Perhaps there is. Given the shared background of Islam and Judaism, and therefore Christianity of the old testament variaty, you have no idea what you're inspiring your kids to accept as reasonable behavior.
I have no idea who SpongeBob is, but at least he's a faggot with imagination. Some of my best friends are imaginative faggots.

Blame it on my provacotiveness, but you smell like you just got back from a friendly neighborhood book-burning. Contrary to popular belief, children can think for themselves. They can cope with diversity of thought, as long as it is living thought, and as long as they are allowed to maintain their integrity. Too much of anyone else's rigid thoughts clog up a person's mind. If you believe in God, for God's sake let "Him" get in a word edgewise. The best thing to do for children's thinking and growth is to trust them. And I believe I've read somewhere that "He" loves everyone, even faggots. Since you were not, to the best of my knowledge, around when "He" was portioning out tools and talents, you have no idea which ones "He" gave to SpongeBob for the purpose of enriching our universe.

I'm working on a short history.

If you want to give your children a fighting chance, keep down the level of input so that they have time to process what they see. Too much of anything (including sunday school) becomes propaganda.
AND...
Thank you, Gar, for (by way of Bargar) kicking me back into gear. The universe is a strange and wonderful place.
"... I wonder if you actually read the article."
Yes, I did. It seemed to me to smell of over-zealous judgementalism. I quoted his own site on purpose. I think he is making Evangelicals (and Christians in general) look ridiculous.
