You already know I dislike religion; it's a dreadful tool for distorting human values. I'm also an opponent of sexist socialization that short-changes women, in particular. How about if we combine both? Behold, My Princess Bible(amzn/b&n/abe/pwll), a book you can give to your little girl to turn them into Disneyesque Bible freaks.
I'm a little disappointed, though. Is there also a Bratz Bible?
Sadly, this thing gets mostly good reviews at Amazon, and there's only one 1-star review. That's not the worst of it, either: the one bad review complains that there isn't enough Jesus and too much focus on the women of the Bible.
