Atheist parents!

Dear pissweak individuals of this thread,

There is no middle road.

Either you're with Jesus (insert a fictional character of your choice here) or you are against him.

Saying "oh I won't say anything so I'm not doing anything bad" or "I'm just going to let them the figure it out for themselves" or "I'm going to teach my children about the Crusades and Jihads" IS NOT THE MIDDLE ROAD.

You get NO CLEAN conscience with this. You are actively choosing to teach them one side of the coin and there ain't no three sides to this coin.

I am saying this because some of the pissweak characters in this thread are refusing to consider the weight of their words and the weight of their impact upon another human being: acknowledge what you are doing to your children.

You are not above this religion discussion, you can't be a bystander, you can't be outside of this:
Like the fella from Nazi Germany said "oh they came for the Italians and I wasn't Italian so why should I care?"

No, that's not how it works. You are not on the outside of this discussion and you get no clean conscience "oh, I just wanted the middle road."

Religion defines the rules of this game and the rules are pretty specific: either you're with them, or you're against them.

If you're too scared or weak to justify your position then you are a pissweak individual and you have no place to be raising children.

It pisses me off that you want to raise your children with absolutely no leadership in such a critical issue.

I am an atheist and I will be quite clear cut with my children: you are on one side, they are on the other, and no matter how much you think you're right, you are not on the edge of the coin: you are flat on heads or tails and that's all you can be.
I will teach them wherein and wherefore my beliefs stem from but I will not skirt the issue: belief and larger purpose is a natural leaning of every person and they will naturally want to gravitate toward a neat fairy tale purpose like Jesus.

I'm not saying that "teach them to critically think" is a wrong ideal nor is it an Atheist ideal: I want you to acknowledge you're picking your lot on heads or tails. Your cute clever reasoning does not put you above this basic problem: you're with them or you're against them.

Make up your mind.

How ya doing, buddy?
