Suffer the Little Children...

It's one thing when secular attention junkies and church haters misuse this line, it's inexcusable when an ostensibly christian writer does.

Pet peeve. Otherwise glad to see the piece.

Are you sure the writer misused it? I read the headline in the original sense (as used by Christ, "Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not" (Mark 10:14, KJV), and took it to mean "Allow the children to come and partake of Life, do not deny them their right".

Maybe I'm being naive... but I gave her the benefit of the doubt.
