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?
I believe in other lifeforms in different planets after I had seen an Ufo from so close distance . But still I'm muslim , so the life forms in different planets cannot be an obstance to believe in God .
Children should not be forced in any belief type , includes atheistm and its sub branches . So this is a fine line , everything should be explained them without affecting their decisions . This is the right way instead of giving an education away from religion. Children should gain a mindset of questioning.
