And, this is the biggest reason you shouldn't. You believe. You don't, by the very nature of the claims, can't know what the truth is. But, you'll teach it as the truth. So, should the good folks over at the Westboro Baptist Church (the "god hates fags" funeral protesting ass-hats) teach their kids what they believe is the truth? How about the fine upstanding Klan members? Should they teach their kids what they believe is the truth?
Now, you can point at these groups and shout "but, they've got it wrong!" The problem is, they can point right back at you shouting the exact same thing.
And, despite your protestations to the contrary, your kids will most likely believe as adults whatever it is you teach them as children, unless they're very, very lucky.
