I will say that I understand children need to be protected and nurtured and brainwashed (for lack of a better term), but what is dumped into their heads from birth is all they have to work with. They do not have the cognitive skills or the reasoning ability to question things and wouldn’t comprehend it if they could. Nor are they able to refuse or opt-out, so in their world the gospel, so to speak is whatever they have witnessed or been told. Just because the parents believe something to be true has no bearing on its validity, only on its perceived value, but one has to start somewhere I suppose.
Educating the parents (1) would be a good start here and so would the complete destruction of the Department of no-Education (2). [Since I am here in whimsical land, why don’t we take out the Department of no-Energy as an additional constructive gesture?] The problem with (1) though is that they have been raised under the control of (2). Think about that and then look at what the educational system is putting out. Do you honestly think the deliberate dumbing down of our children just started with this generation? My goodness no … It has gone through enough generations to filter all the way to the President of the U.S. and that happened many years ago.
If YOU are religious, you teach your children early of its merits, sanctity and uncontestable divinity. What do you suppose they teach Muslim children, Christian values? How about the rest of the world … Christian values? I wonder who decided that only the Christians got it right and all the other billions didn’t (Just a thought).
A poor black (pick your own color) person, whose family has lived under the auspices of the Democrat Party for generations waiting for what (?) salvation or for more handouts, is a slave of the system by choice? What do you think their children are blessed with during their formative years?
I am an atheist and do not care what you think or believe, these are our choices. The I find it offensive though for idiots to hide behind the name just to object to anything religious. Why should a real atheist care? What have atheists got to offer except ‘oblivion’? What do you think the above idiots teach their children? Etc., ETC., Etc.
Here we are again ... ‘What came first, the chicken or the egg’. [There is only one correct answer] Do we teach the parents or the children and who teaches what to whom? This of course is how we do it now with predictable and calculated results. The answer is as simple as eating Grams apple pie was hehehe.
The truth shall set you free … wonder where it keeps hiding though? With a few exceptions, it is difficult to find it in print, on the radio or on the T.V. or so it seems in the schools. The truth has to actually be sought to be found and sadly this is just too much trouble with all the talking points around. The internet is only a few clicks away and has ALL the information available to make competent decisions … for now. Nope, rather be on twitter or Farmville or whatever, go figure.
This is the real problem as I see it: How do you teach an undereducated bigot who already knows everything about everything … well anything? I don’t know about you, but I cannot get beyond the talking points with most people without determination on my part … which usually ends the conversation anyway. Yes, I am cynical when it comes to The Government and when trying to communicate with idiots … and for good reason IMO.
JUST STOP LYING and being dishonest, deceitful, two-faced, insincere, misleading, mendacious … and all will be well, eventually. Seems like a little honesty could go a long way here don’t you think … and it is completely FREE.
