As an interesting aside to this discussion, it's worth pointing out that children of religious upbringing have more difficulty distinguishing fact from fiction than those of secular households.

It's as if theres some Board of Religiousity that has been established recently to offer official interpretation of biblical nonsense. Obviously, it's all a bunch of Ad Hoc bullshit since opposite interpretations have been promoted for centuries and the fact that this stuff is neither implicitly or explicitly written in the text. The most amazing part to me is, you seem to be able to spew this jargon without the slightest sign of dissonance. It would be difficult to find better samples of delusion...
...and what you described is the epitome of indoctrination. What you've said translates to "Get them while they're young, because they're less likely to believe it when they get older"
Kinda like circumcision, if you wait to pose the idea to guys when they're 18, there's probably a good chance that less of them will go for it...

This is why it's important to have children in church early in their lives. Please do not say some thing about indoctrination, that's a worn out subject and doesn't actually apply to this discussion, thanks.Where do you people go to get clarification on these sorts of particulars?
