking. What kind of people take a "testimony" that a book containing lies and obvious scare tactics can "convert" a 4.5-year-old child and promote it on their fundraising letter? What kind of people are these?
PS: Can you believe that atheists are deliberately targeting young people with a message of hopelessness … with eternal consequences for the “good” of our children?
Your average, every day fundies.
And these same people will turn around and watch the news, when it shows the children in Jordan and Syria in school being taught to hate Israel, and call it "brainwashing" without batting an eye. That's irony so thick that it isn't even funny. This sort of thing would just be sad if it was just an isolated incident, rather than a culture of instilling ignorance and fear into young children. But because it is a culture and a tradition, it's more than sad -- it's physically sickening.
These are our "cultural competitors": this is what we're up against in the public square to move our country in one direction or another, via politicians and public relations campaigns. This is the sort of thing they propagate -- fear and ignorance in little children. Keep this "testimony" in mind the next time they shamelessly call themselves "pro-family" and "pro-values". Don't forget that.
