Is the Bible too graphic for children?

Poll:

  • yes
  • no

A piece in the Christian Century says that the Bible with its "murders, rapes, genocides, betrayals, mauling by wild animals, curses, divine retribution and apocalyptic horrors" is not fit for small children. Do you agree?

  1. I logged a “yes” vote with this caveat: only parts of the bible are too graphic. Other areas have wonderful stories that are perfect to teach children about living life with good choices and a good heart.
