Probably at the point that they're actually abused.




Do you honestly think that teaching a child to believe fiction as reality does not harm them?

None, the tolerance stems from the fact that those who create our laws either believe in the madness, or realize the power that controlling that faith has over the masses.

That and it's been widely accepted for well over a few thousand years....only recently has atheism and logic/common sense become prominent

...the same tolerance allowed for parents that indoctrinate their children with " Loose Change " or the zeitgeist vids .


good to see you realize both of them are on a par

Last I heard, parents lie to their kids all the time. Santa Claus. Tooth fairy. Mommy & daddy were wrestling.

Sure, those are lies, too, and are probably a bad idea, but they don't go on past early childhood.

That's a little different than outright brainwashing meant to carry on into adulthood.

...there is no stretch of rational thought by rational people that would consider this child abuse and it is an insult to the bruised and battered children who are the real victims .


Oh give it a break already. This is such utter nonsense.
