lol- Well you could hire young agnostic or atheist college students to do it for you! Youth need direction don't they? But you don't want to get caught - 'cause they might force you to drink hemlock, which isn't very pleasant. But seriously, I wish there was more attention paid to allowing youth to question authority- and I DON'T mean merely acting out, and piercing their body parts, and listening to songs about killing cops or doing stuff to "Hoes"- that is just caving to another authority- the Youth authority, and bowing to peer pressure. Real questioning is internal, and actually (imo) makes you immune to peer pressure- after all once you realize how stupid it is to be a lemming- you don't want to be ANYBODY'S lemming- not even a peer lemming. I don't mind that my kids examine everything- I encourage them to turn everything over in their minds. I like the results so far. They are far more logical than I thought they'd be- all they are looking for are good reasons for things- and usually I can supply good reasons- since we don't do a lot of irrational stuff.
