‘religious’ discussion almost reaches warfare status. But being a devout atheist I’m above all that, of course. However, it (religion) overflows into the indoctrination of innocents, which for them is not good. Jesuits used to boast to the effect “Give me a boy until the age of seven, and after that he’ll belong to Jesus for life!” (Meaning that the poor little sod will be useless for anything else—a totally programmed organic robot. Cute.)
So my own thinking goes along the lines of “Whilst they’re young and impressionable, ground the little poops in how to think for themselves”. (You know, the basic laws of thought and stuff … but foremost of all: the Law of Contradiction.)
Get the kids grounded in that (self defense) and all the Jesuits and other contradictarians will be useless for anything else …
RELIGIOUS CRAPTRAP
bounces right off of thinkers. The ability to think is a form of armour plating, or if you like, inoculation. Can’t beat it.
For anyone who came in late here’s that Law again
—and if anyone wants to challenge it I’m all ears. Again I ask (boring~!) is there in fact a contradiction between God’s ‘omniscience’ and the human ‘Free Will’?
That’s a gentle range-finder. Challenge it and I may just fire-for-effect … fun for me, if I weren’t so damned busy right now. But God luvs even us atheists, no? (Or did the Perfect Artificer create an imperfect product?) Brrrr …
