Religious Child Abuse
If you still don’t think that religious parents who inflict their religion on their children isn’t tantamount to child abuse, watch this BBC documentary and have a rethink. Deborah Drapper is a 13 year old fundamentalist Christian, who lives in a reclusive environment with her family. She spouts off bad arguments from the likes of Ray Comfort when trying to convert people (she even uses his “atheist test†tracts) and she falls to sleep each night listening to Kent Hovind spreading constant lies about science.
If you think you can handle that, as well as her emotional and sickening breakdown at the end (Jesus *sniff* he…*sniff* he died for MY sins! *bursts into tears*) then watch it. The documentary only goes to show how dangerous these religions can be. They have turned a perfectly ordinary and probably very intelligent girl into a person who is ignorant of the ways of science and spreads the “loving†message that we are all pathetic and deserve Hell to 5 year old children through puppet shows.
Absolutely disgusting. Here is her blog, which I am going to read and comment on as much as I feel like. Someone needs to save this girl from Ray Comfort and the other people who lie for Jesus.

I agree in the main with what Deborah said, but I can hear resonations of what has been said before by others. Her words were not always her own. as a relatively young born again christian myself i can only envy (as bad as that is ) Deborahs knowledge of the bible. her faith is devout and strong. I can say that her hit em on the head way of evangelism would put off those who could be saved because it is quite frightening to the unsaved to hear what Christians believe to be true. Yes, I am a sinner but I am forgiven, as is any person who believes in the Lord and I think that was not put across in the documentary. I do not believe it was from any intention from Deborah, but rather the teaching of her parents. i try to bring up my daughter correctly in the ways of the Lord but she is free to amke her own decisions – she is her own person with her own thoughts and feelings – she nearly 5 but I do believe the Lord will teach her and guide her in His ways, she is just mine on loan.
Lets talk about evolution and racial differences, soon have the lefties running away and hiding, always does.
"an interviewer who came over as a bit aggresive. " the BBC were never going to allow a Christian to get away entirely unscathed now were they.
Had this been a Jewish or Muslim girl and her family the treatment would have been subtly but noticeably different.
Ok, let's talk. Did you have anything you wanted to bring up or were you just going to make some weird remark and not back it up…
I love how she has disabled comments on her blog entries. Score one for the heathens.
