However, no amount of cute CG can make the story of the Israelites invading foreign lands and ruthlessly butchering the people who lived there any less despicable.

EDIT: Anyone want to send the following letter to the creators of Veggie Tales?

Dear Sirs,

I'm a big fan of Veggie Tales. I was having trouble teaching my children the values of the Bible, but when they saw Veggie Tales for the first time, they were hooked! Now they're always very enthusiastic about going to church on Sunday and their daily prayers. You've truly worked a miracle!

Now, I'd like to know when you plan to do the tale of Sodom and Gomorrah in Veggie Tales, as well as certain excerpts from the Book of Leviticus. One of the few things I've been having trouble getting through to my children is that homosexuals are evil and will suffer God's wrath, and it's because of these damn (pardon my swearing) liberal schools! I think the episode would be especially fitting, considering that the main character in Veggie Tales is a zucchini.

Please consider making episodes out of the more controversial parts of the Bible. The liberal media may not like them, but our children's souls are at stake. And the Book of Revelations would look really cool in CG, too!

Your Brother in Christ,

Damien Sorresso.

Minor nitpick, it's Revelation. No -s at the end.

I wonder if they'll have an episode where they deal with horny women without sex toys. :D

That made me chuckle.

I have watched a few of the veggetales movies. If you need a way to preach Christianity to kids at a young age (Get them early, eh?), that is the way to go. Whichever person(s) developed these things are making a lot of money, methinks.
Tugging a rhythm to the vision that's in my head
Tugging a beat to the sight of you lying
So delighted with a new understanding
Something about a little evil that makes that
Unmistakable noise I was hearing
Unmistakable sound that I know so well
Spent and sighing with a look in your eye
Spent and sighing with a look on your face like

Sweet revelation, sweet surrender
sweet, sweet surrender
Surrender...

I was a counselor last year for three weeks. On Thursday morning of each week they had what they called a "pajama breakfast" with cartoons. The cartoon was VeggieTales. I was watching the 7-9 year olds each week.

By the end of it I was almost ready to punch any kid who tried singing any of those damned annoying songs.
