Finally, a child-protection software for us!
:hail:
http://godblock.com/
QuoteGodBlock is a web filter that blocks religious content. It is targeted at parents and schools who wish to protect their kids from the often violent, sexual, and psychologically harmful material in many holy texts, and from being indoctrinated into any religion before they are of the age to make such decisions. When installed properly, GodBlock will test each page that your child visits before it is loaded, looking for passages from holy texts, names of religious figures, and other signs of religious propaganda. If none are found, then your child is allowed to browse freely.

They have free Jesus-books too. AND a giant cross with lightbulbs in it. I SO wanted to slash some tires... But then they would have trouble leaving. Wouldn't want that, now would we..?

I don't think I'll be using it. Censuring stuff only hightens the interest of the child and makes you look scared. As long as no one is preaching to my kid personally I don't see the harm.

Freedom of speech comes with the fact one has to accept full freedom, freedom isn't negotiable.

Well said, but I go a little further and say: It may be your right to make noise, just NOT in my home or in my personal space. One time these Jahova's witnesses came to my house at like 8am, it really pissed me off, so I went to the door, didn't open it, but said loudly through the door, as I pumped a round into the chamber of my 12 gauge shotgun, "I think I'm gonna shoot me some Christians this morning." I looked out the window in time to see three very interesting people jumping into a car and driving away and all I could think was where is their willingness to die for Jesus? Oh well. They never returned.

I personally don't have a problem with my son reading religious stuff. I have already taught him how to think critically. I keep two Bibles in the house, which he rarely touches; because when I asked why I didn't believe in God, I pulled them out and read passages.
