Followup on Golden Calf thing

[alexxkay]

I recently posted an entry which presumed that your average Christian would have heard the story of the Golden Calf at some point. Yesterday, I found myself waiting in line at the pharmacy next to a bookcase full of various god-bothering books. I surveyed three different Kiddie Bibles, to see if they covered the Golden Calf. One did, but the other two did not. Just a random anecdotal data point for your afternoon...

Well, these were explicitly books intended to teach Good Christian Children. They all skipped over lots of the OT, naturally, but at least one thought the Golden Calf was part of the core curriculum.
