Well I for one am an atheist and I would prefer to raise children in a world without religion. I believe that religion does more harm than good and that it warps the mind to believe in things that are not real. I do not want my kids to have to encounter religion in the world.
However, unlike some of the bigoted people here, while it might be my preference to live in a world without religion, I would never try to impose my wishes on anyone else. I believe in your right to live your life as you choose, even if you do not support mine.
If we start banning things simply because someone doesn't approve, we'll be left with no freedom at all.
Live and let live.
Me and my 16 year old brother had a conversation that mirrored that... my dad is a diehard republican who voted wholeheartedly YES on prop 8. My brother and my dad have gotten into many arguments over it until my brother finally threw his hands up and said 'FINE, you decide how everyone can live their lives, even people you've never met before, have it your way and ruin families'
I snickered a bit at my dad's reaction, which was astonishment and confusion
Good for your brother!
I believe the children are our future; teach them well and let them lead the way...
Yah, don't you love how people like him can spout off at the mouth a whole lotta nothing, and think that they've somehow proved a fantastical point?
It's the kind of thing that compels me to answer with nothing more than emoticons and net-speak.
