The next time you call someone a Christian child, a Muslim child, a Scientologist child, etc, just remember one thing: You are a moron.

Stop the indoctrination of children with religious lies. Stop mentally abusing your child.

    As Richard Dawkins says, we would never call a child a Marxist, Democrat or Republican child even if both its parents were Marxists, Democrats or Republicans. The same principle follows when it comes to religion. Why, just why, should religion be such an integral part of a child's identity; of anybody's identity? Aren't name, family and nationality enough?

    Interestingly enaugh according to biblical Christianity you are not born Christian, so I don't know what kind of a person would think you were born into a particular religion

    FINAL DRAFT FOR WORLD-WIDE CIRCULATION:

    now with EMBEDDED VIDEOS!

    please FWD all appreciations to randi@randi.org and
    richard.dawkins@oum.ox.ac.uk and myersp@morris.umn.edu



    SEE HOW WE CAUSED THE PRESIDENT OF AMERICAN ATHEISTS, ELLEN JOHNSON,
    TO QUIT HER JOB AND STOPPED RANDI'S MILLION DOLLAR PARANORMAL
    CHALLENGE:

    for randi & dawkins and all the so-called "critical thinkers"

    the ORIGINAL *KING OF TERROR* VIDEO.....

    the *MODEL* of mental health:

    "Look at the ANGLE OF THE KEY....see that, see that...."

    what an idiot this Randi is.....a REAL CRITICAL THINKER....

    Visit:

    http://nostradamus-usa.netfirms.com

    to see how we stopped the MILLION DOLLAR PARANORMAL challenge.....
    watch carefully the consequences of Randi's *idea*.....

    For over 40 years James Randi Zwigert (is this even a REAL NAME?) has
    had total control over who and how the testing was conducted, yet
    despite all this he has terminated the challenge.

    The ONLY REASON why the challenge was stopped is because he lost and
    refused to pay.
    Apparently, Randi likes to break the rules when it serves him:

    "14. This prize will continue to be offered until it is awarded. Upon
    the death of James Randi, the administration of the prize will pass
    into other hands, and it is intended that it continue in force. "

    Great force.....it's over......

    where is my MILLION DOLLARS, you LITTLE *NO-NAME* FRAUD
    PS: Almost Forgot: Love the IRONY of the *BULLSHIT* sign over Randi's
    ugly head....

    I feel sorry for you....for having to deal with so many ignorant commenters. (By show of hands, how many readers thought I was going to say that I felt sorry for her for not having God in her life?).

    Yes, the idea of a child being born into a particular religion is absolutely ludicrous. I mean, it's not just a form of intellectual, ideological and possibly psychological child abuse, it's just utterly absurd. How many people truly believe that a newborn understands such concepts of virgin and virgin birth? Or crucifiction (deliberate mispelling, btw)? How could a child possibly be born a Christian? Are there Christians that think that God just programmed into newborns' mind/souls the understanding of Jesus?

    A person uninformed in the areas of the Cognitive Sciences might well speculate that such ideas may well be cognitive implants given the number of religions aside from Christianity that have invoked virgin births and crucifixions.

    Hey Creationist: you forgot a few, but I'll put them on my post for you.

    !!!!!!!!!!!1!!!1!!one!!

    Anyway, I agree that religious indoctrination is child abuse, but I have forgiven my parents, since they accidently taught me critical thinking somewhere along the way. My son isn't going to have any unfounded beliefs forced upon him - which is why he's not going to an organized school.

    He can learn much more about the world around him by reading books on his own time, asking lots of questions, observing nature, and surfing the educational sites on the interenet. Actually, it's basically what I've been doing since I graduated HS, but wanted to keep on learning!

    Children are born Atheist because they are born with a natural hunger for the truth, and it is a great disservice to cut their curiosity short by telling them the "only" way to think.

    (BTW, Homeschooling isn't for crazy fundamentalists. It's for anyone who knows how sitting in a room for 7 hours a day, waiting for the slow kid in the back row to catch up with the class, forbidden from talking out of turn will only hamper a child's education.)
