God saw much sin and evil. So, he gathered up Noah and his family along with 2 of all the animals, and put them in the Ark. Then, he made it rain for 40 days and nights. Washed all the evil away and gave us his word he wouldn’t do it again by making rainbows.
What if the Sunday School lessons were more accurate? “God was angry at what he made, and decided to kill everyone except for one family. Did you ever breathe in water at the pool? Not nice. God did that every mother, grandmother, friend, kitten, puppy, bunny on the planet. Gave us rainbows afterward.” Certainly won’t get many future believers that way.
God loves all his children versus God will send a bear to rip you to pieces if you tease the bald guy.
Of course, parents would like their children to follow the same faith as they do, but shouldn’t they let them find out for themselves? Sugar coating the nastiness helps to get believers who will be able to rationalize it later.
Should the wee ones be given the sugar coated version, left to find out for themselves, or something else?
