Grainne, that it is interesting way to put it, I was one of the atheist children...

Just how may I ask does a child become an atheist? This is a little-discussed aspect of our debate. It annoys me greatly to have a father pushing an eight-year-old into court to file a lawsuit against a school. That child would much rather be playing with dolls ... or even singing carols which are pleasing to the ear and which have no religious significance whatsoever to the child.

This is strictly an adult issue in which the children are used as pawns. What right does the parent have to foist a belief system off on their child? Especially if it is a belief system contrary to the norm in America, which thus guarantees that their children will be made a spectacle of in front of their peers?

Frankly, I see this as a form of selfish ego-gratification on the part of self-absorbed parents.

So I can't get banned for complaining? Okay, if that's the way you want to play, I'll just have to think of some other way ;-)
