So who decides which are inspired and which are crap?
*Blink* You did not just say that did you? Of course the people who have accepted jesus christ as their savior decide which is inspired and which are crap.
Bill Maher once put it best. You can worship any religion you want as long as you accept jesus christ as your personal savior.
Anyway, back to the subject. There is a world of difference between education and indoctrination. I don't understand why people keep insisting they are the same.
I'm not going to insult everyone's intelligence by explaining the differences. If you don't already know the differences, you're not worth talking to. I'd only like to point out that the goal of education is to expand one's mind's horizons while the goal of indoctrination is to either contract one's mind's horizons or at least to prevent any further expansion along that line.
If you want a good example of this, all you have to do is look at how creationists perceive any new info we throw at them.
