Screaming Penguin - Source Does Matter

Disclaimer: I am a Christian. The kind that has actually read the Bible and believes what it says. However I strongly disagree with how many “Christian leaders” (past and present) interpret and apply the Scriptures.

Now, I must say I agree with 90% of your post. I find it rather hypocritical that the same people who condemn Harry Potter and The Golden Compass turn around and preach “Lord of the Rings” themed sermons. Many in the modern day evangelical church are stuck in an anti-intellectual mindset, which has resulted in people like Adam Holz making stupid comments.

However, I take issue with the following statement, “I agree that kids are impressionable and we should not thrust religious views upon them until they are old enough to rationally handle the concepts.” Religious and anti-religious views ultimately come down to a philosophical point of view. Thus it would appear that you are recommending people thrust a non-religious system of thought on a child before they are old enough to rationally handle the concepts.

In short, your post appears to be recommending that people do exactly what you are arguing against.

if we can describe stupid as a rash phrasing of an argument which repulses the reader based upon a life choice, then your argument is extremely stupid, it's obvious that you don't actually want any conversation, you want the security of commiting hatespeech without the reprecussions, your post was ill informed, ignorantly phrased and generally badly conceived, any christian reading this will not be swayed by your argument, just offended that you believe we're "brainwashing kids" if you think about it with the logic which you have, paradoxically, claimed to subscribe to and simultaneously ignored you would hve realized that nomatter the paren twe all approach child rearing from a position of moral subjectivity, so no matter the method every shild is, in effect brainwashed from the viewpoint of any philosophy not agreenig with your own. furthermore it was more stupid, once again in the objective sense not in any anger at all, of you to post this entire spiel on something you have never read, because as any person can tell you a movie is entertaining to a point, but when the dynamic struggle is to overthrow the catholic church it enters a new realm , one beyond entertainment, and can you tell me where the entertainment in KILLING GOD is? the children do that, they find god and he is stabbed with a knife by a twelve year old boy, would you not find that offensive, what if we killed your logic?
lastly, you can believe what you like, you can say what you like, but it is unwise, hateful and closeminded to say that other people's religions are made up, it is furthermore unwise etc. to open your mouth when you don't know what you're talking about, god is the only god, he has three aspects, yet is one being and is the only god, angels are not gods, nor is satan, who was an angel, mary nor any of the saints are deities, and to claim they are is blasphemy, so as you can see, to say that christianity has gods, makes you sound like a twit, not objective there, i'mjust really tired of all you hypocritical asses who believe that they can claim to understand the world perfectly and explain things which they have no idea about, give their opinions on, for example, books they've never read, it sickens me to see that another asshole thinks he's qualified to preach to me about how i'm perverting the masses to some fictional religion while he perpetrates hatespeech because he thinks that it's bad for people to listen to jesus and the great stuff he said about loving one another, i don't even hate your kind anymore, i pity you because you can't seem to look beyond your own swollen egos can't just live with the rest of the world all you can do is talk aboutyour own self concieved superiority to anyone who has found something hopeful in this world which doesn't agree with you.
