Soper Sun, 06 Dec 2009 21:07:31 +0000 http://www.jtxs.net/the-daring-book-for-girls#comment-3359 I bought The Daring Book For Girls and i was very disappointed to read the sections on palm reading, Bloody Mary(encouraging girls to contact the dead), and light as a feather stiff as a board ("pretending" that the person is dead, and making up how the person died while chanting, and pretending to levitate them.) I am a Christian, and I would be offended if someone bought this if I had a daughter. I bought this for my niece, and it will be sent back. Playing around with the occult is not a game. I know some say it's just a "game," but so a ouiji board, and that's just as scary. I also didn't like how there is not a section in the book on boys, like the book for boys has on girls. In my opinion, this book seems to be written from a atheist, feminist perspective. The book would have been ok, had those sections not been included.

Promotes the 1950s stereotypes of girls' interests and does little to broaden their horizon or foster a want to escape those stereotypes. The only redeeming parts were the "occult" and "Satanic" sections. Don't know why others would be so critical of them, when the Bible is no less scary or gruesome...much more so in the macabre and graphic details, in fact. Just look at Christ nailed to the cross oozing with blood. Those who deny this charge have not read both Old and New Testaments. <br /> <br />Regardless, people still read the Bible to their children...Ever wonder why the children grow up to be paranoid, God-terrified adults?
