Really, Jacko? Are you in charge of something around here none of us knows about?

The questions I put cannot be answered by people like you and Ron hurling snide comments back. Those are simply the mark of people who are afraid to face up to some awkward realities. You bring up your kids to believe in something for which there is no evidence, yet for which there is a whole lifestyle and intellectual frame of reference attached, then you should be ready, conscience clear, to answer those questions. Not to me. I don't give a damn if you can't, or won't, answer the questions, but, if you don't, or hedge around, conclusions about your integrity may well be drawn. The way we bring up and educate our children is far too important a matter for it to be absolutely no-one's business save mummy's and daddy's. One day those children will be running the planet. It's abundantly clear that people running the planet who are encumbered by religion have done a massive amount of damage.
