no it's not. (that's like saying that science is a 'belief' system - it's an investigation of reality as it is) stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding

i had the whole lot from about the age of 8 - 11. i used to hold the bible for the vicar to read from at service. never trusted him and tried my best never to be alone with him. stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding

no, i'm saying that teachers shouldn't pass their own personal views on the subject over my head. it's not in the curriculum and they're only 6 and 8. praying is a learnt behaviour and they can learn to do it, if they want, when they can make more sense of what they're being told. should i tell them all about sex too or wait till they're older... stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding

Certainly not! Just the Roman Pagan goddess worship of her. I'd use the book from which they base their faith to argue my case. Trust me, I can be much more personable than that. and when they say you're hurting their feelings you'd stop and agree with them? stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding

why on earth would they want to - they're only 6 and 8 and praying is something that has to be taught to them. stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding

It is no more brainwashing than you brainwashing your children to be atheist. i do no such thing. they can make their own decisions when they are adult (when i said 'we' i meant my wife and i). the only time religion is brought up is when i have to handle the crap the teachers are telling them... stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding

so you'd belittle the virgin mary and tell the muslims that they're wrong about jesus. ok... stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding

Do you really think that saying a prayer and praying are the same thing? I can guarantee you that if somebody said a prayer out loud beside me, I would not be praying. Even if I was surrounded by 10,000 people saying a prayer, out loud all around me, I would not be praying. Even when somebody says, let us pray for the homeless. Even then I can think and ponder the plight of the homeless without actually praying. Never mind the brainwashing part. I think you need some prior brainwashing, before even considering that a possibility. we're talking about children here. for instance i've taken my two little ones out of school assembly where they have to pray. i call this brainwashing. we've told the teachers that we're atheist yet time and again my littlest one tells me that some teacher or other has told him that we don't die and that there is a heaven etc... brainwashing is exactly what it is. stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding

No, because they're not forcing me to... that's because you're not actually in that school. you've got to imagine that you are and that's what they're telling you to do (as in the case of damon). you can imagine a god - surely you can imagine yourself praying to the virgin mary or allah. you wouldn't want to hurt their feelings after all... stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding

They can pray to an apparition of Mary on a grilled cheese sandwich for all I care... no, not 'they', will 'you' pray to the virgin mary if catholics are the majority in your school... or to allah if muslims are a majority... and if not, why not? stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding

or you can make a principled stand against religious brainwashing. perhaps those who want to pray can do it in their own homes and not force it on others...
