<Once you've intimidated them into believing in, say, the virgin birth, or Adam and Eve, or the holy trinity, you can get them to believe anything.> Yes, intimidation of any kind would be abuse in my book... <Religious instruction for children is child abuse.> your "belief" that "religious instruction" is always intimidation and therefore abuse is misguided IMHO, OTOH.

I have always thought that Gib, and you are the first person I have ever known who had the guts to say so. Every missionary that comes up to my door, I probe their minds a bit to see just how much they understand. Always I look into their eyes, but they never look back!! 95% of the time their education is of the most rudimentary kind. And I close the door thinking, who would do this to their child?

"your 'belief' that 'religious instruction' is always intimidation and therefore abuse is misguided IMHO,.." I received religious instruction at an early age and don't think it has anything to do with my learned independent thought processes....'tis silly to think otherwise imo.... could even be construed as part of the attack on religion these dayz....remember, man causes wars [death, destruction, disease], but blames God....part of our perverted thinking...
