steve-olson.com— When my son was born, I imagined how I would teach him about life. Little did I know that he would be the teacher.

@Jake2 - STFU and go get your own children to corrupt.For the past few months it's seemed like every Digg article, no matter how mundane, is full of "look at me, I'm a raving atheist, I'm cooler than the Fonz, please pound me in my monkey hole Richard Dawkins" comments?
It made it on Digg this high because people dugg it. You digg something if you enjoyed it, or if it's important to you. By the power of logic, I'm going to deduce, then, that there were enough people that enjoyed this article for it to get to the front page.If you don't like a story, don't read it. Or, if you read it and didn't like it, let's try accepting that maybe not everyone shares your opinion.
Um, isn't that what ALL parents do until their children are older? I grew up in a catholic household and we went to church, following what my parents followed, believing what they believed. Now that I'm older I'm a Buddhist, and am teaching my son Buddhism. When he has a child he'll teach that child whatever beliefs he has at that time. I'm guessing you don't have children, otherwise you'd know better....
from The God Delusion by Dawkins"isn't it always a form of child abuse to label children as possessors of beliefs that they are too young to have thought about?"... "The important point is that it is their privilege to decide what they shall think, and not their parents' privilege to impose it by force majeure."
