Reply #139: Some of the "Christian" texts are really quite bad [View All]

Not just because of the anti-science attitudes, but because they're so focused on drudge work and repetition. I think there's an attitude in some fundie families that you'll ruin the child's character if you let them have any fun and a lot of the books they use appeal to that idea. BJU stuff is like that, and while Saxon isn't Christian fundies love it, as far as I can tell, primarily because it's deadly boring and repetitive.

There are a few that are reputed to be pretty good though, even a few popular with non-Christians who just skip over the God bits but find the rest worth the trouble.
