<p>I'd just like to request anyone interested in this topic to read up about Franklin Graham and Billy Graham if you haven't already, before making up your mind.</p>
<p>Personally I have no objection to bible stories being told to children. But I can't figure out why people start getting upset when I tell their children about Lot being inebriated and seduced by his daughters, or Judah mistaking his veiled daughter in law for a...</p>

<p>The most irksome aspect of the 'whatabouteries' is their insistence on donning the mantle of the world's guardian. People are not stupid - even as children - and are more capable of looking after themselves than you believe. Let us decide for ourselves, please, what is right and what is wrong. We may or may not agree with you but the choice is for the individual concerned, not for the obtruder.</p>
