Default Re: \"Atheism for kids\"

Good books. Philosophical. And that's a bad thing, by religious standards.

I love how most atheists are fine with their kids being exposed to Christianity, and have no trouble with the Chronicles of Narnia, but most Christian parents are terrified of their children coming into contact with atheism, and now they're attacking HDM.

I say give them equal exposure, teach them how to think, and let them make their own decisions. I can't see how that isn't fair. But "equal exposure" is horrifying to many religious parents - even the slightest exposure to atheist ideas must be avoided. I think on some level they know atheism is just more compelling, so a level playing field favors it.

Of course, it's really just that atheism is super-tempting because of all the hedonistic orgy-festing!
