"wrong to implant faith"


As Jack has pointed out, it is up to the parents to decide whether religious instruction is good for a child or not.    Believe it or not, it is not up to anybody else, not even Mr. Shaw and his fellow atheists, though they of course know what is best for everybody.

Sure is interesting.   Mr. Shaw et al. whine piteously about religious figures who tell others how they ought to live and what to believe.   But they generously share their firm conviction that religious instruction is child abuse and as such should not be allowed.    And they do so in their charming more-rational-than thou manner in a way just as unyielding as any fire-and-brimstone preacher.

If Mr. Shaw is looking for intolerance, he should look in the mirror. Maybe he'd recognize something--perhaps for the first time.
