"Well, if you don't want that "God stuff" in the conversation, you must not mind if your spouse commits adultery, because the same God that said "thou shall not" said "be fruitful and multiply"."
Aw come-on, as soon as I start seeing GOD thrown around to justify this and that ... your arguments begin to break down. Its like saying the Great Pumpkin wants it.
There is nothing wrong with kids learning about religion ... it gives them a set of core values to build off of ... far better than them having nothing to believe in. But don't use GOD in your arguments as if everyone knows He exists, as if He could be sited like a news story from AP or Fox News.
I'll never forget about the time my 2nd step-father had a run in with a bunch of Jehovah Witnesses when I was 14 or so. He was in WWII and was a scout in a patrol that came upon the Buchenwald death camp. He was there for some time involved in forcing the local German folks to work cleaning up the camp and burying the bodies. He was telling these Witnesses about it in a loud voice with a far off look in his eyes almost in tears and shaking. "... IF YOU EVER SAW THE BODIES, THE PITS AND SMELT THE SMELLS OF THAT DAMN HELL HOLE ... YOU'D KNOW RIGHT THERE AND THEN THAT THERE IS NO GOD!!!" he yelled at them and they just about ran off. I'll take his word for it over the pie-eyed evangelicals.
So ... everytime I hear GOD mentioned to justify a point of view ... I know you've lost the argument. Just like the savages saying allah told me!!!
