""teaching them HOW to think, not what to think"
Bingo. Teach kids how to think, look for evidence, and make rational decisions based on fact, not fallacy, and you can be confident that any decision that they make will be a reasoned one."

Cara Coleen replied to Bee S.'s discussion 'Raising kids secularly.'"I'm undecided on kids, and have had a "no kids" leaning for a while. The religion issue is one of the main issues for my indecision.

Bee S. posted a discussionRaising kids secularly.
I was just wondering. We all know that everyone here is an atheist, so how will you go about raising your kids? Will any talk about any religion be banned? Or will you teach them all about the religions of the world? A woman said in a forum I'm on:"How can you say you will let your child decide for themselves if you never expose them to church so that they have all "sides" or parts of the decision? I enjoy church and I enjoy going. But realistically I know that my kids may grow up and not want…See More

I like that. We need more presidents like that."

Bee S. replied to Morgan Matthew's discussion 'Questions for Evolutionists'"I'm always curious as to why Christians think that Evolution is the cause of the forming of the world. It explains how life came to be, not how the earth was made. -facepalm-"

Leo commented on Bee S.'s blog post 'Oh the silly Truth arguments'"@Bee
So your "belief" is based upon evidence and reason? Is this your own reason and evidence or that which someone else has provided you? In other words, is your "truth" your own or someone else's?
Is it a relative or an…"

Wassabi commented on Bee S.'s blog post 'Oh the silly Truth arguments'"the word "truth" has nothing to do abstract beliefs... it's all opinions...

Misty: Baytheist Living! commented on Bee S.'s blog post 'Oh the silly Truth arguments'"It seems to me there are only two choices. Either Theism or Atheism. I'm an atheist by default.

I believe that truth is relative. That is my truth. Christians believe in Jesus, that is their truth. I also believe that no one can say "I have the absolute truth". That is my truth.
So I post a link to a video where Bill O'Reilly is slamming Obama for his "lack of religion" on FB and ten seconds later, a friend of mine, mind you more than half of my friends on Facebook are Christian, posts this: Chase: and if ya swear that there's no truth, and who cares, how come you say it.. like… Continue

This girl who I'd been friends with had started harassing me when I started posting atheist related posts on my livejournal. She cussed me out and wrote how both christians and atheists are the same and the only 100% true religion out there was agnosticism. If you guys want I can copypaste it. Needless to say, we are no longer friends. So recently, on her profile on a site we're both on, (Gaiaonline, yes, I am a geek) she said that she hated atheists and that they were vile scum, and that she… Continue

Firstly, you do not alienate people like that. You're in a bloody pageant. And secondly, nice parting shot there. "I feel sorry for him and I will pray for him" (about Perez Hilton) What a laugh. Prayers won't "cure teh ghey" and make people closedminded like you and your country-- I mean, your family. -cough bs cough-

Is telling kids stories like La Llorona and the boogeyman the same as teaching them about god?
Yay for fundies!

I finally got the age old adage of "I'll pray for you" as a response to an argument. I'm amused.
