		<description>Wait...are you implying that indoctrinated Christian children are like the kids from Village of the Damned?  I don&#039;t see many kids with white hair.

My only real comment is that if Christianity is as great, life improving, apparent, and true as you say it is, then kids should be able to arrive at it without resorting to indoctrination.  But as you need to use this tactic, Christianity obviously isn&#039;t as convincing as you think it is.  Lucky for me I got into reading apologetics and counter apologetics.  I guess you can tell which arguments were stronger.</description>

		<description>Im seeing a pattern here in the way the commenting is going.. anyway

The above post.. 

I hope you realize that you are advocating for drilling certain things into childrens heads before their minds are developed enought to make their own decisions. I hope you also realized that this is how Adolf Hitler made an army of Eight million brain-washed children. Each of these children had been filled with propaganda from the time they started kindergarten. 

And yes, the entire world is be explainable by rationality, and the entire world would be atheists if this was true. I personally see no problem with a world where people are logical. 

In essence you are advocating for taking advantage of children&#039;s delicate minds and making them believe what you want them to. 

And whats funny and sad in this, is that European science began with men such as copernicus and galileo, who lived in died in terror of being excommunicated of executed by the catholic church.</description>

		<description>&quot;it is far better for them to be taught to think rationally and then, once they are mature enough, be given the choice of how THEY want to live THEIR lives.&quot;

You can not rationalize about something you don&#039;t know anything about. RATIONALITY needs input an &quot;known output&quot; koeficient to predict the output. RATIONALITY is something else what you the atheists think it is. If everything would be explainable by &quot;rationality&quot; then all educated people would be atheists. But WE aren&#039;t. Albert Einstein said &quot;imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.&quot;

Knowledge that WE AQUIRED is severly limited. Only a FOOL would place his faith on it. And it looks like there are many in our time.
And what&#039;s funny and sad is this, that european SCIENCE has its roots in the catholic monasteries.</description>

		<description>we have not said that you violently force children into religion, you stopped doing that at least 25 years ago
the issue is bringing up young children in a world where they are told god exists gives them this belief. it is far better for them to be taught to think rationally and then, once they are mature enough, be given the choice of how THEY want to live THEIR lives. if they then decide to believe in god... well they can do what they wish, however it was THEIR choice
