Stephen Law's speech on religious schools - 7 May 2008 - 1

Where is the rest?

[MrTechFox]

Religion is an impediment on intellectual thought. Religious schools are institutions whose sole differentiation from pubic schools is that they actively attempt to infect the minds of children before they are old enough to be able to defend themselves against it. This is a form of child abuse and it has to stop. Let people answer the religion question for themselves when they are adults.

I agree on what he is saying about repressing children. I recall when I was eleven asking a question in class to the nun teaching us. I asked why if God knew everything and knew already which people would be evil and which would be good, he allowed the evil ones to exist. The Catholic nun nearly had an apoplectic fit and screeched out "How dare you question our Blessed Lord!" I shut down after that in the religious class as I was shamed before the rest of my peers.

[SeerTravisTruman]

All religion is toxic, and obviously religious schools should be stopped. However, school only represents a tiny fraction of insane god myth indoctrination.

I have actually challenged Stephen Law on My website. It seems he feels he is not up for the challenge.
