This is an offshoot of Rob's :Telling fact from Fiction" thread.
We know that a lot of mental gymnastics are needed to reconcile and believe a lot of the religious shite.
I think we can summarise the most popular points which are necessary for religious people to teach kids at school / or their own kids as a matter of practicality/survival.
#1: If you don't feel well, kids, do not quietly pray to God. Remember, God may be busy. Must tell an adult to take you to a doctor instead.
#2: If kids are bullying you at school, do not turn the other cheek! Try to protect yourself first and tell your teacher/parents straight away.
#3: Don't be suicidal just because God hates gays. Maybe he misunderstood them! It's OK to tell your parents how you feel. This is the modern world ... people change.
#4: Please don't cry over going to hell ... it's not a real place like heaven is... but just try to be good anyway because it feels good to help others.
#5: Yes, of course God made us. God gave us all free will. If you like learning science stuff at school, he won't be angry with you.

No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.
