Lying to children about God doesn’t do them any good

Posted by Reason on December 29th, 2008 Comments (1)

A few days ago we were chatting about worldview, and mentioned the conversation going on over at Friendly Atheist concerning whether or not to fill children’s heads with religious nonsense.

Here’s a response to that conversation from orDover, a former Evangelical Christian turned atheist.

I’d add to this that besides lies not helping children or anyone else deal with death, they also belittle the experience of living. If this is all the time I have with any person, place or thing that I love, then every moment is precious and should be savoured, in case it’s my last.

    1. Some time ago, I needed to buy a building for my corporation but I did not have enough money and could not purchase something. Thank heaven my mate proposed to take the lowest-rate-loans.com at banks. Hence, I acted so and used to be satisfied with my consolidation loan.
