Opinion : Is Your Church Teaching Pagan Earth Worship In Sunday School?

And how about that pagan earth-worshipping? In a Group lesson entitled "hug a tree" students are led outside to an area with trees. A child is blindfolded and led to a tree where he/she is to hug it, and then feel the tree very carefully. "Try to learn everything about the tree that you can without looking at it." The student is led back to the group, spun around three times and the blindfold is removed.

The Group tree-hugging lesson goes on to instruct the facilitator “after everyone has hugged a tree, been spun around and sat down, remove the blindfolds and find out how many kids can identify the trees they hugged. If it's a nice day, sit down on the grass and discuss the experience."

Questions for the "facilitator" to ask:

* How did it feel to hug a tree?
* How did you feel when you recognized the tree you hugged?
* What do you like about trees?

Are your children safe from pre-programmed, behavior-modification processes at your church? Will they gain the solid moral Christian values that you intend for them to receive from a Sunday School lesson? Not if Group is in your Sunday School.

4. Teaching kids to like trees?

Why, that's outrageous.

I suspect that demons are afoot in that community! Call for an Inquisition at once!

5. Yeah, what's this guy got against trees?

Hey, persecute us pagan earth lovers but leave the damn trees alone. What did this guy get molested by a elm when he was a kid?

:wtf:

6. Hi, Joefree1.

Good point. I wonder if some of these folks are just on a hair-trigger, waiting for "paganism" to appear in their town or something.

Jesus, I kind of wish they'd be strapped to a barge and sent up the Amazon.

And I think sooner would be better than later.

7. You have to understand

There is a real battle for mental landscape going on. Some sects and denominations are very very serious about this. Keep in mind the consequences they presume occurrs should they fail to keep their children on the "right" path. Eternal damnation is not an option for them. Anything that could provide a hook or latch for another belief system to grab ahold of is seen as dangerous.

8. Quick, somebody call James Watt!

"Odds are it was in 1981, when President Reagan's
first secretary of the interior, James Watt, told the
U.S. Congress that protecting natural resources
was unimportant in light of the imminent return of
Jesus Christ. "God gave us these things to use.
After the last tree is felled, Christ will come back,"
Watt said in public testimony that helped get him
fired. "

9. Hahaha that's great!

I have not "hugged" a tree lately. Perhaps I should. :)

10. Oh the HUMANITY! nt

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

11. what in the world is wrong with hugging a tree?

Oh, I forgot. It might make someone sensitive to nature, and then sensitive to other peoples, instead of agreeing to the hate-filled, destructive agenda of some pastors.....

13. Someone should point out to these idiots that pagans breathe...

oxygen. Buddhists and Hindus and atheists too. All sorts of evil evil-doers of evil breathe oxygen. Maybe they'll all start holding their breath and die.
