My point being, any child who wants to learn facts about sex and who has a bit of initiative can do it quite readily by seeking out information him or herself...through normal literacy, in fact! ;-) It would certainly help if one got some helpful information from one's parents, teachers, etc, but if one doesn't, there are other ways.

I never found religion standing in the way of my learning anything about sex, saulgoldie. It wasn't even a factor in my case, because we didn't belong to any religion nor did it play any significant role in the various schools I attended in my youth.

What did play a significant role in those schools was nationalistic political bullshit. They were not teaching me to worship God when I was in school, saulgoldie, they were teaching me to worship the modern political state and to serve it unquestioningly for the rest of my natural life.

So what pushes your buttons clearly doesn't push mine, if I may go by the general tenor of your opening remarks on this thread. ;-)
