osted by genuineLSUtiger Didn't a Pope or Catholic saint make a similar comment a few centuries ago? Something about give the church a child until he is six and basically he is indoctrinated for the rest of his life at that point? Whether it's Nazi propaganda or religious nonsense it's still the same propaganda. Kids should be raised with an open mind towards others and critical thinking skills and this would be a much healthier society. It's a creepy sign. And the use of the term "Owns the Youth" just sums up my whole problem with religious wingnuts"

As usual, the OT misses the point. SOMEBODY is teaching your kids about the world. It can either be you, based on what you believe about the world, or it can be their friends, their school, the TV, their iphone, etc.

It's our jobs as parents to introduce our kids to the worlds, warn them of it's pitfalls and advise them on how to be better people. how about teach compassion, acceptance and love to our youth as the good standard and see how this generation turns out

Wow, good point. Good thing Christianity has been doing exactly that for 2,000 years or maybe you wouldn't be so sure about that being a good standard.
