I came across this video today on the blog for Glenn Beck’s new project, The Blaze. (It’s the first time I’ve visited the site; not sure what to think yet.)Anyway, this video … well, creeped me out a little, if I’m being honest. At that age – what is the baby? Maybe 2 years old? – it’s very, very unlikely she’s truly inspired by an actual religious experience. More likely, she’s imitating the grown ups and getting positive feedback (as in “How cute!”), which encourages her to do it more. Is that a good thing to encourage, some sort of spiritual training? Or are we teaching our children to mimic a spiritual experience?What do you think? Creepy or inspiring?Visit my new dog blog, BarkAroundTown.com
