My kids are currently enjoying school holidays. They are attending a vacation club type thing. My wife was emailing a friend about it...I will let her own words explain it:
We've been a little suckered this week - we booked the kids into a pirate themed vacation care activity thingy for this week and when they came home today we realised that it's actually a religious group passing off their beliefs under the pirate guise. Yes, a bit scary, they even went on a tour of the church.
Try this for size - my son brought home this sheet today - the title on the page reads 'Pirate page' followed by "Paul was in prison in
Rome. He wrote to his friends in a city called
Philippi who also loved Jesus. Can you spot eight differences between these two pictures of Paul writing to his friends?" Followed by two pictures of 'Paul' writing. Then it gets even better "This is what Paul wrote: Every time I think of you, I thank my God (Phillippians 1:3). Draw a picture of your friends in the picture frame below. Say thank you to God for your friends"
Did you spot any pirates? Maybe it's just me, but I don't see how any of this relates to pirates - other than the title... unless Jesus was a pirate - there were the dead sea scrolls after all. Perhaps the next Disney movie will be Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Sea Scrolls

I laughed and laughed and laughed when I read that. How cunning!
How are they going to explain the whole rape / kill / ransom side of the pirate equation? Refer to the story of Lazarus?
Neato! Christian Pirates. They board you and bore you to death with Galatians!
Plenty o' rape in the bible. The rape of the nazarenes would be something to focus on...
