Bath in the River of Life

Danz makes me laugh. Today was religious day in school. A couple of guys from the 'River of Life' Christian Centre are in charge of the kids religious well being. Phil and Dave. A couple of larger than life happy go lucky preachers. Dave's claim to fame was he was once 'saved' by an angel.
Danz is a HUGE non-believer. Nothing to do with me. It's something she's decided on her own. Consequently she doesn't tolerate the Praise The Lord, Hallelujah squad too well. She got told off for talking during the talk. She told me she wanted to say it was a load of nonsense and a waste of time and she'd be better off doing her times tables.
Then they had a sing a long.
'Let's all sing like David sang' (the king we presume)
'Let's all clap like David Claps'
'Let's all dance like David Dances'
Let's all pray like David prays'

x4 each time.
Isn't it hard as a parent? I realise the importance of religious education and awareness. I'd been a regular church goer for about 4 years. But this kind of approach makes me feel they're ramming Christianity down their throats.
The session always ends with a huge plug for the River Of Life centre...come see us every Sunday at 9am.
"The Bible is fun" shriek Phil and Dave. Really?
