(2,322 posts)...in the first place to give kids "spirituality, morality, etc." is being a superior jerk. It's saying, "I know what your kids need to be better human beings--that they're not getting from their parents." That's a jerk. These kids aren't his, they don't even belong to his church, but there he is, using his position to get those kids into his church to show them a play he says isn't indoctrination. That's a jerk.
And him saying, "I'll pray for you"--that's not a superior jerk?
Take a look at it from the other side. The superior jerk started the ball rolling. He's the one saying to a kid's parent that the kid is not going to moral or good or balanced or know beauty, etc. if the parent continues to forgo teaching him what ONLY the christian church can teach him.
What a jerk.
