my 2 cents
Personally I dont believe in teaching your kids anything. Let them make up their own minds...in fact, were I to teach them anything, I would teach both sides of the issue. Intelligent people often decide differently...there is no intelligent agreement on faith and belief, nor all all ignorant people on only one side of the issue.

I want the kids to make up their own mind no matter what I say. But to believe for one second that they are incapable of being brain washed is what I consider to be irresponsible. It happened to me, and the only way I can know if they have the knowledge they need to make informed choices is if I give it to them.

Do you believe that its the beliefs of organized religion that are directly harmful to thinking or is it the people themselves that brainwash an attitude?
