There you have it my FRiends. The future of liberalism and the new spearhead of religious persecution.

"The Age of Reason" all over again. History doomed to repeat itself almost in a predictable manner. Dawkins fails to answer 4 important points. Where does life come from (if not God)? The age of the universe? The orgin of the universe? How can he de-bunk creationism on the grounds that God is too complex for him to understand? That is absurd. Of course God is much more complex than he is even capable of understanding.

I've got to agree with this statement. Raising children this way amounts to brainwashing. Real life ends up trumping this kind of upbringing and ends up exposing 'children' to the realities of this world. The child ought to be told by his parents that his parents are raising him up in a way that they BELIEVE is right, not that they KNOW is right. Children ought to be told/made aware of the fact of the world as it exists...not just as part of some kind of fantasy myth.
