You know, I actually tend to prefer my children's fairy tales WITHOUT implied incest and glorification of oppressive authoritarian leaders, but that's just me..

Not saying it's not a fairy tale, in case there's any doubt, just that it's a very bad one. Like most of the book it's from.

I'm kinda sure that this is a kid version where many of the big bad things are stripped out. It's funny when you have to change your holy book for it to sound less psycho.

Even the kid-friendly version only has one set of blood relatives left of humanity, though, so if your kid has better critical thinking skills than your average religious fundamentalist (which most kids age 7 or so and up do if they haven't already had that beaten and/or threatened out of them by said fundies), there's GONNA be some uncomfortable questions 😁

Yeah, it's almost like it's the ravings of long dead blood-thirsty pro-slavery misogynist rape-apologist madmen!

I don't actually have a problem with that in a kid book, most of them contain so many logical mistakes that I stopped caring.

But one thing's for sure, god isn't a good guy in that story.

Wait a minute, is that a rainbow? Those damn leftist... christians! That book should be banned, of course. Someone think of the children.
