Just because people disagree doesn't make them disrespectful. That used to be called discussion and debate, and is the type of exchange of views that discussion boards are supposed to be used for. [/quote]

True, but why can't we approach one another without using words like indoctrination and brainwashing. Why go to the place where it is suggested believers are stuck in the dark ages with our myths, our opiate. See how that could shut down discussion from the start?

My kids are going to grow up in a more diverse society than we did. So let's TALK ABOUT IT. Why isn't there more room for discussion as grown adults? We have some dialogue in this thread, but not everyone seems open to it.

I hear several posters here have had really negative run-ins with religion or with religious people. Don't try to work through that in every conversation on the issue. I'll try not to work through issues I have with some really repugnant atheists I have met. THEY ARE NOT EQUAL TO THEIR STANCE. The jerk atheist I heard at the store or the proselytizing relative you were forced to endure at Thanksgiving do not represent the whole of the population.

You *don't* believe: I can't relate but you came to that decision through thought and experience I assume. I *do* believe: I also came to that through thought and decision. You may raise your children without religion or with a broad education on all religions in a cultural context saying that knowing these things will serve them well in life, OK. I may raise my kids knowing that their parents have deep faith and we believe it will serve them well in life, OK.[/quote]
