Get Them While They're Young
Religion is unapologetic in its targeting of children, seeking to capture the minds of our youngest and most impressionable and mold them into their own theological cookie cutters. Seth Andrews video of the same name addresses this issue briefly. In this show, we explore many of the tactics used by Christianity and other religions to attract children, to indoctrinate them and to brand them with specific worldviews. We also speak with Edwin Kagin, National Legal Director for American Atheists and founder of Camp Quest, a secular camp that provides a superstition-free alternative for kids and their parents.LINKS:

TPInfo Update
I've updated the TPInfo object on the MUX, and for our players' convenience I'm copying the information here.
#14: Activist Rescue
Contact: Typhoon
Added: Tue Apr 02 2013
Info: Western Asian activist Anwar Assan is being held in Trucial Abysmia prior to execution. Prince
Jumal, friend of the Autobots, has asked their help in his release. The Joes, who have some
experience in TA brutality, agreed to help as well, especially since Cobra Commander is rumored to
be in TA and capturing him would be a nice bonus. Joe intelligence suggests Assan is being held in
one of two locations, and his wife is in house arrest in another. Jetfire wishes the Bots'
involvement to be kept absolutely quiet (robots in disguise!) to keep from causing an international
incident.
Next Scene: Any night Spike is available we can run a rescue operation. Cobra is assisting TA
security. Let us know when the best time is to get the most people on and we'll schedule a date ASAP.
#15: Nuclear Harvest
Contact: Typhoon
Added: Tue Apr 02 2013
Info: With the Decepticons' energy reserves in Polyhex destroyed, they need a new way to supplement
raids, and fast. Scrapper has worked out plans to build a super-reactor on Cybertron, but he needs
energy, equipment, and fissionable materials. To that end, Decepticons are staging raids on nuclear
power plants. The Autobots must stop them, not only to keep the Decepticons from getting a new
source of energy, but also to keep them from causing an accidental nuclear meltdown.
Next Scene: Any night we can get a couple of Autobots and Decepticons to rub together. There are a
few nuclear plans already on the grid, and others can be created on the fly. Anyone can join in on the
fun.
#16: Over Hills and Dael
Contact: Typhoon
Added: Tue Apr 02 2013
Info: Syrian rebels have captured the small town of Dael, which is sits on a strategically important
north-south highway that connects Damascus to Dara'a. It's a big win in a long war, and a loss of
that area is a serious setback for government forces. Desperate, the Syrian government has called in
reinforcements: Cobra! G.I. Joe is in position to secretly help the rebels, however, to keep the
town from falling into Cobra hands.
Next Scene: Any night there are Joes and Cobras on - it can be one night or ongoing.

Shattered Glass Accessories
Since Shattered Glass Magnus shares a mold with Optimus Prime, and traditionally benefits from power armor, I think he needs this:
