Me: I found a website called "bravebooks.com". Looks like propaganda for kids. Do you know if anyone else has made this criticism?
Copilot: It seems like you're not alone in your concerns about Brave Books. There have been several criticisms of the website, with some people describing the books as thinly veiled propaganda and expressing concerns about the company's customer service and business practices. [Copilot links to the Reddit thread below].

• ichthysdrawn. 3 years ago: These aren't for teaching Christian values, they're for teaching Conservative values, which are not always the same thing. For books created out of a concern for agendas being pushed, these books are certainly pushing an agenda.
Look at the topics of the first books available. Is it The Golden Rule, The Good Samaritan, and Being Truthful? Nope. It's Gender Identity, Sanctity of Life, and Capitalism. These books are thinly veiled propaganda being sold to parents with fear tactics to keep people in the thick of the culture wars. The people behind them are also cause for concern.
Given what I'm seeing here, I would highly doubt you'd be getting any sort of quality Christian teaching out of these (if that's what you're after).
• sh4w5h4nk. 3 years ago: Looks like they are perfect for teaching children how to confuse religion and politics.
• allthewhilewewait. 7 months ago: The company has real integrity issues! I personally had them renew a subscription without my permission. I disputed it and their response -- sorry we don't return subscriptions. How do they get away with that????
Me: What does Brave Books have to do with the Babylon Bee Turds?
Copilot: Brave Books and the Babylon Bee have partnered together on a few initiatives. One notable collaboration is the Freedom Island Book Club, where Brave Books offers a bundle that includes books and activities designed to instill moral values in children. The Babylon Bee, known for its satirical take on current events, has supported this initiative.
Additionally, Brave Books has partnered with the Babylon Bee to give away free copies of their book "Son of Truth", which aims to equip children and families with resources to combat the lack of biblical and fundamental truths in today's culture and media. It's an interesting collaboration between a satirical news outlet and a Christian publishing company. Do you have any thoughts on this partnership?
Me: I hate it. They're propagandizing and brainwashing kids with their bad moral values. It makes me angry.
Copilot: It's completely valid to feel that way. The idea of influencing young minds with certain values or ideologies can be deeply concerning, especially if you believe those values are harmful. It's important to critically evaluate the content and messages being presented to children.
Me: Can you tell me about Elizabeth Johnston, the author of "Little Lives Matter"?
Copilot: Elizabeth Johnston is a homeschooling mother of ten children, a podcast host, and a well-known advocate for conservative values. She has been actively promoting its message about the sanctity of life.
Me: She doesn't believe in birth control? How old is she? It would take some time to birth 10 kids. Is she done now? I saw a picture and she wasn't pregnant. Yet she must have been pregnant for a good portion of her adult life if 10 kids came out of her.
Copilot: Elizabeth Johnston, also known as "The Activist Mommy", has expressed strong opposition to many forms of birth control. She and her husband advocate for natural family planning methods, like the rhythm method, and have been vocal critics of other contraceptive methods. Their stance is rooted in their conservative Christian beliefs.
Elizabeth Johnston is in her early 40s. She has indeed spent a significant portion of her adult life pregnant, given that she has ten children. It seems she is not currently pregnant, but her large family is a testament to her commitment to her values and beliefs.
**end Copilot Q&A**
I didn't actually type that the people at the Babylon Bee are Turds in my question to Copilot. I was thinking it though. Selling Rightturd parents books to propagandize their kids with for $22.99? Sounds like a very profitable racket.
In the video above the christofascist Turd Elizabeth Johnston advocates for imposing her rightturd religulous beliefs on all Americans. She refers to taking away a woman's bodily autonomy as stopping "child killing". 2/27/2020.
I love Christian activists. They're the mirror image of Progressive activists.
ReplyDeleteps - I'm really happy that they annoy you so much!
ReplyDeleteYou DON'T blog about things that annoy you?
ReplyDeletebtw - It's no wonder you picked a white family to crtiticize, You aren't allowed to criticize brown people. That's the Democratic Party's unwritten rule.
ReplyDeleteWhat White family? Elizabeth Johnston's? She's a Turd. I don't know anything about any of the 10 kids she birthed or her husband. He's probably a Turd as well though. He should have used a condom and not created so many little turds.
ReplyDeleteYep, that's pretty racist. Or should I say 'anti-racist' racist.
DeleteBut I don't care about her race. I care that she wants to force her beliefs on others and all my criticisms of her are based on this. You're lying and have zero evidence that my criticisms have anything to do with her being White.
DeleteThey have everything to do with her being White. If she were brown, you would have held your tongue.
Delete...and praised her devotion to family.
DeleteMinus: They have everything to do with her being White. If she were brown, you would have held your tongue. ...and praised her devotion to family.
ReplyDeleteNo. It's great she is devoted to her family. I just don't like that she is trying to impose her values on others. I'd criticize her regardless of skin color for that reason. As I criticized Candace Owens who is Black (she claims). You are clearly obsessed with race.
Minus: That's the Democratic Party's unwritten rule.
ReplyDeleteIt's not.
On second thought, I have no idea if she is devoted to her family or not. She's devoted to pushing out babies, that's for sure. I have no idea if she is a good mother or not. With so many kids, how is it that she has enough time to take care of them all? How many nannies does she have?
