Oh and remember to give EVIDENCE.
I don't think you know what a challenge is.
If you say, "X is true," I can challenge you to support your claim. I don't have to give evidence that you're wrong; that burden isn't on me.
But that's not what's even really going on, here. First, this thread is about how people react to the image in the OP. I gave my reaction.
Second, you piled on to someone who thought their child was "free-thinking" and so forth. Given the response this community has had to actually engaging in free thinking--e.g., treating one's own assumptions with skepticism in order to test them--I found that funny.
If you want evidence about how negatively the atheists here react when their assumptions are regarded with skepticism, I can dig up the myriad foul-mouthed responses to my skeptical inquiries.
