But then I thought: "they will always find an excuse for god". Sure, it won't happen overnight, but I believe as we progress and communicate with each other, it will eventually happen. I guess the hope is in the children. As the older one gets, the more stubborn he/she usually becomes.
So I'd like to ask you guys for some practical ideas that we, as individuals, can do to educate children and help them breakout of the mysteries they've been taught by their parents/cultures.
As a software developer, I'm thinking games. Perhaps books would also work as well, but in some cultures, children just don't read (I'm looking at you, Saudis!). Any other ideas? Do you know of any games, books or any other form of achieving this goal that's been tried before?
As to Abrahamic Religions (the major ones: Christianity, Islam, and Judaism) in which they all practice (Christianity in some regions of the world weak as to this practice) is Male Genital Mutilation "i.e. the cultural soft term - Circumcision". If young males, meaning New Born Infants till reaching legal age of majority (Legal Adulthood) cannot by law & custom have their penises mutilated ceremonially or medically; that is they are allowed keep their body whole as designed by nature. If this practice is stopped...it will also send subtle shockwaves through the legitimacy of "Religions / Dogmas" that practice this unthinking barbarism. And the same goes for Female Genital Mutilation. This would be a win-win for health of Men & Women....and at the same time nibble at the wickedness of Dogmas created from fear & control, not love & the scientific method.
