Maybe if you are really creative about math, maybe 2=2 DOES equal 5.

This is how i always explain religion, lol. So true. |

I think your analogy is a good one, though I don't believe the is a 2+2=4 on the earth right
now..... If there was then Jesus wouldn't have need to come and the fighting started already in the
new testiment....Budda was asked if he was the massiah, and he said (no, I'm just a man, who is wide
awake) |

Agree,
so many religions are so similar anyway. |

I agree. If you are going to commit your life to something, you should seriously study all the other
ways first. It opens your mind to new ways of thinking, and who knows, you might even get a
different religion than you intended. |

Agree, a child is a sponge when it comes to information and Religion is the type of information that
a child would soak right up if subjected to it over and over again. Richard Dawkins said that
Religion is like a virus, and comparing a child's level of gullibility to a weak immune system, a
child would be highly susceptible to infection.
With regard to the numbers, they are just symbols! You could switch 4 and 6 and tell a child that's
that, and they would grow up ignorant. But I'm sure if you told a child; 'if you have 2 rubber
ducks, then take another 2 rubber ducks, you have 5 rubber ducks', it wouldn't be long before the
child would recognise that it doesn't add up. Unless, of course, you made the symbol for four
rubber ducks, 5! |

This story is true or at least it could be true...wink wink....i made it up OK....
I went to buy a car the other day. The salesman told me that the car would do 300mph(kmh). Used no
gasoline, only water. Used no oil, only grape jelly. The exhaust was pure water, better than out
of your tap. Drove by itself so i can sleep on my way to work. And, i could get it all for
$399/month. I didn't buy the car.
The next day, i went to another salesman. He said this car gets 20 mpg. Uses very little oil.
Exhaust is within the legal limits. And you can get it all for $399 per month. I bought the
car.
In this case i had to go to 2 dealers. What if i had gone to the second one first? Would i have
gone to 2?
Your response will be.... If you had gone to 3 you might have got it for $299/month!
I would then say... I was not looking for the best price. I was looking for the best car.
Your response...how do you know its the best car?
My response... Because i didn't feel the need to search anymore. |

I do not understand what you are trying to say. But i am almost positive you are wrong. This may
seem contradictory much like in the example you gave. My certainty that you are wrong is the 5
while your certainty that you are absolutely right is the 2+2 but.... No wait... Still just a bad
analogy.
I mean my head is really aching to understand. [people who don't read about other religions can't
really know if theirs is right or not] is equal to [2+2=5]. Ok i get it now.... What your saying
is simple but in fact the ways in which it is flatout wrong is SSOOOO confusing. But yea i still
disagree. |

Without any true undeniable evidence for either views, who's to say what is right and wrong to
teach. I totally disagree with forcing any belief in your child's face or anyone's for that matter.
Religion, if anything, has many great moral lessons for people to learn at an early age. I agree
that some go overboard. People should be given the opportunity to learn how to respect, love and
understand others. There is nothing wrong with teaching your kids about your religion and beliefs,
as long as you don't shelter them from others beliefs. And as long as they can go out into the
world without bias and hate towards those who don't share the same beliefs. I think that people who
don't ascribe to religion are also teaching their children to disagree with it without allowing them
to draw their own conclusions. The last Christian children's Sunday school I attended handed out
license plates that said ub4me. An hour long sermon about teaching children to respect and love
other's because of their differences. An example of 2+2=4 in my opinion. |
