A Delightful Children’s Book About Hell



Hey, there, all you sinners, apostates, reprobates, fornicators, sodomites, adulterers, whoremongers, and occasional jaywalkers! Time for another visit to Fundamentalist Land, with an enchanting little book for kids called The Cage: A Young Children’s Guide to the Biblical Teaching on Hell, by one C. Matthew McMahon, Ph.D., Th.D. It’s published by an outfit called “Puritan Publications” out of Tennessee, and is aimed at helping your lovely little child understand that they are headed straight to the Eternal Fires of Hell, and will burn forever unless they are saved by the blood of Christ. We were initially intrigued to see a kid’s book titled The Cage, but extremely disappointed when it turned out to have nothing to do with the pilot episode of Star Trek. It might be the worst kids’ book we’ve ever seen, though it’s got some stiff competition.




Oh hell, more:

It's some creepy shit.

They made the book and a video that explains the "doctrine of Hell."

Religion, after all, never ever motivates any negative actions. These authors are just mentally ill, or lack a social network or public safety net or something. Religion has nothing to do with threatening kids with eternal punishment for not being sycophantic toward invisible zombie Jewish carpenters.
