I am wondering. If your child wanted to become a firefighter, or a lawyer, or a stay-at-home mom, would you stop them? Now, what if they decided they wanted to become Catholic, or Jewish, or even Wiccan, would you stop them?
Whether you believe in religion or not, it DOES work for some people (myself included). Why would we not want our children offered a chance to believe in religion, to see if it works for them? It seems to me that we, as a society, are making adult choices for children. And they aren't all working out. We allow fast food in schools, and now we have a near epidemic of childhood obesity. Coincidence? My point is, we are spoon-feeding them information, instead of teaching them HOW to think. I say let religion be taught along side evolution and let the kids learn for themselves.
Comments are appreciated, preferrably well thought out ones.
