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...

Isn't the golden calf an old testament story? I know that Christians generally are supposed to read that too, but my impression is that many do not.

That's bizarre. I certainly had the Golden Calf story (with some editing) in my Children's Bible growing up. It's such an important part of the 10 commandments story.
