Re: An easy trap to fall into
Do you like to be on the cutting edge of knowledge? The bible has always been years ahead of scientists. It is one of the most advance science books around. In its pages are the answers to the mysteries of life and the invisible laws of the universe.

Abuse is too strong a term for my taste, but there aren't many things of a positive nature one can say about telling children you're giving them reliable and legitimate information when you're not.
Abuse is exactly the word I would use for this case. These people are handicapping their children's intellectual development for their own ideological lies. This is no better than physical abuse.

Furthermore, they are setting their own children up to become atheists once those children start to learn science and discover how much their own parents had been lying to them. As Kent Hovind quoted a home-schooling advocate in his seminar tape #4 at 42min:55sec:
First of all, you're talking to one of those children. Why do you think I feel so strongly about handicapping kids with creationist lies?
I highly doubt the number of children becoming atheists like me is that high. As far as I know, myself and Kelly (a friend of mine) are the only two childhood fundamentalists who broke free of the lies and became atheists. Everyone else we knew since childhood have become christian liars themselves to their children.
