Everyone has the right to pass their values on to their kids. You know, the whole freedom of religion thing. Besides, there'll be time enough for dueling propaganda when they get a bit older, right? 647302@blogcritics.org Fri, 2 Nov 2007 03:31:07 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/10/23/112928.php#comment-646970 BOZ the bear sounds like a good teacher for the fantasy material which Muslims and Christians and Branch Davidians and such like to teach their followers. But realistically, to provide the well-balanced perspective that our children deserve, the bear should also teach recent works by Dawkins and Harris such as _The God Delusion_ and _Letter to a Christian Nation_. The reason: these works are non-religious and not subject to the same interpretational drift and vacuous morality as religious fashion. The works encourage children to engage with the evidence rather than drawing away in faith. Enjoy. 646970@blogcritics.org Wed, 31 Oct 2007 20:52:01 EDT
