Subject: RE: BS: Darwin's Witnesses
>>>Religious instruction, including the herding children to church services and making them bow their heads in parroted prayers full of false certainties or making them sing silly hymns, breaks all those rules. It is damaging and abusive, it is teaching children not to question, and is highly immoral, and leads the planet into all sorts of needless difficulties. It has nothing to do with education, that's a fact. If you educate children in the true sense in nine lessons out of ten, then send them to their tenth lesson in which they are told to believe in God lest vile consequences follow, you are confusing them and abusing them. And saying that your input to them is benign, makes social sense for your particular neighbourhood or contains "greater truths" merely says an awful lot about your inability to escape the baleful grip of your own poor education.<<<<

how do you know that what you're telling me (in the quoted passage)is true?


Who told you that?


Can you give me your sources and show me how I can check them for myself?

You seem to be making scientific and sociological assertions. But are you? Come on buddy, show your work.
