brainwashing - be sure to get them while they are young

My niece alerted me to a sick site directed towards kids, intending to teach them that christianity is love, while simulataneously teaching them to fear and despise others.

Don't you just love the comment about atheists (entitled "Spiritual Safety Tip"):

Atheists such as crotchety old Mr Gruff think they've got it all figured out... but then why are they always so sad?
If you find an Atheist in your neighborhood, TELL A PARENT OR PASTOR RIGHT AWAY!

You may be moved to try and witness to these poor lost souls yourself, however AVOID TALKING TO THEM!

Atheists are often very grumpy and bitter and will lash out at children or they may even try to trick you into neglecting God's Word.

Very advanced witnessing techniques are needed for these grouches. Let the adults handle them.

And then there are the "Creation Science Fun Facts":

Q: Pepper says: 'Hey Professor! Haven't dinos been extinct for millions of years?'
A: Wrong, little buddy - Dinosaurs still walk on the land and swim in the seas! And the Earth is only 10,000 years old! Incredible but TRUE!
Q: I saw in a secular movie that T-Rex was a vicious killing machine. Is this true?
A: No, Secular movies lie! T-Rex was a herbivore, its sharp teeth were used to shred plants. The Ark's passengers were safe from harm!
Q: Professor, what are fossils and where did they come from?
A: Fossils are the remains of the wicked men and animals that perished 4,000 years ago in the Flood!
Q: I was wondering, professor... Were my ancestors on Noah's Ark?
A: Yes, indeed! All of our ancestors were on the Ark... except those of our fishy friends!
Q: Did Adam and Eve have bellybuttons?
A: No, Adam and Eve were the first parents and so they never had them! Also Adam was missing one rib!
Q: Where did Cain get his wife?
A: All humans are descendants of Adam and Eve, who had many sons and daughters... so Cain married one of his sisters!
Q: Were Neanderthals the "monkey men" Evolutionists keep talking about?
A: No! Neanderthals were humans with abnormal bone growth due to very advanced age and Flood-cloud-related rickets!
Q: My friend Bomby the bombadier beetle can shoot boiling-hot toxic chemicals out of his butt. Why?
A: God gave your friend that ability for defense against evil and as a testament against the false doctrine of Evolutionism!

Wow. Do people really believe these fairy tales? We have so much growing up to do it sometimes makes me rein in my normally almost unbridled optimism.

One link I'll have to look at later is a link to a page on Game Theory for christians. When you hover the mouse over the link it pops up the ominous tip "Advanced, Cold-War-proven apologetics."

Sadly, no. Hard to believe that people would genuinely be this crazy, I know, but there is way too much extended ranting for it to be a hoax.
