If you don't agree, just look at the Fred Phelps clan. Indoctrination works.
That's on them then. I'm not all about life handing them everything they should be handed... coming back from indoctrinization builds character
Please note... I would prefer it if the information handed to people as 'true' was actually so, but my own experience with textbooks has been anything but... and these weren't even hyper-religified books, simply inaccurate texts. I am ALL FOR taking a serious eye to textbooks... but I think that giving this eye ONLY when religion is applied to them is a mistake, and it has people assuming the texts are currently 'okay' (they are not).
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
