I can't see any kids wearing these and thinking they're cool. Can you imagine the embarrassment if as a child you are photographed wearing these, and years later, when you're all grown up, Mom hauling them out to show your date?
Ri-fucking-diculous!

Oh hey look! Training robes for the KKK!

You mean when he or she is forty and mom's removed the chastity belt for the now-betrothed man/woman to his/her life partner in Christ?

You *really* think they'd be embarrassed?

[mandt]

Another cross to bear. Won't they ever go out of fashion?

[electrolite]

Holy christ. Literally. Wouldn't most (sane) people consider making kids wear that shit some form of child abuse?

[actor212]

Just so we all understand precisely what we're talking about here (speaking of child abuse), this is the passage the mother read to her daughter.

Every. Fucking. Night:

10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil.

12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.

13 Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm.

14 Stand firm therefore, HAVING GIRDED YOUR LOINS WITH TRUTH, and HAVING PUT ON THE BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS,

15 And having shod YOUR FEET WITH THE PREPARATION OF THE GOSPEL OF PEACE;

16 in addition to all, taking up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.

17 And take THE HELMET OF SALVATION, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

18 With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints.

No emphases added, by the way.

Now...as a practicing Christian, worse, a Christian minister, this passage always meant to me to fight the power, not a way to keep the closet monster at bay.

and when they grow up they can hang out at the Conservative Cafe!

Damn, I always thought that the wicked snares of the Devil was a drummer for the Stones!

[Midwestern Gent]

Seriously, Christians? The word "metaphor" doesn't ring a bell? Think back to third grade English. Nothing? Everything still literal for you?

[Grace Nearing]

Stand firm therefore, HAVING GIRDED YOUR LOINS WITH TRUTH...

Or, for the more athletically and politically inclined: THE JOCKSTRAP OF TRUTHINESS.

Oh, this isn't the half of it. Have you not seen the Christian camps where they send the young whelps? A recent documentary captured the madness--even feature a cameo by Bob Haggard.

[Jimbo]

You say "fuck" too much. You'll wind up on an anlaysts' couch. Or put your eye out.
