Slate: 'Is religion good for children?'

Hence the qualifier "may be."

 

As in, "Dick may be delusional if he thinks most of us aren't sick and tired of him continuing to beat a dead horse with topics such as this."

Been here, done this. Many times. Get a new schtick.

 

What a bullshit line that is.

 

All of the religion, none of the God:

How so?

 

Is arrogant secularism good for adults?

 

This story on Secular Humanists trying to recreate the religious worship service and community, without the messiness of God is a lot of fun:

The brainwashing kids endure is horrible. If I were a concerned parent, I wouldn't want my kids exposed to these fairy tales, especially in a preschool setting.

 

"Kids, today we're going to put aside our Bibles and read an article from MoveOn.org."

 

The problem here is raising children on the Bible, with the book being a guide to morality. People like to be selective on how religion frames their morality, ignoring certain parts that are very, very immoral to our modern society. There is a lot of awful shit in there.

 

How kids are usually taught the Bible isn't any different from how kids are usually taught American history: Praise all the good, ignore the questionable stuff, and if you talk about something that is considered wrong today, just chalk it up to an honest mistake.

 

You mean the opposite of the post above yours?
