Excerpt from the article: "Angela Hudson was 3
when she knelt by a recliner at home and prayed
for Jesus to come into her heart.

'At first, she wouldn't receive the message,' said
her mother, Connie Hudson. 'For days she wouldn't.
But finally she decided it was time.'

Now 8, Angela prays with her mother every day in
a vacuum cleaner closet under the stairs. She recently
led her little sister, Christian, 3, to believe in Jesus
while they were sitting in the bathtub."

One comment:

No, this isn't an article excerpted from Ripley's Believe
It or Not, this is an article from the Dallas Morning
News Religion section. Words fail me, but I'll give it
a try.

For FREELOVERs, 3 years old is far too young to
be indoctrinating children into blind faith - the choice
should be made by the child once the child is old
enough to choose for themselves.

Of course, FREELOVERs' choice is disbelief but
I expect most FREELOVERs are in favor of their
children being educated on religions so long as the
education doesn't entail indoctrination or proselytizing,
especially not at the age of 3 for crying out loud!
