Story Time: Julia Learns To Disrespect Others

Behold Julia Learns To Marry Wisely. Created by Carla D’Addesi, who appeared in TLC’s “Surviving Motherhood” and co-founded the D’Addesi Family Homeschool Scholarship Fund, the book purportedly packages a “biblical” view of marriage in a way children can understand. But it’s hardly about teaching children about healthy relationship behaviors. Instead, its pages are filled with condemnation.

Its main character, Julia, is filled with the sort of curiosity about marriage you’d expect from an elementary school age child. She doesn’t understand what exactly it means to marry, so she asks her patient parents if she can marry her father, and then her stuffed dog, Cocoa, because she loves them both. She’s told no, of course, and so she turns to other possibilities.

“If I cannot marry Daddy or Cocoa, who can I marry? Can I marry my friend Ellie?” Julia asks, and her mother’s reply is swift: “No, you and Ellie are both girls. God does not want girls to marry other girls, or boys to marry other boys.”

Indoctrinating religious bigotry by equating a union between two consenting adults with such things as marrying an animal - in fun Children's Book Form. It's an insidious way to say "God Hates Fags" - so it's Westboro Baptist Church Light. Evidence for this position? Well, one item presented as evidence is the heartwarming story of Noah's Ark where God allegedly instructed Noah to take two of each animal (one male and one female, mind you) on a cruise and allow everything else on land to die a miserable death by drowning. Oh, there's more at the link...

1. Has anyone told Julia that the Bible demands that we kill her if she has sex before marriage?

And why are the polygamous or slavery-based biblical relationships not mentioned in that image?

2. I hope they tell Julia it's equally wrong to wear mixed fabrics or eat shellfish.

If mommy & daddy take her to Red Lobster or buy her a cotton-poly dress ... poor girl ... she'll burn in hell forever.

Tell your children the WHOLE TRUTH, bible humpers!!!!

3. Funny, how she doesn't use any of the other Biblical "marriages"

5. Someone better tell Julia that she can be stoned to death for wearing

garments of two different fabrics.
