Subject: RE: BS: Follow Jesus, not religion Andrew Sullivan
If you make your children learn under a crucifix (or other) on the wall, or you railroad them to church on feast-days, or you make them bow their heads to pray, or if you tell them that what's in the Bible (or other) is true and that they should allow faith to trump evidence, or if you tell them that they may be punished in an afterlife if they're not good, including leaving the faith, then you are force-feeding them. Now, Keith, kindly provide me with the name of any faith school that doesn't do most or all of those things. Or do you think it's OK if you don't impose your beliefs, as you claim you don't, yet you're quite happy for a proxy to do it for you?
