This is so sad, but true. Many Christians are actually believing this stuff. In 20 years there will be no Christianity left if we keep selling a load of garbage.

Cute story. However, it goes more like this:

Mom, I heard the preacher say that the Bible is absolutely true. Is this correct?
Yes Honey
Mom, my teacher at school says that everything evolved from something called the primordial goo. Is that true?
Yes Honey
How can they both be correct?
Honey, the bible is full of stories that tell us about ourselves, but you have to understand what they really mean, not what they read.
So who determines which bible stories actually happened, and which stories are made up?
Well honey, if the stories disagree with what we know from science, then they must be made up.
Mommy, was Jesus real?
Why sure, honey!
My Sunday School teacher said Jesus walked on water, healed sick people, and fed 5000 people with 1 lunchbox full of food. Did that really happen?
Sure, honey!
But my school teacher said those were tricks, or just stories
Well honey, look inside yourself, and you have to determine what is true or not.
Mommy, am I god?
Run along and play, honey, I need to catch up on Oprah...
