Teaching Reason (to Children)
#2
RE: Teaching Reason (to Children)
I would recommend teaching your children about many religions and asking them what they think about them? Whether they make sense? Whether they think a particular religion is right or wrong. Then challenge them on their beliefs if they are irrational or illogical and encourage rational thought. Critical thinking can be taught from a young age and I believe it is the main contributing factor to whether someone becomes religious or not.
Yea so just teach them about all the different religions and question them on what they think. Teach them about reliability, accuracy and validity (if you think they are old enough to understand such concepts)
'The more I learn about people the more I like my dog'- Mark Twain

'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House

“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom

"If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech
