Question about religion being taught to children on children's TV channels...?

Question

In the past few days, I've seen on PBS sprout, something where it was telling about the Muslim holiday of Ramadan. The cartoon narrator even mentioned the Koran as a "holy book".

Then a couple of days later, I saw one where a kid was talking about their Jewish traditions.

Here is the question:
Since that channel did this for Islam and Judaism, do you think they would give the same time and respect to the Christian tradition and mention our holy book, the bible?

I doubt it because people are even paranoid to mention the word Christmas. Or if they celebrate it, it has to be without any reference to Christianity and only about Rudolf the red-nosed raindeer or Frosty the Snowman. I think there is a strong double standard where we have to be tolerant of all religions except Christianity. What do you think about it?

Answer 1

I think that you should tell them what you just said here, they need to give Christian's the same air time as they did the others. Since you are the one who saw it, it would be appropriate for you to do this. I've done things like this many times. Write, call, whatever you can do, as they need your input.

Answer 2

I am a Christian...perhaps so, but I also believe we've done alot to cut off our own noses with non-believers with our arrogance, tyranny, and judgementalism. You asked for it....so here you go:

I am a Liberal Christian and not one the ones who many align with "right
wing" Christianity...you might call them "Bible-thumpers"/despots/radicals."
However, here are the scriptural illustrations of why they are diluded
in following like sheep the republican party....why they are turning to
the very fascist-like faction they are choosing to turn their wills/lives
over to. I've been contending all this all along...Please don't judge
our whole religion because of these jerks....you can bet Christ himself
is looking down and likening them to the San Hedren.►◄●►

Answer 3

They should everyone has rights , but we as christians are not always treated the same (sadly)! Well all I can say is I know the truth and i try to show it for family friends and even strangers! The truth is Jesus Christ.-- Jesus told them, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the father except through me."
(john 14:6)--

Answer 4

I agree that there is a double standard in this country. We have gone so overboard with our "tolerance" that we are actually prejudiced against ourselves (or at least, we are acting like it) and we're shooting ourselves in the foot and losing a sense of who we really are.

Answer 5

No, it seems like the programming is done with the assumption that most of the viewers are Christian, and know about that already. Why is it you guys think you are persecuted? I don't get it.

Answer 6

I think religious education is a form of child abuse. I had 12 years of it.

Answer 7

I think they had better mention Zeus
