[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just don’t get why anyone would not love and support their child because some bloke wrote that it was an abomination hundreds of years ago. Why is there so much hatred and intolerance in religion? Isn’t it time for a change? My daughter’s religion teacher won’t allow the word ‘gay’ in her classroom- unbelievable….[/quote]

I’m a CCD teacher, and I don’t talk about it either.  
1). I am a volunteer parent.  I don’t have a lot of special knowledge about Catholicism.  
2). I don’t know how everyone’s family is talking about this at home.  If I knew that all Catholic families felt the same way about this, then we could talk about it.  But I don’t, so that’s an issue for parents to discuss with their kids, not for me to discuss with the class.

This is why atheism makes so much sense. We atheists have no need to reconcile the Bible with the world as we think it should be.[/quote]

Do you commonly find yourself talking to a group of ten year olds about kindness and humility as an atheist?  Is anyone talking to your kids about it other than you and maybe your family members?  
What reason would your kids or your atheist friends’ kids give to be kind (other than “it’s nice” (which is exactly the same thing))?

Because it’s the right thing to do. If someone is kind because one fears that if he isn’t kind he’ll burn in Hell that has no moral value whatsoever. My 14 year old son has always been an atheist and he’s the kindest person I’ve ever met. He isn’t kind because he thinks kindness will get him into Heaven, he’s kind because it’s the right thing to do. [/quote]
