Trying to save people

[Eel_LahjicK]

Well put. I agree, there is this endless tug-of-war. It's just like politics, or even showing your friends new music or movies you've discovered. It's human nature to want to help, teach and show people the right way. Unfortunately, there is no right way, everyone has their own principles. However, in reality, these principles aren't their own. They're inherited from their parents most likely. That's why we're on here, to hopefully urge some skepticism, especially when it comes to ancient fairytales and mythology. Due to indoctrination, these poor people don't have a choice most of the time. They're not allowed to make up their own mind for a good chunk of their lives. People really need to look at their own religion as if they have just discovered it. I think most atheists would agree, religion is a poison to society, and I'd happily agree with them. Thumpalumpacus put it very well. I also think if their beliefs are kept to themselves and make them happy, then let them be. But...Parents! You need to learn to explain to your kids, that these are your beliefs, and that your kids have the right to believe what they want!!
