Last night, it was presented from the pulpit that veggie tales are an ungodly distortment of God's word, that the creators are making fun of and mocking christianity and the Bible, and that no christian should allow their children to partake of such.
I have 2 young children and have seen several episodes of veggie tales, and in my opinion it is the most godly childrens video materials around.
I obviously disagree with the statement made.
So if you are familiar with veggie tales, please give me you opinion. Do you think it goes to far. Is a christian relaxing their standards by allowing their children to watch such? Do you think that veggie tales are ungodly?!

Veggie Tales is one of the FEW things that I'd actually consider wholesome entertainment for a child.
I agree.
My children are starting to "outgrow" Veggietales... I still like them though.

Absolutely NOT!!!!!! Very wholesome, great values in their shows. Definitely not mindless entertainment.

I was horrified when I watched them the first time. I had heard their music and it was cute, but if children watched them without having someone tell them the truth, they will have a very distorted view of God.
It has been a looooong time now, but I remember Jonah and the whale. The only thing similarity to the real Bible story was that there was a character named Jonah, he ended up in a fish and there was a town called Nineveh. That is what concerns me.
I personally wish they would just make cute cartoons about moral kid things and not try to tell "Bible stories" that have nothing to do with the Bible. Little kids get in their mind, after watching the same DVD a hundred times, that they learned a Bible story. If they don't go to church or go to a church that doesn't teach the Bible, but just preaches, they will have lies in their heads instead of truth.
It took me over a week to get one child to believe me over the DVD that the story of Esther that they saw was not in the Bible. Sad. Again, it could have been a cute story, if they had not implied it was in the Bible.
So, I guess I would say that I won't show these to any kids I keep. They imply that they are telling a Bible story and what they show is not even close to the truth.
Just my opinion I can see from what I have read here.
