1. Up to a certain age, they'll spend more time playing with the box their gift came in than they ever will with that overpriced piece of shit you lost half a night's sleep assembling.
2. Benadryl -- it's not just for allergies.

I disagree! It's much better to teach them critical thinking skills and let them decide on their own rather than keeping them away from religion, otherwise they'll be vulnerable and might fall in it's trap when you are not there to protect them.

It's much harder to teach them critical thinking skill once religion gets it's hooks into them, religion would die a quicker death without a conveyer belt of fresh children to ruin.

Thing is religion doesn't target only children, it targets anyone vulnerable enough, including adults who might be finding it hard to deal with the harshness of reality, and without the critical thinking skills, they can fall prey to it especially if they have been sheltered from it throughout their life.

Come on, we all know that religion could not possibly survive without children to target. If you read the bible to 1000 adults who had been taught only facts throughout their lives, what percentage do you think would buy into it?

Without critical thinking skills?... 100%
Facts are no different from nonsense for a person who can't distinguish between the two.
