32. I did read it. It talks about instruments of war. It is disturbing, not

uplifting, in my mind.

Children have to deal with war soon enough in their everyday lives. I don't see how putting on faux "armor" at bedtime and prancing about with helmets, swords and shields will make them better Christians. It might, though, make them a bit rabid about those who are NOT Christian--as though they're expected to fight the infidels.

I'm not 'knee-jerking.' I examined the text and find it a curious message that mixes war with faith. We don't need any more damned Crusades.

YMMV, you are free to disagree, and I'm guessing you do.
